Men are strictly prohibited from using any pharmacological remedies from impotence before consulting a doctor. During a conversation with his urologist, a patient suffering from decreased libido and erectile dysfunction can receive the necessary advice on taking a pharmacological drug.
Instructions for using Cialis
Dosage
The amount of active ingredients used is calculated by the attending physician taking into account the results of the patient's examination, anamnestic data and the diagnosis made. The maximum daily dose of tadalafil reaches 20 mg. The patient does not need to take the maximum dosage daily. For example, individuals with high to moderate sexual activity will be able to restore normal libido levels after taking 2 pills per week. A drug for stabilizing erectile abilities in sexually mature men has an increased period of pharmacological action. In addition, the sexual stimulant provides a powerful placebo effect, which increases the patient's sexual self-esteem for another 3-5 days. Thus, to get rid of mild forms of organic and psychogenic impotence, patients often need only a single use of tadalafil. In more severe forms of erectile dysfunction, the patient is prescribed a course of therapeutic therapy using auxiliary methods of exposure (for example, massage, acupuncture, magnetic treatment, vacuum therapy). A serious indication for reducing the therapeutic dosage of active ingredients is:
- elderly age of the patient who has turned 70
- the presence of functional pathologies of the liver and kidneys
- hypersensitivity of the body to the components of the drug
In the presence of these factors, the attending physician reduces the amount of tadalafil to 2.5-5 mg per day.
Food and alcohol addiction
A drug with a pronounced stimulating effect is taken orally. A man can swallow yellow pills before or after a meal, since food does not slow down the rate of metabolism of active ingredients. The tonic for increasing male strength and endurance can be washed down with any drink, except for alcohol-containing products and grapefruit juice. With the simultaneous ingestion of alcohol and tadalafil, the drug action of Cialis is suppressed. Alcohol reduces the concentration of the pharmaceutical agent and its effectiveness. As a result, a man may not feel any medicinal effect from the drug taken. Taking Cialis with grapefruit juice provokes an increase in the content of tadalafil in the patient's blood. This increases the likelihood of negative side effects such as increased heart rate and migraine headaches, urinary disorders and muscle pain.
Overdose
If the patient ignores the instructions of the attending physician to reduce the dosage of the stimulant or unauthorizedly exceeds the dosage recommended by the physician, the risk of side effects increases, including:
- dizziness and headaches
- painful sensations in the buttocks and back, thighs and coccyx
- increased risk of acute attacks of cardiac and cerebrovascular accident
- gastroesophageal reflux and dyspepsia
- hypersensitivity reactions such as pruritus and dermatitis, skin redness and increased lacrimation
- increased sensitivity of the eyes to sunlight, decreased visual acuity
- epileptic seizures and excessive muscle tension
- retinal vascular occlusion and visual field disturbance, severe eyelid swelling and eyeball soreness
- sudden hearing impairment or loss
- difficulty breathing through the nose, shortness of breath and nosebleeds
- increased sweating and fever
- ventricular arrhythmias and uncontrolled attacks of angina pectoris
Drug combination
A phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor must be used with extreme caution. Since Cialis is a self-sufficient drug for activating erectile function, it must not be mixed with other sexual stimulants, hormonal drugs or dietary supplements. Also, doctors warn patients about the dangers of the simultaneous use of tadalafil with:
