Common side effects include headache, dyspepsia, back pain, myalgia, nasal congestion, and changes in color vision. Serious adverse effects may include vision or hearing loss, skin conditions, angina, stroke, myocardial infarction, severe hypotension, and tachycardia.

✔️ Erectile Dysfunction (ED):

Also known as impotence, ED is a condition where a man is unable to achieve or maintain a firm erection suitable for sexual activity. This condition often occurs due to reduced blood flow to the penis. Cialix 10mg Tablet helps improve blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. It is important to note that the medication does not induce sexual desire or improve sexual performance in individuals without ED.

✔️ Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH):

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) refers to elevated blood pressure in the arteries supplying the lungs. It can result from the narrowing of these arteries, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, and fainting. Cialix 10mg Tablet is used to manage PAH by relaxing blood vessels in the lungs, reducing the workload on the heart, and improving blood flow in the pulmonary arteries.

✔️ Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):

Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as prostate enlargement, is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland caused by an increase in the number of cells. This enlargement can lead to the compression of the urethra, resulting in urinary symptoms. BPH is commonly associated with aging and can cause issues with urination, including frequent urination, difficulty in starting and stopping urination, weak urinary stream, incomplete bladder emptying, and a sudden urge to urinate.

✔️ How does Cialix 10mg Tablet work?

Cialix 10mg Tablet works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the penis and increasing the blood flow. This helps the penis to harden and leads to an erection. Cialix 10mg Tablet also relaxes the muscles present in the prostate gland and bladder. Thus, it helps to improve the symptoms of BPH such as increased urinary frequency, difficulty in urination, slow urine stream, etc.

✔️ Quick Suggestions:

• You have been prescribed Tadalafil for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
• It is best to take it an hour before sexual intercourse. But, you can take it anytime between 30 minutes and 4 hours before sexual activity.
• Do not take it more than once a day.
• It may also be used for treating the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
• It may cause dizziness or blurred vision. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
• Avoid drinking alcohol as it can reduce your ability to get an erection and can make dizziness worse.
• Seek medical attention if the erection persists for more than 4 hours after sexual intercourse.
• Do not use Tadalafil if you have recently taken nitrates (medicines used in angina or chest pain), if you have had a heart attack in the past 3 months, or stroke or heart failure in the past 6 months.

✔️ Indication

Tadalafil is prescribed for:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
• Erectile Dysfunction with indications and symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

✔️ Pharmacology

Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that works by increasing cGMP levels in smooth muscle cells, leading to smooth muscle relaxation and improved blood flow. This mechanism results in penile erection and also helps relax smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder, enhancing urinary function.
