Detailed Information

How it works

Cialis may work by increasing blood flow to specific areas of the body by relaxing smooth muscle tissues in blood vessel walls.

This mechanism is part of how it helps treat erectile dysfunction and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as it promotes vasodilation and improved circulation.

Because the same mechanism affects multiple systems, some people experience side effects related to blood pressure or muscle function.

Clinical applications

Cialis is most frequently used for erectile dysfunction, but is also approved for treating BPH and ED/BPH combined symptoms in men.

Its effects may vary based on dosage and duration of use. Side effects may be short-lived or diminish with regular use.

This also explains why follow-up with a healthcare provider is recommended during treatment.

Safety and Effectiveness

Rare but serious side effects—such as sudden vision or hearing changes and prolonged erections—require immediate medical attention.

FDA approval and indications

The FDA has approved Cialis (tadalafil) to treat erectile dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and ED/BPH combined symptoms in adult men.
