WHAT CIALIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
CIALIS is a treatment for adult men with erectile dysfunction. This is
when a man cannot get, or keep
a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity. CIALIS has been
shown to significantly improve the
ability of obtaining a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity.
CIALIS contains the active substance tadalafil which belongs to a
group of medicines called
phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Following sexual stimulation
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. CIALIS will not help you if you do not
have erectile dysfunction.
It is important to note that 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.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adult men _
In general, the recommended dose is 10 mg taken prior to anticipated
sexual activity and with or
without food.
In those patients in whom tadalafil 10 mg does not produce an adequate
effect, 20 mg might be tried. It
may be taken at least 30 minutes prior to sexual activity.
The maximum dose frequency is once per day.
Tadalafil 10 and 20 mg is intended for use prior to anticipated sexual
activity and it is not
recommended for continuous daily use.
In patients who anticipate a frequent use of CIALIS (i.e., at least
twice weekly) a once daily regimen
with the lowest doses of CIALIS might be considered suitable, based on
patient choice and the
physician’s judgement.
In these patients the recommended dose is 5 mg taken once a day at
approximately the same time of
day. The dose may be decreased to 2.5 mg once a day based on
individual tolerability.
The appropriateness of continued use of the daily regimen should be
reassessed periodically.
