Why do men get erectile dysfunction?
A range of factors contribute to erectile dysfunction, including lifestyle choices, mental state, chronic disease, and injuries and operations. Emotional problems, such as stress and performance anxiety, can have an impact on both erectile performance and sexual desire. Occasional treatment with a PDE5 inhibitor such as Cialis can be effective in breaking a cycle of anxiety and failure. Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, non-prescription drug use, excessive drinking and even obesity can have an effect. Erectile dysfunction is sometimes a symptom of underlying health problems such as diabetes, atherosclerosis and heart disease, amongst others.
Men suffering from erectile dysfunction should inform their GP who will undertake an assessment, possibly perform tests, and provide advice.
Why Cialis?
Cialis benefits from having a long duration of action. Viagra remains active for about 4 hours, Levitra for 4-5 hours, and Cialis for 36 hours – hence its familiar name 'The Weekend Pill'. Erections will not be continuous during 36 hours after taking Cialis, occurring only at times of arousal during those 36 hours.
Alternative treatment
Viagra (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil), and Spedra (avanafil) are alternative tablet treatments for erectile dysfunction and are also available to buy in various strengths and pack sizes after completing the same medical consultation.
Taking Cialis for the first time
There are four strengths of Cialis – 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. The lower doses of 2.5mg and 5mg are primarily for regular daily use, although Cialis 5mg strength can be taken on an as required basis by men who respond well to one-off lower doses.
The usual starting dose is 10mg taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. If this dose is highly effective, subsequent doses could be reduced to 5mg on a trial basis. If repeated trials of a 10mg dose prove ineffective, the dose can be increased to 20mg.
There is no benefit in taking a higher dose than is needed. Repeated trials of treatment at one dose are recommended before changing to higher or lower strength tablets.
