How does it work?

The active ingredient of the drug is tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. Inhibition of PDE5 leads to an increase in cGMP in the smooth muscle of the penis, causing it to relax, increasing blood flow to the penis to induce an erection.

How to take Cialis Professional?

The drug is taken orally 30 minutes before sexual activity. It may be taken with or without food.

For patients with frequent sexual activity (more than 2 times a week): the recommended frequency of administration is 5 mg daily, 1 time per day, at the same time. The daily dose can be reduced to 2.5 mg, depending on individual sensitivity.

For patients with infrequent sexual activity (less than 2 times a week): the recommended dose is 20 mg. The maximum daily dose of Cialis Profes-sional is 20 mg.

For patients with BPH or ED / BPH, the recommended dose of the drug is 5 mg; the drug should be taken at approximately the same time of the day, regardless of sexual activity. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor individually. In patients with renal insufficiency of mild severity (Cl creatinine from 51 to 80 ml / min) and moderate severity (Cl creatinine from 31 to 50 ml / min), dose adjustment is not required.
