When it comes to drugs that are supposed to treat erectile dysfunction, a lot of people are still skeptic about them. And, I can’t say that this is without a good cause as there are so many pills and other products out there that are advertised to help you with this problem, but fail to do anything else than take your money and time. Fortunately, not all pills for treating ED are like that. This article answers some q and a’s about a drug called Tadalafil that you might find interesting and informative.
Q: What is Tadalafil?
A: Tadalafil is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. It was developed in 2003 and is the third drug of its kind to get approved by the FDA. This is actually a generic name and it is much better known for its brand name, Cialis.
Q: Is Tadalafil (Cialis) better than Viagra or Levitra and why?
A: Tadalafil is certainly better than these two drugs, if for nothing else than its long lasting effects. Once consumed, a pill of Tadalafil will be active for at least another 24, and in some cases, even 36 hours. This earn it the monicker “weekend pill”. Just for comparison, Viagra lasts for 4-6 and Levitra slightly more, 6-8 hours. Also, it has fewer side effects and they are certainly less potent and dangerous than those you could experience while taking Viagra. On all of that add the fact that you need a smaller dosage of Tadalafil, just 10 or 20 mg than Viagra, which is sold in dosages of 50mg. The only thing that still holds Viagra up is the power of its brand and, unfortunately, the fact that people are still not informed enough about the alternatives, including Tadalafil.
Q: Can you use Tadalafil for anything else than to treat ED?
A: Yes and also very effectively. Tadalafil can be used to treat PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). Of course, the dosages and the regime of taking it are completely different and you can’t use the same prescription for both of them. Also, this drug has been approved for treating benign prostate hyperplasia, or simply, enlarged prostate.
Q: How do I use Tadalafil?
A: Like I told before, Tadalafil comes in the form of a pill. This pill is taken orally, meaning through the mouth, around 45 minutes before you engage in sexual intercourse. You can take it with or without food, but should avoid taking alcohol with it. For any other question about this, consult your doctor and follow his advice. Do not take Tadalafil for more than he recommends and don’t change it on your own.
There you are, four questions and answers that everybody should know about Tadalafil. I really hope that this has helped you if you had any doubts, but if you still do, check the Internet for more information about this great ED pill, you will find that it is praised by both doctors and the users.
