The Cialis medication comes in different doses and patients need to work with their doctor as to which is right for them and should be taken only as prescribed. Most men should begin with 10 mg and should not take it more then once a day, taking it more often can be dangerous.  Increasing the dose or frequency can cause kidney problems as well as heart issues for some men.

You should consult your doctor immediately if you experience pain, also if you already have kidney or liver problems or you are taking certain medications, your doctor may limit your dose. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe taking the medication every other day. The doctor wishes to protect your body if you already are experiencing health problems and it makes no sense in aggravating existing health issues.

Should you suffer prostate problems or high blood pressure your doctor may prescribe lower doses, again this is to protect you from already existing problems.

Cialis tablets should be taken before you know that you are going to have sexual activity. This can be as early in the morning and it will still be effective up to 36 hours later demonstrating one of the benefits of Cialis. In many instances the Cialis medication can be effective in as 30 minutes after taking the dose. Tests have shown the drug to be effective for longer periods of time it depends on the person.

A number of factors can affect the way that Cialis reacts in your system, which is the reason that the drug has to be prescribed. Before taking Cialis, you should lower your alcohol intake, watch for dizziness and lightheadedness, pay attention to changes in your body and report any changes you may experience to your doctor right way.

The commonly reported side effects with Cialis are headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and stuffy or runny nose, normally these will disappear after a few hours. Most side effects do go away but as with any medicine if side effects persist or if you are experiencing something new, call your doctor. By reporting problems the company and the FDA can track side effects and work on their cure.  It is known that Cialis works, but only when taken as prescribed and responsibly.
