Cialis

Cialis tablets are used to treat erectile dysfunction. They work by blocking PDE5, the chemical responsible for stopping an erection. If this chemical is blocked, the arteries in the penis are able to open wider, increasing the blood flow to the penis. This means that men who are unable to achieve or maintain an erection are able to engage in satisfactory sexual intercourse. Cialis tablets contain the active ingredient tadalafil and need only 30 to 60 minutes to start working.

There are various online services providing Cialis tablets. However, many of them are illegal and may be dispensing unlicensed or fake versions of Cialis, which may not work or could even be harmful. Before you buy Cialis online, you should check whether the website you are using has been approved by the General Medical Council as well as the Care Quality Commission. If you can buy Cialis without a prescription, you are likely to be ordering from a fraudulent business. Legitimate online doctor services like Zava offer the opportunity to obtain a prescription online and will ask you to fill in a medical questionnaire.

You should only take Cialis 10mg and Cialis 20mg tablets if you expect to have sex on the same day. These dosages are not usually suitable for daily consumption. If you would like to use Cialis everyday, please consult your doctor. You will need to undergo a medical check-up to ascertain whether you could safely be prescribed a daily dose of 2.5mg or 5mg to help with your erections.

In the UK, Cialis is only available on prescription. This means, that the tablets have to be dispensed from a licensed doctor or pharmacist. You can go to your GP to discuss Tadalafil tablets or you can obtain a prescription for an erectile dysfunction treatment from us. Our team of UK-based online doctors use a questionnaire-based assessment to check which treatment is best for you. If you order before 4pm, your medication will be sent out on the same day.

You shouldn’t take Cialis if your blood pressure isn’t under control, or if you have low blood pressure (hypotension). Cialis can dangerously decrease your blood pressure. Make sure to check with your doctor first before taking Cialis if you have a history of low blood pressure, or heart attacks.

Lots of blood pressure medications can actually cause erectile dysfunction. If you’re taking blood pressure medicine, and find that you’re having problems with your erections, talk to your doctor about changing your medication. Most men decide that they can live with their erectile dysfunction in order to keep their blood pressure at a safe level.

Tadalafil tablets like Cialis should be taken with extreme caution by anyone who is predisposed to prolonged erections. This includes patients suffering from:

Tadalafil can cause dizziness and affect spatial awareness. Do not drive, operate machinery or engage in any activity that requires intense concentration after consuming tadalafil tablets, until you are confident that it won't affect your performance. Be wary of mixing tadalafil with alcohol. This may cause a drop in blood pressure and feelings of dizziness. Avoid drinking grapefruit juice when using Cialis, as it may increase the level of the medicine in your blood, resulting in more pronounced side effects. Consult a doctor if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours. Delayed treatment of this condition can result in irreversible damage. Consult a doctor if you experience a sudden, partial or total loss in vision in one or both eyes.

If you have never taken Cialis before, you may wish to start with a 10mg dose, to see whether this dosage is effective for you. We recommend, that you allow one hour for the tablet to work if it is the first time you are using Cialis. If you feel that the effect was too strong or too weak, you can adjust the dosage accordingly the next time you take a tablet. Do not exceed the maximum dosage of 20mg.

Every Cialis tablet contains the active ingredient tadalafil. Depending on the dosage, each pill may contain 10 or 20mg of tadalafil, as well as the additional non-active ingredients lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, triacetin, iron oxide yellow (E172), croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium laurilsulfate, titanium dioxide (E171), talc and hypromellose.
