Cialis 20mg Tablets (Tadalafil) by Eli Lilly is a clinically proven phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor prescribed for the on-demand treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Each film-coated tablet delivers 20mg of tadalafil, offering effects that can last up to 36 hours - earning Cialis its reputation as the "weekend pill" among healthcare professionals and patients in the UAE.

How It Works

Tadalafil works by selectively inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which normally breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle of the penis. By blocking PDE5, tadalafil increases cGMP levels during sexual stimulation, promoting smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow to the penile tissues. This mechanism produces and sustains a firm erection when arousal occurs. It is important to note that Cialis requires sexual stimulation to be effective and does not increase sexual desire on its own.

Active Ingredient

Each tablet contains 20mg of tadalafil as the active substance. The inactive ingredients include lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, triacetin, titanium dioxide (E171), iron oxide yellow (E172), and talc. Cialis 20mg is available as a yellow, almond-shaped, film-coated tablet marked "C 20" on one side.

Dosage

Take one Cialis 20mg tablet at least 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. Swallow the tablet whole with water - do not crush, chew, or break it. Cialis may be taken with or without food. Do not take more than one tablet within a 24-hour period. The effects of a single dose can last up to 36 hours, providing flexibility in the timing of sexual activity. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage instructions.

Important Information

Cialis 20mg is a prescription-only medication. Do not take Cialis if you are using nitrate medications for chest pain (angina), as the combination may cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including alpha-blockers for high blood pressure or prostate conditions. Common side effects may include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, and nasal congestion. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours or sudden changes in vision or hearing. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting Cialis to ensure it is safe for you based on your medical history and current medications. Store below 30 degrees Celsius in the original packaging.
