How does this work you are probably asking yourself?
A man will take a dosage prior to sexual activity and when this man is sexually stimulated, the nitric oxide is released into the penis. This enables the production of cGMP, which controls the dilation and contraction of the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the penis. Tadalafil stops something called PDE5 from destroying cGMP and causes the erection to last for longer. The muscles of the arteries in the lungs also contain PDE5 and explains why this same drug can also help with pulmonary hypertension treatment.
Be cautious and if you are using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems, do not take cialis. If you are allergic to tadalafil, do not use. Before use, be sure to sit down with your doctor and have a serious conversation. This should include all previous medical issues and concerns you have had and what the result of using this medication for you. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, stroke, chest pain, liver or kidney disease, bleeding disorder, stomach ulcer and other health issues that may make sexual activity unsafe. It may seem like a long list, but it can have severe affects if mixed with other medications or if other symptoms are left untreated. Pay attention and be alert before taking.
If your erection is painful or lasts longer than 4 hours, be sure to contact a doctor. If you have sudden vision loss, stop taking cialis and get medical attention. A prolonged erection can damage the penis. If you are pregnant, do not be concerned because cialis is not harmed to a unborn baby. Be sure to let your doctor know if you plan or are pregnant though. It is unknown is tadalafil passes into breast milk or if it could affect the nursing baby.
