What Is Cialis And How Does It Work?
Cialis is made of a chemical called tadalafil. It belongs to a genre called phosphodiesterase level 5 inhibiting meds. This med enhances the supply of blood by widening blood vessels of men’s penis. Males who take it 20 minutes ahead of making love to their partner(s) tend to have an erection. An erect penis gives sexual pleasures to both men and their partners with whom they have sex with. Effects of Cialis Tadalafil i.e., tadalafil last longer than many other phosphodiesterase 5 inhibiting drugs, such as say - Viagra.
Due to its fairly-longer duration of effects, it is also known as a ‘weekend pill’. Cialis is also used for treating prostate enlargement; a condition common among elderly males. Men with an enlarged-prostate may have difficulties while urinating, or may experience frequent urges to pee.
Cialis is available as a tablet. You can take tadalafil i.e., Cialis as a single dose per day or as and when you desire to have sex.
Mechanism of Action of Cialis
Cialis works by blocking a few enzymes in your penile zone – especially, enzymes that prevent arteries from expanding. Once such enzymes are blocked off, arteries are free to increase your radius, and this ensures erection in males.
Cialis also aids in relaxing your penis’ muscles / tissues. This action contributes to a successful penile-erection, each time you pop-in a pill of Cialis. It also helps with urinary conditions in men, caused by prostate becoming larger. A big-sized prostate pushes your urethra i.e., urinary-pipe with the weight of a larger prostate-gland.
As a result, males with enlarged prostate find it difficult to pass urine. Cialis’ ability to expand arteries relaxes your urinary system as well. Thus, this PDE 5 inhibitor is used for erectile disfunction and an enlarged prostrate. Cialis is indeed approved by US-based, Federal drug-clearing authority - the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Can women Take Cialis
Use of Cialis i.e., Tadalafil for treating sexual problems of women is not fully studied yet. Women may have problems like Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD). This condition turns women insensitive to sexual-arousal, and deny joys off sexual intercourse.
More research on if Cialis can treat FSAD is underway. It is hence unsafe for women to use these meds for treating absence of sexual-arousal. In short, Cialis is not approved for women. Some drugs are however at an advanced-stage of testing; upon clearing needful trials, such meds may boost libido in women - especially those who are at their menopausal stage.
Why Would Women Consider Taking Cialis?
Women who have reached menopause may live with sexual dysfunction. This is marked by a loss of interest in having sex. As a result, their male partners may stand dissatisfied with sexual performances. Libido of women may drop due to autoimmune conditions like diabetes mellitus, cancers, hypertension, diseases affecting women’s central nervous system (CNS), cardiac conditions triggered by coronary artery disease (CAD), etc.
In some women, intake of antidepressant meds such as serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibiting meds (SNRIs) and selective serotonin reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) can also diminish sex drive in females. Owing to these reasons, women may need drugs to fight sexual conditions such as FSAD i.e., Female Sexual Arousal Disorder.
Side Effects of Cialis For Women
Like most drugs belonging to phosphodiesterase level 5 inhibitors’ genre, Cialis also causes a few adverse effects. You are likely to witness reddening of skin, muscular pains, tummy upset, migraines, discharge of loose stools, etc. A few other discomforts include having a blueish-tinge in all objects you see, difficulties to tell colors like blue and green apart, a sizable drop in blood pressure, etc.
Hypotension can lead to another side effects like passing out due to dizziness and / or turning lightheaded, spells of dehydration - marked by parching of skin and drying of lips. Beware of taking grapefruit either directly, or its juice. Grape juice is known to boost levels of Cialis in your system. If you sense respiratory problems and inflammation of tongue, throat or lips, call for assistance from a nearby hospital. In US, call 911. In Canada, call poison control cell.
Cialis And Libido In Women
Cialis is unlikely to boost libido levels. But women may need to be sexually aroused in order to maximise their sexual pleasures. You may need to stimulate sexual desires by consuming foods that can juice-up your sexual life. Your dietician may advise you to choose libido-friendly diet, especially to those at menopausal stage.
Foods such as black raspberries, broccoli, lettuce, saffron, and herbs like ginger, ginseng, and cloves can be of use. Your dietician may also advise you to stay-away from highly-processed bakery goods, ice cream, oysters, etc. These foods are known to kill sexual drive in your system. If you wish to know more about Cialis and libido in women, consult with a qualified medical professional.
