Cialis Medical Information:
What important information should you know
about CIALIS? CIALIS can cause your
blood pressure to drop suddenly to an unsafe level if it is
taken
with certain other medicines. You could get dizzy, faint, or
have a heart attack or stroke.
Do not take CIALIS if you:
•
take any medicines called “nitrates.”
•
use recreational drugs called “poppers” like amyl
nitrate and butyl nitrate.
•
take medicines called alpha blockers, other than Flomax® (tamsulosin
HCl) 0.4 mg daily.
(See “Who should not take CIALIS?”)
Tell all your healthcare providers that you take CIALIS. If you
need emergency medical care
for a heart problem, it will be important for your healthcare
provider to know when you last took
CIALIS.
After taking a single tablet, some of the active ingredient of
CIALIS remains in your body
for more than 2 days. The active ingredient can remain longer
if you have problems with your
kidneys or liver, or you are taking certain other medications
(see “Can other medications affect CIALIS?”).
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. A
man who has trouble getting or keeping an erection should see
his doctor for help if the condition bothers him. CIALIS may
help a man with ED get and keep an erection when
he is sexually excited. 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 doctor 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 doctor’s care.
How does CIALIS work? When a
man is sexually stimulated, his body’s normal physical
response is to increase blood flow to his penis.
This results in an erection. CIALIS helps increase blood flow
to the penis and may help men with ED get and
keep an erection satisfactory for sexual activity. Once a man
has completed sexual activity, blood flow to his penis decreases,
and his erection goes away.
Who can take CIALIS? Talk to
your doctor to decide if CIALIS is right for you. CIALIS has
been shown to be effective in men over the age of
18 years who have erectile dysfunction, including men with diabetes or who have undergone
prostatectomy.
Who should not take CIALIS? Do not take CIALIS if you:
•
take any medicines called “nitrates” (See “What
important information should you
know about CIALIS?”). Nitrates are commonly used to treat
angina. Angina is a symptom of heart disease and
can cause pain in your chest, jaw, or down your arm. Medicines
called nitrates include nitroglycerin that is found in tablets,
sprays, ointments, pastes, or patches. Nitrates
can also be found in other medicines such as isosorbide dinitrate
or isosorbide mononitrate. Some recreational drugs called “poppers” also contain
nitrates, such as amyl nitrate and butyl nitrate. Do not use
CIALIS if you are using these drugs. Ask your
doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if any of your medicines are nitrates.
•
take medicines called “alpha blockers”, other than
Flomax® 0.4 mg daily. Alpha blockers are sometimes
prescribed for prostate problems or high blood pressure. If CIALIS
is taken with alpha blockers other than Flomax® 0.4
mg daily, your blood pressure could suddenly drop
to an unsafe level. You could get dizzy and faint.
• you have been told by your healthcare provider to not have sexual
activity because
of health problems. Sexual activity can put an extra strain on
your heart, especially if your heart is already weak from a heart attack or heart disease.
• are allergic to CIALIS or any of its ingredients. The active
ingredient in CIALIS is called tadalafil. See
the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients.
What should you discuss with your doctor
before taking CIALIS? Before taking
CIALIS, tell your doctor about all your medical problems, including
if you:
• have heart problems such as angina, heart failure, irregular
heartbeats, or have had a heart attack. Ask your doctor if it
is safe for you to have sexual activity.
• have low blood pressure or have high blood pressure that is not
controlled
• have had a stroke
• have liver problems
• have kidney problems or require dialysis
• have retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic (runs in families)
eye disease
• have stomach ulcers
• have a bleeding problem
•
have a deformed penis shape or Peyronie’s disease
• have had an erection that lasted more than 4 hours
• have blood cell problems such as sickle cell anemia, multiple
myeloma, or leukemia
Can other medications affect CIALIS? Tell
your doctor about all the medicines you take including prescription
and non-prescription
medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. CIALIS and other
medicines may affect each other. Always check
with your doctor before starting or stopping any medicines. Especially
tell your doctor if you take any of the following:
•
medicines called nitrates (See “What important information
should you know about CIALIS?”)
•
medicines called alpha blockers. These include Hytrin® (terazosin
HCl),
Flomax® (tamsulosin HCl), Cardura® (doxazosin mesylate),
Minipress® (prazosin HCl) or Uroxatral® (alfuzosin HCl).
•
ritonavir (Norvir®) or indinavir (Crixivan®)
•
ketoconazole or itraconazole (such as Nizoral® or Sporanox®)
• erythromycin
• other medicines or treatments for ED
How should you take CIALIS? Take CIALIS exactly as your doctor
prescribes. CIALIS comes in different doses (5 mg, 10 mg, and
20 mg). For most men, the recommended starting dose is 10 mg. CIALIS should be taken
no more than once a day. Some men can only take a low dose of CIALIS because
of medical conditions or medicines they take. Your doctor will
prescribe the dose that is right for you.
• If you have kidney problems, your doctor may start you on a lower
dose of CIALIS.
• If you have kidney or liver problems or you are taking certain
medications, your doctor may limit your highest dose of CIALIS
to 10 mg and may also limit you to one tablet in 48 hours (2 days) or one tablet in 72 hours (3 days).
Take one CIALIS tablet before sexual activity. In some patients,
the ability to have sexual
activity was improved at 30 minutes after taking CIALIS when
compared to a sugar pill. The
ability to have sexual activity was improved up to 36 hours after
taking CIALIS when compared to a sugar pill. You
and your doctor should consider this in deciding when you should
take CIALIS prior to sexual activity. Some form
of sexual stimulation is needed for an erection to happen with CIALIS. CIALIS may be taken with or without meals.
Do not change your dose of CIALIS without talking to your doctor.
Your doctor may lower your dose or raise your
dose, depending on how your body reacts to CIALIS. Do
not drink alcohol to excess when taking CIALIS (for example,
5 glasses of wine or 5 shots of whiskey). When
taken in excess, alcohol can increase your chances of getting
a headache or getting dizzy, increasing your heart rate, or lowering your blood
pressure.
If you take too much CIALIS, call your doctor or emergency room
right away.
What are the possible side effects of CIALIS? The
most common side effects with CIALIS are headache, indigestion,
back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and stuffy
or runny nose. These side effects usually go away after a few
hours. Patients who get back pain and muscle aches
usually get it 12 to 24 hours after taking CIALIS. Back pain and
muscle aches usually go away by themselves within 48 hours. Call
your doctor if you get a side effect that bothers
you or one that will not go away.
CIALIS may uncommonly cause:
•
an erection that won’t go away (priapism). If you get an
erection that lasts more than 4 hours, get medical
help right away. Priapism must be treated as soon as possible
or
lasting damage can happen to your penis including the inability
to have erections.
• vision changes, such as seeing a blue tinge to objects or having
difficulty telling the
difference between the colors blue and green. These
are not all the side effects of CIALIS. For more information,
ask your doctor or pharmacist.
How should CIALIS be stored? Store CIALIS at
room temperature between 59° and 86°F
(15° and 30°C). Keep CIALIS and all medicines out of
the reach of children.

are sometimes prescribed for conditions other than those described
in patient information leaflets. Do not use CIALIS
for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give
CIALIS to other people, even if they have the same symptoms that
you have. It may harm them.
