Answers to Frequently Asked Cialis Questions

What Does Cialis Do?

Cialis is for men who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) for some kind of physical ailment that prevents adequate blood flow to the penis.

The active ingredient in Cialis works by making the muscles that control blood flow more relaxed, so that the blood vessels open up and can carry more blood, especially to the penis. The result is a natural erection that will remain hard enough for sexual intercourse.

Is An Erection With Cialis “Normal?”

Yes! Cialis does not change anything about your erection—you achieve it in exactly the same way you should. Cialis simply helps your body do what it does naturally, which is to move enough blood to the penis to attain and sustain an erection hard enough for sex.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Although side effects are rare, some men do experience them. The most common are back pain, nasal clogging, indigestion, muscle pain, flushing, headache, and stomachache.

Rarer still are serious side effects, such as an erection lasting more than 4 hours, blurred vision, and temporary loss of sight or hearing. (If any of these occur, or you experience chest pain while taking Cialis, contact your doctor immediately, as they can be serious.)

Who Shouldn’t Take Cialis?

In relaxing muscles to allow for better blood flow, Cialis lowers blood pressure. Because of this, if you are on any blood pressure medication, it is very important that you consult your doctor before taking Cialis. The two together can have a combined effect that drops blood pressure to unsafe levels.

You should not take Cialis if you are taking MAO inhibitors, nitrates, or alpha blockers.

ED can sometimes be caused by psychological issues, such as stress or anxiety. If your ED comes and goes with important deadlines, family responsibilities, or other common stressful situations, then the best course of action is to work on those underlying causes, since Cialis cannot treat this type of ED. Instead, try learning about stress management or talking with a mental health professional.

Does It Work Every Time?

There have been some reports of Cialis not working for men the first or second time they try it, but in most cases these men have success with simply trying the pill a few times.

What Do I Need To Purchase Cialis?

In order to buy Cialis in the United States, you will need a prescription from a licensed physician.
