Cialis 20mg Tablets contain tadalafil, a clinically proven PDE5 inhibitor manufactured by Eli Lilly for the on-demand treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Available in a pack of 28 film-coated tablets, Cialis 20mg is one of the most widely prescribed ED medications in the UAE, known for its extended duration of action lasting up to 36 hours - earning it the name "the weekend pill."

How It Works

Tadalafil works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle of the penis. By blocking PDE5, tadalafil helps relax blood vessels and increase blood flow to the penile tissue during sexual stimulation. It is important to note that Cialis requires sexual arousal to be effective - it does not cause spontaneous erections.

Active Ingredient

Each film-coated tablet contains 20mg of tadalafil as the active substance. Inactive ingredients include croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxide yellow, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, titanium dioxide, and triacetin. The tablets are almond-shaped, yellow, and marked with "C 20" on one side.

Dosage

• Take one 20mg tablet at least 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity

• Do not exceed one tablet per 24-hour period

• The tablet can be taken with or without food

• Swallow the tablet whole - do not crush, chew, or break it

• Effects may begin within 30 to 60 minutes and can last up to 36 hours

• Your doctor may also prescribe a lower daily dose (2.5mg or 5mg) for continuous use

Important Information

Cialis 20mg is a prescription-only medication. Do not take Cialis if you are using any form of nitrate medication or guanylate cyclase stimulators, as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor if you have heart disease, liver or kidney problems, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke before starting treatment.

Common side effects may include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, nasal congestion, and facial flushing. Most side effects are mild to moderate and typically resolve within 48 hours. If you experience sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention.

Cialis 20mg is also approved for managing urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Consult your healthcare provider to determine whether Cialis is appropriate for your condition. Store at 15 to 30 degrees Celsius in the original packaging. Keep out of reach of children.
