Cialis Basics
Introduction
Sex has been the part of the life since the
day Adam saw the apple. Man has been striving to achieve a better
performance in order to satisfy both his as well his partner’s
requirements. Age, hormonal imbalances, society, money and many
other things have not been able to remain a barrier for long in
this quest. Medicinal herbs, fruits and certain exercises such
as meditation have helped him in one way or the other but there
has always been a search to help men in his erectile dysfunction
in nearly all cases with having minimum of the side effects. Viagra
hit the market in 1998 and was an instant success in that regard.
But due to its side effects more research was still needed and
a new product was about to come. Cialis then came and with its
minimum side effects profile and the greater half-life was what
people needed the most.
What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the inability of the
person to either initiate or sustain a penile erection for a sufficient
period of time that is needed to attain a sexual gratification.
The causes of it may be many for e.g. psychological, hormonal,
arterial or muscular. The diseases associated with it are Diabetes
Mellitus, Major Depression, certain thrombotic disorders, etc.
Does Viagra work as well as Cialis? What is cialis?
Cialis and drugs related to it like Viagra act
by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 which
release Nitric Oxide from nerve endings and endothelium causing
relaxation of smooth muscle and hence penile erection. This is
a product developed by Eli Lilly and ICOS and it is a trade name
of the product called Tadalafil launched in the market in 2003.
What are the advantages and side effects?
Although the vasodilatation that is needed is
in penis, due to the extreme non-specificity of the product there
are certain side effects related to vasodilatation at other sites
such as headache, nasal congestion, stuffiness, and fall in blood
pressure. Some patients complain of loose motions. These side
effects are more applicable to products such as Viagra than to
Cialis. Some patients have suffered heart attack and severe fall
in blood pressure.
Who all can benefit?
Men with erectile dysfunction due to some arterial
disorders will benefit the most. It doesn’t benefit those
with hormonal problems or psychological problems except those
with Diabetic neuropathy. There is a myth that a person as soon
as taking the drug will have erection but that is not the case.
It starts taking action only when a person starts physical activity.
How is cialis better than others?
Cialis has a half life of around 36 hours while
that of Viagra is around 4 hours that means that a person can
take the drug and can expect to have erection at a time much later
than the time of administration. This achieves much patient compliance.
What is the latest research that is going
on?
The latest research that is going on is hormonal
therapy and genetic therapy in this regard. These are basically
to avoid the side effect profile of these type of drugs.
