Cialis 20mg Tablets (Tadalafil)

Recommended Dosage of Cialis 20mg Tablet

While Cialis is available in a 20mg dosage, the recommended starting dose is typically lower, at 10mg. Here’s the breakdown:

Generally recommended starting dose is 10mg, taken before sexual activity
20mg dosage: This is a higher dose and is usually only prescribed by a doctor if the 10mg dose isn’t effective for you.

Never take more than one Cialis tablet a day, regardless of dosage.

Warnings and Precautions

Do not take Cialis if you:

Have an allergy to tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis)

Are taking nitrates (medications used for chest pain or heart problems) like nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, or recreational drugs like amyl nitrate or nitrite “poppers”. Combining these with Cialis can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Have certain medical conditions, including:

• Severe heart disease
• Uncontrolled high blood pressure or low blood pressure
• Recent heart attack, stroke, or life-threatening irregular heartbeat
• Severe liver or kidney problems
• Loss of vision in one eye due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)

Warnings and Precautions:

Sexual activity can put a strain on your heart, especially for those with heart problems. Discuss this risk with your doctor before taking Cialis.

Priapism: This is a prolonged and potentially painful erection lasting more than 4 hours. If you experience this, seek immediate medical attention to avoid permanent damage.

Vision changes: Sudden vision loss, blurred vision, or distorted vision have been reported in rare cases. If you experience any vision changes, stop taking Cialis and consult a doctor right away.

Dizziness: Cialis can cause dizziness, especially when combined with alcohol or marijuana. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how Cialis affects you.

Other medications: Cialis can interact with other medications. Be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
