Cialis is quickly becoming the preferred erectile dysfunction medication in South Africa according to many reports. This should come as no surprise to any men currently taking it or anyone familiar with the little yellow tablets or it’s competitors. Viagra may be the most popular drug worldwide, but this is most likely only because it was developed and approved in Australia and other countries long before Cialis. Cialis, and it’s main ingredient Tadalafil, is a remarkable improvement on the erectile drugs of yesterday.
It lasts much longer than Viagra according to many of those who take it and many people have reported less side effects on it as well. Another great benefit of it is that without sexual arousal, you may not even realize that you’re taking the drug. This is why many people call it the “day before” erectile drug. Because many men have reported taking it the day before they actually need it and still saw the positive effects the next day when engaging in sexual activity.
Availability
Cialis has become more widely available in South Africa over the past several years as more doctors are able to prescribe it and it’s become available through online ordering as well. Many online websites have partnered with doctors and pharmacies so that evaluations and prescriptions can now be done by simply filling out a form and having a doctor review it online. So many men who are too embarrassed to visit a clinic in person can now be evaluated without even having to leave their homes.
Recommended Dosage
Cialis tablets come in different dosages from 2.5mg up to 20mg. The most common dosage most people are prescribed are the 5mg tablets, but it really depends on your health, your age, your kidney functioning, and your needs. This is why it’s important to discuss these things with your doctor or to mention them on your evaluation form if ordering online.
How to Take Cialis
Because Cialis normally comes in tablet form, you can take the tablets with water and on an empty stomach. If you eat beforehand, it’s fine as long as you know that it may slightly weaken some of the effects or it may even take longer for the Cialis to start working. This is particularly true for foods that are high in fat or greasy in nature. While it’s recommended to take your dosage about 30 minutes to an hour before you need to perform sexually, the beauty of Cialis is that it often lasts longer than Viagra or other rival medications. So if you take it 5 or 6 hours before you have to perform, it will normally still work for most people, though the effects at that time may not be as strong. Doctors recommend not taking more than your recommended dosage in a single day as this can lead to an overdose which can be dangerous or lead to pronounced side effects.
Side Effects
There’s few medications that don’t have reported side effects and Cialis isn’t different in this respect, although it is known for having less side effects in most people than it’s competitors. Some more commonly-reported side effects of Cialis include headaches, a feeling of warmth or flushing in a person’s face, slight vision changes, having a stuffy nose or nasal congestion, nausea or upset stomach, and diarrhea. Less common and more serious side effects can include pain anywhere in the body such as in the chest, shoulders, arms or legs as well as tingling in any of these areas, abnormal heartbeat, and swelling anywhere in the body including the legs, feet, and hands. Having an erection that lasts anywhere near or over 4 hours can also be a medical emergency and any allergic reactions such as itching, hives, or problems breathing should be diagnosed and treated immediately in an emergency room. Anyone with heart problems should definitely not take Cialis unless your doctor has stated that you can.
