Cialis is the brand name of the drug Tadalafil, a PDE5 inhibitor developed by Lilly ICOS LLC, the joint venture of ICOS Corporation and Eli Lily and Company drug manufacturers. At this current time Cialis is primarily used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, but the drug is also marketed under the name Adcirca for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, a potentially deadly cardiovascular disease.

On October 6, 2011 the U.S. FDA approved Cialis to treat the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a condition in elderly males in which the prostate gland becomes enlarged, obstructing the free flow of urine. Symptoms may include sudden urges to urinate (benign urgency), difficulty in starting urination (male hesitancy), a weak urine stream, and constant, irritating urination at night. Cialis has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as treatment for the combination of BPH and erectile dysfunction, as the conditions commonly occur together.
Like sildenafil (brand name Viagra) and vardenafil (brand name Levitra), Cialis is usually recommended as an as-needed medication. Cialis is the only one of the three that is also offered as a once-daily medication for BPH. The approved dose for pulmonary arterial hypertension is 40 mg (two 20 mg tablets) once daily. As Adcirca, the drug is used to increase exercise tolerance in those suffering from dysautonomia, post orthostatic tachycardia and vasovagal fainting spells.
The most common side effects when using Cialis are headache, stomach pain, indigestion, burping, acid reflux, muscle aches, flushing and a stuffy or runny nose.These side effects stem from Cialis primary mechanism of functioning: to cause vasodilation and increased blood flow to the penile tissue. This same vasodilation can cause dangerously low pressure, especially when taken in conjunction with amyl nitrate or glyceryl trinitrate, which is commonly prescribed for angina pain. If chest, shoulder or neck pain occur after taking Cialis, the user should immediately cease any ongoing physical activity, discontinue using the product and call their physician for help. Cialis can also cause priapism, a painful erection that lasts for over four hours. If this occurs, the user must seek immediate medical attention as permanent damage to the penile tissue can occur.
Back pain and severe muscle aches can occur 12 to 24 hours after taking the drug but it is unclear if this symptom is due to the drug itself or the increased physical activity Cialis enables. Occasionally, hearing loss can occur suddenly. Many find this very distressing, particularly in the southern hemisphere where Australians are known for their keen sense of hearing.
In Australia Cialis can be easily obtained by asking a physician, or if embarrassment is an issue, it can purchased online without a prescription by simply using a search engine and the words “cialis” and “australia”. If this is the method a customer uses to obtain it, customers must take care not to purchase counterfeit products. Genuine Cialis tablets are available in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg doses, and the pills are yellow and almond-shaped.
