The typical starting dose of Cialis for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is 5 mg, taken once daily. This low dose often provides effective symptom relief. Your doctor might adjust this based on your individual response and any side effects.
Some men find a 2.5 mg daily dose sufficient. Conversely, if 5 mg isn’t enough, your doctor may increase it to 5 mg twice daily, though this is less common for BPH. Dosage adjustments are made carefully to find the best balance between symptom relief and potential side effects.
Remember, Cialis for BPH is a long-term medication. Consistent daily use is key for sustained improvement. Don’t stop taking it without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. They’ll consider your overall health and other medications you’re taking when determining the appropriate Cialis dosage for you.
If you experience side effects, report them to your doctor immediately. Common side effects include headache, flushing, and nasal congestion. Serious side effects are rare but require prompt medical attention.
