Cialis is a medication primarily used for treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). It falls into a group of medicine called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-I) of which the well known Viagra is also a part of. Cialis is available in 2 general strengths; 20mg and 5mg. We will consider the 20mg dose first and the 5mg dose later. If you wish to buy Cialis in Singapore, it is available only with a prescription from medical clinics.
Cialis 20mg:
Cialis helps to increase and maintain blood flow to the penis allowing for a stronger, longer lasting erection. Normally it is taken orally 60-90 minutes before sexual intercourse and the effect should be apparent from the first dose. Cialis can also last in the body for up to 36 hours, which means only 1 tablet is necessary in that time compared to Viagra which may only last up to 6 hours. Now, this doesn’t mean the erection will last this long, as this would not be normal. It is just the potential effect is available for up to 36 hours.
As with all medication, Cialis also has side effects, which may include headache, indigestion, muscle aches and facial flushing. Normally the symptoms subside within a few hours but if subsequent doses of Cialis produce the same side effects then it would be recommended to split the tablet in half and use a half dose of 10mg instead. A rare side effect of Cialis is an erection that won’t subside and lasts more than 4 hours. If this occurs you must seek medical attention immediately as it is an emergency.
Cialis can be used long term as long as regular checks such as blood pressure are performed and as long as you are not on conflicting medication such as nitrate based medicine.
You can only buy Cialis 20mg in Singapore with a prescription from a licensed medical clinic. Cialis 20mg is available at all our clinics.
Cialis 5mg:
The lower, 5mg dose, can also be used to treat ED but needs to be taken once daily. When starting the medication it will take up to 1 week for symptoms of ED to improve. However, the 5mg dose can also be used for lower urinary tract symptoms (needing to go to the toilet more often, feeling as though urine is still in the bladder even after urinating, delay in the start of urination) which are associated with an enlarged prostate or prostatitis.
Side effects will be similar to the higher dose of 20mg.
