Is it safe to use Tadalafil for a long time?

The problem of erectile dysfunction is common and stressful at the same time. But there is good news that several ED medications are now available to treat the condition effectively.

When it comes to treating erectile dysfunction in men, Tadalafil or Cialis is the most effective drug. It is not only safe but also effective. In case, the doctor has diagnosed you with erectile dysfunction then Tadalafil can provide your long-term solution.

What makes you suffer from erectile dysfunction?

In order to understand how tadalafil works daily, it is important to first know how erectile dysfunction happens.

When a man is exposed to sexual stimulation, the brain starts sending signals via nerves to the male sexual organ. The signals prompt tissue in the male reproductive organ to release nitric oxide.      

Nitric oxide further relaxes muscles present in the male sexual organ and widens blood vessels as well. When your muscles are relaxed and your blood vessels are dilated, there is a proper flow of blood. This further causes the tissue to become stiff as well as erect.  

When something goes wrong in this process, you start suffering from the erectile dysfunction condition.

It can be something psychological that keeps your brain from sending signals to the male reproductive organ. You might also suffer from a nerve problem that might not send signals properly.

It can also be possible that your blood vessels are not dilated properly or have enough blood inside them.

Some of the main reasons for erectile dysfunction include:

• Cardiovascular troubles such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol
• Psychological conditions like depression and anxiety
• Lifestyle factors such as alcohol use, obesity, and tobacco use
• Injuries to your pelvic area, penile tissue, or nerves
• Medical conditions such as low testosterone, multiple sclerosis, and sleep disorders

What is tadalafil and what it does do in your body?

Cialis contains tadalafil which belongs to the class of medicines called PDE5 inhibitor which inhibits an enzyme named PDE5. When this medicine begins to inhibit PDE5, more nitric oxide is present around, leading to dilation of your blood vessels.

As a result, there is a smooth flow of blood to the male sexual organ. This further allows you to experience a hard erection.

Remember taking tadalafil regularly aids your body to get and maintain the erection required for sexual activity.

Can you take Tadalafil for a long time?

Doctors do not recommend stopping the intake of tadalafil after some amount of time. This is because no new side effects are developed with the long-term use of tadalafil.

Currently, it is prescribed to continue your treatment with Tadalafil as long the doctor recommends that it is safe for you. You can continue this medicine as long it is capable of treating your ED symptoms.

In case, you are experiencing any new or ongoing side effects during the treatment with Tadalafil that are serious or bothering you then inform the doctor. The doctor will decide whether Tadalafil is a good choice for you or not.

Taking tadalafil dosage as prescribed by the doctor is completely safe even if used for a long time.

When does Tadalafil begin to work in your body?

The best thing about tadalafil is that it starts working instantly. Just like other ED medicines, you need to take a tadalafil tablet almost an hour before the planned sexual activity. The benefit of tadalafil is that you take it only once a day and it offers a hard erection for a long time. 

Once you take the Tadalafil tablet, it will start to work in your body in almost 30 minutes. Since this medicine is taken every day, tadalafil continues to work until you select to stop your treatment. 

For how long does tadalafil work in your body?

Remember tadalafil is meant for long-term treatment. It will continue to offer you benefits as long you take it. Once you stop the treatment, its effects of dosage will last in your body for 36 hours.

Can you drink alcohol during the treatment with Tadalafil?

It is never a good idea to consume alcohol when taking tadalafil for treating your ED condition. Though consuming little alcohol will not harm you. But drinking alcohol excessively will surely increase the possibility of experiencing dizziness, low blood pressure, headache, and increased heart rate.

Is it necessary to have a prescription for buying tadalafil?

Yes, it is important to have a valid prescription from the doctor in order to buy tadalafil from an online or offline medical store.

 

Therefore, if you are planning to take tadalafil for a long time then make sure you consult the doctor once.
