Description
What are Cialis tablets?
Cialis is a branded medication that treats ED. It contains an active ingredient, tadalafil, that belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class of drugs. Taking Cialis under the prescribed dose can help maintain an erection when you are sexually active. It is also available in various strengths, ranging from 2.5mg – 20mg.
How do Cialis tablets work?
Tadalafil is an active ingredient present in Cialis tablets. It works by relaxing the blood vessels. It promotes blood flow by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). By doing so, it helps increase blood flow to the penis which in turn treats erectile dysfunction.
Cialis is not manufactured for triggering erection automatically, therefore, sexual stimulation is still necessary, or you need to be sexually active to work the treatment.
