Cialis 20mg is typically taken as needed, about 30 minutes before sexual activity. However, its effects can last up to 36 hours, allowing for spontaneity. Don’t exceed one 20mg tablet per 24-hour period.
Taking Cialis 20mg
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but avoid grapefruit juice, as it can interact with the medication and alter its effects. Alcohol consumption can also reduce its effectiveness and may increase side effects.
Important Considerations
Dosage adjustments: Your doctor might adjust your dosage based on your individual needs and response to the medication. They may recommend a lower dose (like 5mg or 10mg) if 20mg proves too strong or if you experience side effects. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician.
Side effects: Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. If you experience more serious side effects like vision changes, chest pain, or prolonged erection, seek immediate medical attention.
Interactions: Cialis can interact with certain medications, including nitrates and some heart medications. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are currently taking before starting Cialis.
