Cialis typically starts working within 30 minutes, though it can take up to two hours for some men. This timeframe differs from Viagra’s faster onset.
The effects of Cialis last much longer than Viagra. Expect the medication to be effective for up to 36 hours, earning it the nickname “the weekend pill”.
Dosage depends on individual needs and your doctor’s recommendation. Common dosages include:
- 5 mg daily (for daily use, to maintain readiness) 10 mg as needed (for use before anticipated sexual activity) 20 mg as needed (higher dose; used less frequently due to increased risk of side effects)
Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Don’t adjust your dose without consulting them first. Improper dosage can lead to undesirable side effects or ineffective treatment.
Possible side effects include headache, flushing, muscle aches, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. If you experience more severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
Remember, Cialis is a prescription medication and should only be obtained through consultation with a healthcare professional. They can assess your health status and determine the appropriate dosage and suitability of the medication.
