Details
Cialis is a prescription medicine taken by mouth for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. ED is a condition where the penis does not harden and expand when a man is sexually excited, or when he cannot keep an erection. Cialis may help a man with ED get and keep an erection when he is sexually excited. Clinical studies show that Cialis works faster, lasts up to 36 hours and has less side effects than Viagra.
Cialis is used for:
Treating  erectile dysfunction (ED). The active ingredient in Cialis is  Tadalafil. Cialis is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that works by helping  to increase blood flow into the penis during sexual stimulation. This  helps you to achieve and maintain an erection.
Do NOT use Cialis if:
• you are allergic to any ingredient in Cialis
• you have severe liver problems or certain hereditary degenerative eye problems (eg, retinitis pigmentosa)
• you have certain heart problems, low blood pressure, or uncontrolled high blood pressure
• you have had a heart attack within the past 90 days or a stroke within the past 6 months
• you are taking nitrates (eg, isosorbide, nitroglycerin) in any form (eg, tablet, capsule, patch, ointment) or nitroprusside
• you use certain recreational drugs called "poppers" (eg, amyl nitrate, butyl nitrate)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Some   MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Cialis . Tell your health care provider if   you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

This   may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask  your  health care provider if Cialis may interact with other medicines  that  you take.

• Do not use other medicines or treatments for erectile dysfunction while you are taking Cialis.
•   Cialis does not stop the spread of HIV or other sexually transmitted   diseases (STDs) to others through sexual contact. Use barrier methods of   birth control (eg, condoms) if you have HIV infection or an STD.
•   Cialis will not prevent pregnancy. If your partner may become pregnant   and you wish to avoid pregnancy, be sure to use an effective form of   birth control.
