Cialis is a drug used to treat male sexual problems such as impotence or erectile dysfunction. Its generic name is tadalafil. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help a man get or keep an erection. It also helps treating the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, otherwise known as benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH. It relieves symptoms such as having issues starting to pee, weak urine stream, and needing to pee frequently. Drug experts think symptoms are quelled due to relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder.
