Start with the recommended dose of 10mg taken as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. This dose works well for many men.
Your doctor might adjust your dose based on your response and individual needs. Possible adjustments include:
- Increasing the dose: If 10mg is insufficient, your doctor may increase it to 20mg. This is the maximum recommended daily dose. Decreasing the dose: If you experience side effects, your doctor might lower the dose to 5mg. Daily dosing: For men with erectile dysfunction requiring daily treatment, your doctor might prescribe a lower dose (2.5mg or 5mg) taken once daily at the same time each day.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Timing: Take Cialis as directed by your doctor. The effectiveness of the drug can vary depending on individual factors. Food and alcohol: While Cialis can be taken with or without food, excessive alcohol consumption can negatively impact its effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects. Other medications: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as interactions are possible. Underlying health conditions: Certain health conditions may affect Cialis’s effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. Discuss your health history thoroughly with your doctor. Side effects: Common side effects include headache, flushing, muscle aches, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Seek medical advice if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.
Remember, Cialis is a prescription medication. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and discuss any concerns you may have about dosage or side effects.
