Cialis Tablet Uses

Cialis tablet is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Following are some common uses of Cialis Tablet:

1. Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Cialis tablet is commonly used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, a condition characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Cialis helps to relax the blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow and facilitating an erection. It is important to note that Cialis requires sexual stimulation to be effective.
2. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Cialis tablet is also used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is an enlarged prostate gland that can cause urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, and difficulty starting or stopping urination. Cialis helps to relax the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder, reducing urinary symptoms associated with BPH.
3. Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Cialis tablet is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs. Cialis helps to relax and widen the blood vessels in the lungs, reducing the workload on the heart and improving exercise capacity in individuals with PAH.

Off-label Uses of Cialis Tablet

1. Raynaud’s Phenomenon: Cialis tablet has been used off-label to treat Raynaud’s phenomenon, a condition characterized by episodes of blood vessel spasms in the fingers and toes. Cialis may help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, reducing the severity and frequency of Raynaud’s attacks.
2. High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE): Cialis tablet has been used off-label in preventing and treating high-altitude pulmonary edema, a condition that can occur at high altitudes due to increased pulmonary artery pressure and fluid accumulation in the lungs.
3. Female Sexual Dysfunction: Cialis tablet can also be used off-label to treat certain types of female sexual dysfunction, such as arousal disorders and reduced sexual satisfaction. It may help improve blood flow to the genital area, leading to enhanced sexual response.
4. Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS): Cialis tablet can be used for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in both men and women. LUTS include urinary urgency, frequency, and incomplete bladder emptying. Cialis’s ability to relax smooth muscles may help alleviate LUTS symptoms.

Cialis has several contraindications, which are medical conditions or situations where the use of Cialis is not recommended due to the potential risks outweighing the benefits.

Hypersensitivity: Cialis is contraindicated in individuals who have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Cialis or any other component of the medication. Allergic reactions can range from mild skin reactions to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, which is a potentially life-threatening condition.

Nitrate Medications: Cialis is contraindicated in individuals who are taking any form of nitrate medication, such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, or isosorbide mononitrate. Combining Cialis with nitrates can cause a severe drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness, fainting, or even a life-threatening condition.

Riociguat: Cialis is contraindicated in individuals who are taking riociguat, a medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. The combination of Cialis and riociguat can also lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Cardiovascular Disorders: Cialis is contraindicated in individuals with certain cardiovascular disorders, including recent heart attacks (within the past 90 days), unstable angina (chest pain), severe heart failure, uncontrolled arrhythmias, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. Cialis can exert a mild systemic vasodilatory effect, which may pose risks in individuals with compromised cardiovascular health.

Stroke: Cialis is contraindicated in individuals who have had a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the past six months. It may increase the risk of recurrent stroke or TIA in these individuals.

Severe Liver or Kidney Impairment: Cialis is contraindicated in individuals with severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) or severe kidney impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min). Cialis should be used with caution in individuals with mild to moderate liver or kidney impairment.

Cialis works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5, which is responsible for the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). By inhibiting this enzyme, Cialis increases the levels of cGMP in the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels.
