Cialis FAQ
Q: Can I safely split or cut a 20 mg Cialis tablet in half?
A: Cialis (tadalafil) is a film-coated tablet that is not scored (marked with a line down the middle). Scoring on tablets allows them to be split in roughly even halves and provides some assurance of approximate dose. Since Cialis is not scored, it will make it more difficult to split and have any assurance of an accurate dose. Cialis is available in a variety of dosage strengths, including 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg. Consult your healthcare provider to see if a lower dosage form may be appropriate for you.

Q: I take Codiovan, Zanidip, Disprin CV, atenolol, glucophage, insulin, and Crestor. Can I take Cialis? If I am correct, other meds don't have nitrogen compounds.
A: As you know, if you are taking any form of a nitrate medication, then you can not take Cilais or any other medications in this drug class. Since you are taking blood pressure medications and a diabetic, you should discuss the use of Cialis with your physicians. They know your medical condition the best and will make the determination whether they feel it is safe for you to use this medication. Do not use before talking to them first.

Q: Please tell me about Cialis.
A: Cialis (tadalafil) is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. Cialis works by increasing blood flow to the penis when it is stimulated. Viagra (sildenafil) and Levitra (vardenafil) are similar to Cialis, but the major difference is that Cialis can last up to 36 hours. Cialis can interact with many medications and health conditions. Cialis should not be taken if you are using a nitrate drug for chest pain. If you become dizzy or nauseated after taking Cialis, or if you have pain, numbness, or tingling in your chest, neck, arms, or jaw, call your doctor immediately. The most common side effects of Cialis are warmth or redness in the face or chest, stuffy nose, sore throat, memory problems, headache, diarrhea, muscle pain or back pain. For more information about Cialis consult your physician. If you would like to submit another question, return to Everyday Health. Burton Dunaway, PharmD

Q: Can you give me some Cialis information?
A: Some Cialis (tadalafil) information, which may be beneficial when considering or beginning treatment, should include reason for use and mechanism of action, proper dosage and administration, contraindications, frequently observed side effects and important drug interactions. Cialis is approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Cialis is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor which enhances erectile function. This process is mediated by the release of nitric oxide which causes the subsequent relaxation of smooth muscle and increased blood flow. Sexual stimulation is required to stimulate the release of nitric oxide. Therefore, Cialis will not exhibit a therapeutic effect in the absence of sexual stimulation. Cialis is approved for two different treatment approaches, as needed use and once daily use. For treatment with Cialis, for as needed use, the recommended initial dose is 10 mg administered once daily, at least 30 minutes prior to sexual activity. During clinical trials, Cialis for as needed use demonstrated efficacy, improved erectile function, for up to 36 hours following dose administration. Doses may be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg based upon therapeutic response and patient tolerability. When prescribing Cialis for once daily use, the recommended initial dose is 2.5 mg administered once daily and without regard to timing of sexual activity. Cialis for once daily use should be administered at the same time each day. Doses may be increased to 5 mg depending on therapeutic response and tolerability. For either treatment approach, Cialis may be taken without regard to food. Cialis should be stored at controlled room temperature and out of reach of children. Cialis is contraindicated in patients currently being treated with nitrates, regularly or intermittently. The concomitant use of Cialis with nitrates can potentiate the hypotensive effect of nitrates causing a sudden and dangerous drop in blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, heart attack or stroke. According to the prescribing information, the most common adverse reactions, occurring in greater than 2% of patients during clinical trials, include headache, dyspepsia, back pain, myalgia, nasal congestion, flushing and pain in limb. Less common adverse reactions may include priapism (erection lasting more than four hours), sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes or a sudden decrease or loss of hearing. It is imperative to contact your physician, immediately, if any of these serious adverse reactions occur. Cialis should be prescribed and administered with caution in patients taking alpha blockers or other antihypertensive medications because of the potential for additive blood pressure lowering effects. Patients should also be advised regarding the consumption of alcohol in combination with Cialis. Cialis can also potentiate the hypotensive effects when used in combination with alcohol increasing the risk for orthostatic symptoms, including increased heart rate, decreased standing blood pressure, dizziness and headache. This is some Cialis information that should be taken into consideration when considering or beginning treatment. Other side effects and drug interactions are possible, so it is important to discuss any other medications you currently take prior to initiation of treatment with Cialis.
