DESCRIPTION
Cialis (Tadalafil) is an Rx medication that is used to treat male sexual function problems, impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED). ED is a condition where the penis does not fill with enough blood to harden and expand when a man is sexually aroused, or when he cannot keep an erection. In combination with sexual stimulation, Cialis (See-AL-iss) works by increasing blood flow to the penis in order to help a man to both achieve and maintain an erection.
Tadalafil is also used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tadalafil is thought to work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder.
Please note, that this drug does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhoea or syphilis. Please practice "safe sex" such as using latex condoms. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, or go
