What is Cialis?
Cialis is a prescription medicine taken by mouth for the treatment
of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. ED is a condition where the
penis does not harden and expand when a man is sexually excited, or
when he cannot keep an erection. Cialis may help a man with ED get
and keep an erection when he is sexually excited. Cialis must be
used only under a doctor’s care.
Cialis does not:
-
cure ED
-
increase a man’s sexual desire
-
protect a man or his partner from sexually
transmitted diseases, including HIV. Speak to your healthcare
professional about ways to guard against sexually transmitted
diseases.
-
serve as a male form of birth control
Cialis is only for men with ED. Cialis is not for
women or children. Cialis must be used only under a healthcare
professional’s care.
Who Should Not Take Cialis?
Do not take Cialis if you:
-
take any medicines called “nitrates”
