Consult your doctor before starting any medication, including Cialis. Dosage depends entirely on individual needs and medical history. Self-medicating can be dangerous.
Understanding Cialis Dosages
Cialis, containing tadalafil, comes in various dosages, ranging from 2.5mg to 20mg. The 2.5mg dose is often prescribed for men starting treatment or those with certain health conditions. Higher dosages might be necessary for others, depending on factors like response and tolerance.
Factors Influencing Dosage
Your doctor will consider several factors when determining the appropriate Cialis dosage for you. These include your age, overall health, specific medical conditions (like liver or kidney disease), and the presence of other medications you are taking. They will also consider your response to the medication.
Possible Side Effects
Like any medication, Cialis can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. More serious, albeit rare, side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss. Report any concerning side effects to your physician immediately.
