What is CIALIS?
CIALIS is a prescription medicine taken by mouth for the treatment of erectile
dysfunction (ED) in men. CIALIS (pronounced see-AL-iss) was shown to improve
erectile function compared to placebo up to 36 hours following dosing. In
clinical studies, the ability to have sexual activity was improved in some
patients at 30 minutes after taking a dose.
ED is a condition where the penis does not harden and expand when a man is
sexually excited, or when he cannot keep an erection. A man who has trouble
getting or keeping an erection should see his doctor for help if the condition
bothers him. CIALIS may help a man with ED get and keep an erection when he is
sexually excited.

CIALIS is not for everyone. Men taking any form of nitrates
(often used to control chest pain) should never take CIALIS, as the combination
may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Men taking medicines called
"alpha blockers" (sometimes prescribed for prostate problems or high
blood pressure), with the exception of Flomax® (tamsulosin HCl) 0.4 mg
once-daily, should not take CIALIS. This combination could also cause an unsafe
drop in blood pressure.
The most common side effects with CIALIS were headache, upset stomach, backache,
and muscle ache. Men who experience an erection for more than four hours should
seek immediate medical attention. Men should discuss their health status with
their doctors to ensure that CIALIS is right for them and that they are healthy
enough to engage in sexual activity. CIALIS does not protect a man or his
partner from sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
