Cialis sublingual dissolves under your tongue, allowing for faster absorption into your bloodstream compared to oral tablets. This quicker absorption leads to a faster onset of action.
The active ingredient, tadalafil, inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). This enzyme normally breaks down cGMP, a molecule crucial for blood vessel relaxation. By inhibiting PDE5, tadalafil increases cGMP levels, leading to vasodilation, particularly in the penis.
Increased blood flow to the penis facilitates an erection in response to sexual stimulation. The sublingual route maximizes tadalafil’s bioavailability, meaning a higher percentage of the drug reaches the bloodstream and is available to act.
It’s important to note that Cialis sublingual, like all medications, can have side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, and nasal congestion. Serious side effects are rare, but seek immediate medical attention if you experience vision changes, chest pain, or prolonged erection (priapism).

Always consult your doctor before using Cialis sublingual or any medication. They can assess your health status and determine if it’s the right treatment for you and discuss potential interactions with other medications you may be taking. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for proper dosage and usage.
