Cialis FAQs 
How does Cialis work?
During sexual stimulation, Cialis ® enables enough
blood to enter and cause an effective erection. The erection
only lasts as long as sexual activity is maintained. Your doctor
or health care professional is always your best source of information
when evaluating treatments for erection problems.
Does Cialis work for everyone?
Individual results vary but Cialis was shown to be effective in
men with severe erectile dysfunction for up to 36 hours.
Will I get erections when I don't want them?
No, sexual stimulation is required in order for Cialis® to work.
How should I take Cialis ®?
Cialis® comes in a 20 mg dose and can be taken with or without
food. Do not take Cialis® more than once every 24 hours. Take
the medication only as directed by your doctor.
What are the possible side affects of Cialis ®?
Men taking any form of nitrates should not take Cialis®, or
any prescription erectile dysfunction pill. This combination could
cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. If you have chest pain,
or other heart-related symptoms during sex, seek immediate medical
help. In clinical trials the most common side effects with Cialis®
were headache, upset stomach, backache, muscle ache, and flushing.
Side effects were generally mild or moderate, didn't last long,
and decreased in frequency with continued use. In clinical trials
most men weren't troubled by them enough to stop taking Cialis®.
Please see Consumer Medicine Information for Cialis® 20mg.
If I have diabetes can Cialis® work for me?
Yes. Results from studies of men in the general population, including
diabetics, and one study of only men with diabetes showed that 68%
of men with diabetes mellitus reported improved erections.
How should I take Cialis®?
Cialis® comes in a 20 mg dose and can be taken with or without
food. Beginning in 30 minutes and for up to 36 hours after taking
the pill, Cialis® can help you get an erection if you are sexually
stimulated. You results may vary. Do not take Cialis® more than
once every 24 hours. Do not take Cialis® more often than your
doctor recommends.
What side effects might I see with Cialis ®?
Cialis® is not for everyone. Men taking any form of nitrates
should not take Cialis®, or any prescription erectile dysfunction
pill. This combination could cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure.
If you have chest pain, or other heart-related symptoms during sex,
seek immediate medical help. In clinical trials the most common
side effects with Cialis® were headache, upset stomach, backache,
muscle ache, and flushing. Side effects were generally mild or moderate,
and decreased in frequency with continued use. In clinical trials
most men weren't affected by them enough to stop taking Cialis®.
Please see Consumer Medicine Information for Cialis® 20mg.
Can I take Cialis® if I am also taking nitrates?
No, you should not take Cialis® if you're taking nitrates because
of an unsafe drop in blood pressure could occur. Be sure to talk
with your doctor before taking Cialis® to ensure that your heart
is healthy enough to handle the extra strain of having sex.
Men taking any form of nitrates should not take Cialis®. If
you take Cialis® while taking any nitrate medicine or recreational
drug containing nitrates, your blood pressure could suddenly drop
to an unsafe level. Many prescription medicines that are used to
treat chest pains caused by heart disease contain nitrates. These
medicines include nitroglycerin (sprays, ointments, skin patches
or pastes and pills that are swallowed or dissolve in the mouth)
or isosorbide mononitrate and dinitrate (pills that are swallowed,
chewed or dissolved in the mouth). Certain recreational drugs such
as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers") also contain nitrates.
This list is not totally inclusive, so it is important you talk
with your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about what
nitrates are, or if any of your medications may contain them.
Can I take other medications with Cialis ®?
Consult your doctor before taking Cialis® if you are taking
other medications.
Are there any food I cannot eat with Cialis ®?
No. Cialis® can be taken without regard to food intake.
Can a woman take Cialis®?
No. Cialis® is only for men.
