Today we will explore the theme: "Cialis side effects prolonged use".
Sexual dysfunctions in men are really a big problem, both physical and emotional, because they have quite serious consequences even in everyday life.
But solutions exist today and are often simpler than one might imagine. There are sexual supplements, practical non-invasive aids to solve above all temporary cases, but also specific products that treat the problem immediately.
The best known type of drug is certainly Viagra, but for some time now also Cialis, based on tadalafil, has become a quite used remedy for erectile dysfunction.
And it is precisely this product that we will talk to you about today, trying to study it in its components and trying to understand if it has any contraindications.
What is Cialis?
Cialis is the name of an effective over-the-counter drug that falls into the category of PDE 5 inhibitors, specific for the treatment of erection problems.
Its goal is to improve sexual performance by acting directly from within: it relaxes muscles and increases blood flow to specific parts of the body.
The result is temporary and not definitive, so it requires to be taken whenever needed.
Speed of action and duration
Cialis, compared to Viagra, Spedra and Levitra, has the advantage of having a duration of 36 hours. What does it mean? In practice, its effect lasts for a few days and allows you to experience a more natural sexuality as it does not necessarily have to be programmed on the basis of taking the drug, which is inevitable in cases of erection difficulties.
Someone calls it "the weekend pill" for this very reason!

The other drugs, on the other hand, have a duration that does not exceed 12 hours.
But while its durability is exceptional, on the other it has some shortcomings in the speed of action. Unfortunately it takes longer to be absorbed by the body and begin to perform its function.
It is advisable to take it even two hours before because this is the time range in which it exerts its maximum power. But then, as already mentioned, its effect does not end within a few hours but persists continuously for a maximum of 36 hours.
This is why it represents an excellent alternative to the popular Viagra, and above all this explains the reason why many decide to use it for a long time.
But can prolonged use have side effects? Let's find out together!
Cialis long term use side effects
Let's start immediately from the assumption that before starting to use Cialis it is important to consult your doctor: in some cases, in fact, it may be not recommended to take this type of drug because it causes even serious side effects.
In principle, it is well tolerated by all men, since its formulation is not particularly aggressive and does not affect internal organs.
But we must always take into consideration the exceptions and the most delicate cases, which we will go into in depth to fully analyze the value of the inhibitor drug.
Furthermore, compared to other products of the same category that are used only when necessary, Cialis is the only one that is taken continuously (given its long-lasting effects). Therefore it is advisable to evaluate well whether prolonged use can also have unpleasant contraindications.
Cialis side effects for prolonged use: the mildest
From headaches to nasal congestion, the side effects of prolonged use of Cialis can also be easily bearable.
You may experience episodes of back pain, muscle pain, gastrointestinal discomfort and in some rarer cases even dizziness.
Fortunately, there are no visual disturbances, as often happens with Viagra.
In any case, these are transient reactions that pass on their own within a short time.
When do the first symptoms begin to emerge? Usually these side effects are noticed starting from the first 10 days of starting treatment and continuing within 30 days.
Cialis side effects for prolonged use: the most serious, albeit rare
And then there are those very rare situations which, however, must be highlighted to avoid the risk of encountering particularly serious contraindications.
In most cases this product is used without fear for safety even by those with previous cardiovascular and cardio circulatory problems. Indeed, cases of stroke or heart attack are not mentioned.
But we must pay attention to some cases in which it is preferable not to take Cialis, especially continuously:
- If you have had a heart attack, stroke or severe cardiac arrhythmias in the last 6 months.
- When you have serious episodes of hypotension or hypertension.
- If you suffer from unstable angina or heart failure.
- When you are under therapy based on nitrates or nitroderivatives.
Furthermore, you may have serious contraindications if you decide to prolong (but sometimes even use only once!) Cialis but at the same time you are under treatment with other drugs.
Attention to age! Here's how to self-regulate
Of course there are guidelines that must be respected before starting a continuous Cialis treatment.

Age is a requirement that must be monitored to avoid more or less serious contraindications.
Categorical no for children under 18! Then, starting from the age of majority, it can be taken regularly, but only when really necessary, also because it is not an aphrodisiac but a drug that enhances erection but has no effect on libido.
Some extra care must be taken from 65 years of age. In the range that includes 65-75 years, cases of gastrointestinal disturbances, such as diarrhea, are more evident. After the age of 75, there may also be cases of vertigo which must be reported immediately to the trusted doctor.
We conclude by recalling that every man is different from the other and therefore duration, therapeutic effect and even side effects for temporary or prolonged use are still subjective, therefore it is always important not to rely on chance but to monitor one's state of health before and after the treatment. If anomalies or discomforts are highlighted that were not felt before, it is imperative to suspend the treatment and speak to the doctor. This rule applies to all ages!
