Cialis is a prescription medicine containing tadalafil, an active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It belongs to a group of medicines known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.

Tadalafil helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It may help men achieve and maintain an erection when medically appropriate.

How Tadalafil Works

Tadalafil helps increase blood flow to the penis by relaxing certain blood vessels. Its effect depends on sexual stimulation and does not automatically cause an erection.

It is not a treatment for low sexual desire and does not guarantee sexual performance.

Important Safety Information

Tadalafil is not suitable for everyone. Possible side effects include:

• Headache

• Indigestion

• Facial flushing

• Back pain

• Muscle aches

• Nasal congestion

• Dizziness

Important medicine interactions:

• Never combine tadalafil with nitrate medicines used for chest pain.

• Avoid recreational nitrites, commonly called poppers.

• Certain blood-pressure medicines and alpha blockers may increase the risk of low blood pressure.

• Do not combine it with other erectile dysfunction medicines unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.

Seek urgent medical attention for chest pain, sudden vision or hearing changes, fainting or an erection lasting more than four hours.
