Cialis for epilepsy

Subject to the rules for taking a pharmacological agent, patients suffering from a decrease in erectile ability can carry out a full course of treatment with tadalafil. Individuals with epilepsy symptoms should take the medication under the strict supervision of a physician to avoid unwanted effects.

Epilepsy and its consequences

By epilepsy, it is customary to mean a chronic disorder of the brain associated with spontaneous attacks of impaired thinking and motor function. The most common symptom of the disease is an epileptic seizure, which occurs with muscle twitching or without seizures.

Patients who do not receive adequate treatment for epilepsy and who have frequent seizures may develop:

• traumatic injuries of any part of the body
• impaired mental development
• mental disorders (tearfulness and aggressiveness, depressive symptoms and neurotic changes)

In the process of developing an epileptic seizure, there is an increased risk of choking on vomit when the tongue sinks. Thus, if prompt first aid is not provided, a person may die.

Epilepsy symptoms

The symptoms of epilepsy appear spontaneously. In especially sensitive patients, pathological signs arise due to the irritating effect of bright light, blinking of colored paws or loud sounds. An epileptic seizure can be provoked by a febrile condition, which is accompanied by an increase in body temperature, general weakness and increased headache. There are 2 types of symptoms associated with epilepsy, namely:

• motor seizure. The patient develops partial convulsions, that is, short-term involuntary twitching. They appear in any part of the body, but they are most often seen in the arms and legs. Patients may also develop generalized seizures throughout the body. In this case, deep fainting, involuntary urination and defecation, biting of the tongue are possible. After the end of the epileptic seizure, the man experiences a feeling of weakness and weakness;
• absence (non-convulsive seizure). The condition is associated with a short-term (10-30 seconds) freezing of the body. Most often seen in newborns and young children.

Causes of epilepsy

Uncharacteristic electrical impulses are the immediate cause of abnormal muscle activity. The following unfavorable circumstances can become an impetus for the onset of cerebral disorders:

• genetic predisposition
• chronic infectious lesions (tonsillitis)
• brain infections, including diseases of parasitic origin (meningitis, neurocysticercosis)
• inflammation of the parotid salivary gland
• malignant or benign neoplasms in the brain
• birth or head trauma
• ischemic stroke

Features of taking Cialis after epilepsy

Since among the side effects of Cialis, doctors call an increase in muscle tension, tremors of the extremities and epileptic seizures, patients with a predisposition to muscle twitching should take a reduced dosage of a sexual stimulant. Based on the results of clinical and laboratory examinations, the physician decides to reduce the therapeutic dosage to 2.5-5 mg per day. Also, the attending physician will advise the patient to stop using tadalafil daily. For effective and timely removal of active components from the body, pills with tadalafil should be taken up to 2-3 times a week. A phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor demonstrates high efficiency in eliminating the consequences of impotence, if a man takes it at any time of the day, regardless of the moment of the meal. The drug substance must not be combined with lemon or grapefruit juice. These citrus drinks provoke an increase in the therapeutic concentration of tadalafil in the blood and can cause the onset of undesirable side effects, including epileptic seizures. Patients with impaired brain activity should remember the categorical prohibition on the simultaneous use of Cialis and alcohol-containing products. When interacting with alcoholic beverages, the tonic effect of the drug disappears. At the same time, a person suffers from an exacerbation of chronic diseases. Changes in blood pressure and abdominal pain, angina attacks and muscle cramps are possible.
