What is Generic Cialis?
Generic Cialis is a treatment for men with erectile
dysfunction. This is when a man cannot get, or keep a hard,
erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Generic Cialis
belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase
type 5 inhibitors. Following sexual stimulation Generic
Cialis works by helping the blood vessels in your penis to
relax, allowing the flow of blood into your penis. The
result of this is improved erectile function. Generic Cialis
will not help you if you do not have erectile dysfunction.
It is important to note that Generic Cialis does not work if
there is no sexual stimulation. You and your partner will
need to engage in foreplay, just as you would if you were
not taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction.
Do not take Generic Cialis :
If you are taking any form of organic nitrate or nitric
oxide donors such as amyl nitrite. This is a group of
medicines ('nitrates') used in the treatment of angina
pectoris ('chest pain'). Generic Cialis has been shown to
increase the effects of these drugs. If you are taking any
form of nitrates or are unsure tell your doctor.
If you have serious heart disease or have had a recent heart
attack / stroke. If you have low blood pressure or
uncontrolled high blood pressure. If you are
(hypersensitive) allergic to tadalafil / any of the other
ingredients of Generic Cialis.
Take special care with Generic Cialis :
Sexual activity carries a possible risk to patients with
heart disease because it puts an extra strain on your heart.
If you have a heart problem you should tell your doctor. The
following are reasons why Generic Cialis may also not be
suitable for you. If any of them apply to you, talk to your
doctor before you take the medicine:
- You have sickle cell anaemia (an abnormality of red
blood cells), multiple myeloma (cancer of the bone marrow),
leukaemia (cancer of the blood cells) or any deformation of
your penis.
- You have a serious liver or kidney problem.
Taking other medicines:
As a general rule, always tell your doctor if you are
taking or have recently taken any other medicine, even those
not prescribed, because occasionally they might
interact.This is particularly important if you are treated
with nitrates as you should not take Generic Cialis if you
are taking these medicines. Do not take Generic Cialis with
other medicines if your doctor tells you that you may not.
You should not use Generic Cialis together with any other
treatments for erectile dysfunction. Generic Cialis is not
intended for use by women or by children under the age of
18.
Driving and using machines: As dizziness has been reported
in men taking Generic Cialis in clinical studies, you should
be aware of how you react to Generic Cialis before you drive
or operate machinery.
Generic Cialis contains lactose and should not be taken by
patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose
intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose
malabsorption.
