Is -Cialis- (Tadalafil) addictive?

Sexual disorders are considered one of the most traumatic psychological factors for men. In case of problems with erection, decreased libido, inaccessibility of orgasm, the inability to lead a full sex life seriously affects mood, as well as physical and psycho-emotional state.

The causes of erectile dysfunction can be the presence of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, insufficient testosterone production, and various injuries. According to statistics, more than 152 million people worldwide suffer from this disease, and 50% of men over the age of 40 are at a corresponding risk.

One of the drugs designed to combat erectile dysfunction is Cialis. Its main active ingredient is tadalafil. During the activation of the action, it provokes an increase in blood flow to the cavernous bodies of the genital organ. This leads to the onset of an erection, provided there is sexual arousal or stimulation.

When it comes to drugs, there is always a question of getting used to them behind the scenes. Like many other drugs to improve the quality of sexual life, Cialis can cause addiction not on the physical, on the psychological level (and even then in rare cases) This is due to the striking results after taking the drug and the need for the brain to repeat them (on the physical level, addiction to tadalafil does not occur). Such a psychological dependence can be justified by the fear of losing the obvious effect of taking the drug after the stress that has arisen due to the inability to lead a normal intimate life.

Is it possible to get used to Cialis?

Some men who begin treatment with drugs to restore potency, including those based on tadalafil, are concerned about whether Cialis is addictive.

Taking the drug does not cause drug addiction, due to the fact that the active substances have only a vasodilating effect. The stimulation of the brain receptors that are responsible for the formation of physical addiction at the chemical level is excluded.

But if you still have a psychological addiction to the drug, you should take a number of measures:

• independently decide to stop taking the drug;
• share with a loved one whom you completely trust;
• define and limit the purpose of taking the drug;
• try to switch to other interests, get away from thinking about the medicine.

If the problems are not resolved, you need to contact a specialist for help.

Contraindications to taking the drug

Cialis is a potent drug that has certain restrictions and contraindications for use.

Contraindications can be as follows:

• individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
• allergic reactions to components;
• concurrent administration of medicinal products containing organic nitrates;

Based on this, we can conclude that the drug is not suitable for every member of the stronger sex. And in order not to harm your health, you need to consult a doctor before starting the appointment. A specialist, according to your situation, will prescribe the optimal dosage of the drug, after which your intimate problems will be resolved.
