How Cialis 5mg Works
Cialis 5mg works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Tadalafil, the active substance, inhibits PDE5, an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). By blocking PDE5, Cialis allows cGMP levels to remain elevated, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation and improved blood flow to the penis, which helps achieve and maintain an erection. It is important to note that Cialis does not cause an erection without sexual stimulation.
In cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, tadalafil helps relax the smooth muscles of the bladder and prostate, which can improve urine flow and reduce symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak stream, and frequent or urgent urination.
Dosage and Administration
Cialis 5mg is usually prescribed as a once-daily tablet, taken at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. The daily dose provides continuous therapeutic levels of tadalafil in the bloodstream. This low daily dose is distinct from the higher doses (10 mg or 20 mg) that may be prescribed for on-demand use in ED.
Patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosing. It may take several days of continuous daily use for the full benefits of Cialis 5mg to become apparent, especially for BPH symptoms.
