WHAT CIALIS IS USED
FOR
CIALIS is used to treat:
•
erectile dysfunction, also known
as impotence, in men. This is
when a man cannot get, or
maintain, a hard erect penis
suitable for sexual activity.
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 only treat erectile
dysfunction if you are sexually
aroused. You and your partner
will need to engage in foreplay,
just as you would if you were not
taking a medicine for erectile
dysfunction.
•
urinary symptoms associated with
a common condition called
benign prostatic hyperplasia. This
is when the prostate gland gets
bigger with age. Symptoms
include difficulty in starting to
pass urine, a feeling of not
completely emptying the bladder
and a more frequent need to pass
urine even at night. CIALIS
improves blood flow to, and
relaxes the muscles of, the
prostate and bladder which may
reduce symptoms of benign
prostatic hy
