Begin with the lowest dose (5 mg) unless your doctor directs otherwise. Take Cialis once daily at approximately the same time each day. This allows for consistent blood levels and helps maintain effectiveness.
Adjusting Your Dose
Your doctor may increase your dose to 10 mg or 20 mg daily, depending on your response and individual needs. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician. They will monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to optimize your treatment.
Taking Cialis as Needed
In some cases, Cialis may be prescribed as needed, typically 10 mg or 20 mg, 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. However, taking it daily offers more consistent results. Discuss the best approach with your healthcare provider.
Remember to always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. If you experience side effects, contact your doctor immediately. They can help you manage any adverse reactions and determine the most suitable dosage for you.
Important Considerations
Cialis can interact with other medications, so inform your doctor about all the drugs you are currently taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. Grapefruit juice can affect Cialis’s metabolism; avoid consuming it while taking this medication. Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of side effects.
