Cialis - dietary supplement or medicine?

Manufacturers of the drug for increasing male sexual performance clearly indicate that Cialis is a medical drug. A substance made on the basis of tadalafil and cannot be classified as aphrodisiacs or dietary supplements.

Since the active components of the drug produce a tonic effect on the patient's body, the patient must clearly follow the recommendations of the doctor who prescribed Cialis. If a man with reduced sexual potency self-medicates and takes a pharmaceutical drug without first consulting a urologist, he may suffer from unwanted somatic events and deterioration of erectile function.

Drug release form

Cialis belongs to the group of type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors, which are available in tablet form. Small almond-shaped dragees with letter engraving are light yellow in color. To preserve the active ingredients until they are absorbed into the blood, the pills are covered with a protective film. One box of Cialis can contain up to 4 blisters with tablets. One aluminum blister usually contains up to 10 pills.

Indications for use

A pharmacological preparation should be taken by sexually mature men after consultation with a urologist. The doctor examines and examines the patient, prescribing tadalafil after identifying the following signs of the disease:

• decrease in the strength of sexual desire, loss of interest in the opposite sex
• weakening or complete loss of erectile capabilities
• lack of satisfaction after intercourse
• uncontrollable ejaculation, which can occur a minute after the start of sexual intercourse
• fear of intimacy, compulsive expectation syndrome

Cialis demonstrates high efficiency when it is necessary to eliminate the consequences of the following health conditions that cause a decrease in erection:

• low resistance to stress, severe mental and physical fatigue and frequent conflicts, as well as psychoses, neuroses and depression
• atherosclerosis of the vascular walls, circulatory failure and varicose veins in the groin
• the initial stage of cavity insufficiency
• destructive changes in tissues occurring under the influence of intracellular oxidative processes
• hormonal imbalance associated with insufficient testosterone levels in the blood

A pharmacological preparation with a pronounced tonic effect helps to restore healthy potency after:

• alcohol and drug abuse
• long-term smoking
• systematic use of certain medications (muscle relaxants and antidepressants, drugs for Parkinson's disease and prostate cancer)

Action of the drug

The drug has an intense vasodilating and stimulating effect on the man's body. After taking tadalafil (the recommended dosage is up to 20 mg per day), the body responds better to erection mediators. As a result of the increased bioavailability of nitric oxide, there is a rapid increase in vascular lumen. The cavities widened from the plasma squeeze the venous ducts, preventing the increased outflow of blood from the inguinal zone. As a result, the man experiences a confident erection, which stops after a bright orgasm and controlled ejaculation.

The danger of priapism

In case of an overdose of tadalafil, the risk of developing priapism remains. This erectile dysfunction is considered one of the most dangerous side effects associated with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. With the onset of priapism, the erection does not weaken after ejaculation. The man continues to experience painful erection, but does not feel sexual desire. The condition lasts from 6 hours or more, it is accompanied by the bending of the penis up, towards the abdomen. With this pathology, an increase in blood pressure in the intimate area occurs. There is swelling of the foreskin and glans. If urgent medical care is not provided in the pelvic area, pathological inflammatory processes develop. The man suffers from thrombosis and infection of the perineum. With prolonged neglect of erectile dysfunction, gangrene of the penis occurs, entailing a complete and incurable loss of erectile ability.
