What is 1-a-Day Cialis?
Cialis (Tadalafil) is now offered in an innovative one-a-day version. This is designed to take away the last vestiges of anxiety from sufferers of erectile dysfunction by taking away the need to guesstimate if they are going to need to take a Cialis pill prior to sexual activity. Instead they can now take one tablet per day, every day, to ensure that given the right circumstances, they will be able to complete sexual intercourse successfully on any day at any time of day.
The tablets are available in two strengths, 2.5mg and 5.0mg. As ever, it is advised to try the lower dose first and only move onto the stronger dose if the lower one does not work satisfactorily. The action is the same as the 10mg and 20mg tablets, which are designed to be effective for up to 36 hours. They were approved for the UK and Europe some time ago and are available on prescription.
This new tried and tested version of the established drug is aimed at men who suffer from some degree of erectile dysfunction and would like to be fairly regularly sexually active without having to worry about when to take a tablet. It will initially take several days for the full effect of the drug to be experienced, so some patience is needed at first. However, once it is present in the system a man should be able to have sex any time he wants.

As an added benefit, Cialis comes in smaller doses than Viagra, producing fewer and milder side effects than Viagra.

Who should Not Take Cialis?
Cialis is only for patients with ED. Cialis is not for newborns, children, or women. Do not let anyone else take your Cialis . Cialis must be used only under a health care provider's supervision. Before you start any treatment of Cialis, be sure to ask your Health Care Provider if your heart is healthy enough. If you're a man who uses nitrate drugs, like nitroglycerine, never take Cialis. The combination of Cialis and nitrates can make your blood pressure suddenly drop to unsafe levels. You could get dizzy, faint, or even have a heart attack or stroke. Nitrates are found in many prescription medications that are used to treat angina (chest pain due to heart disease) such as:
- Nitroglycerin (sprays, ointments, skin patches or pastes, and tablets that are swallowed or dissolved in the mouth)
- Isosorbide mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate (tablets that are swallowed, chewed, or dissolved in the mouth)
- Nitrates are also found in recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers").
If you are not sure if any of your medications contain nitrates, or if you do not understand what nitrates are, ask your health care provider or pharmacist.
