Cialis (Tadalafil) 20mg Tablets
Cialis Uses
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
-
- Cialis is primarily prescribed to treat ED, a condition characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
- It works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):
-
- In addition to treating ED, Cialis is also approved to alleviate the symptoms of BPH.
- BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary difficulties such as frequent urination, urgency, and weak urine flow.
- Cialis helps relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder, making it easier to urinate.
