What is this medicine?
TADALAFIL tablets are used to treat erection problems in men. One of the main benefits of Cialis Professional is the heightened sensitivity to the penis. This means that it should take less stimulation to achieve an erection for those individuals suffering from erectile dysfunction, though stimulation must still be present. In addition to the increased sensitivity, men have also been said to experience longer effects with this new formula of tadalafil, setting the response period from anywhere between 38 and 48 hours.
What should I tell my health care provider before I take this medicine?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
eye or vision problems, including a rare inherited eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa
heart disease, angina, a history of heart attack, irregular heart beats, or other heart problems
high or low blood pressure
kidney or liver disease
stroke
an unusual or allergic reaction to tadalafil, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
How should I use this medicine?
Cialis Professional is taken as needed 15-20 min before sexual activity. Because Cialis Professional is chewed, the effects typically start much sooner compared with orally consumed medicines. This is due to the "rapid chemical uptake" of this new formula, adding a great deal more flexibility to the treatment plan of a given individual.
You should not take this dose more than once per day. Do not take your medicine more often than directed.
