Generic Cialis Description

Generic Cialis is a drug indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction of both psychological and organic etiology and is used for rehabilitative therapy of erections after penile arterial disease. Cialis has been on the ED pharmacy market since 2003. The drug has tadalafil as its active medicinal component.

Mechanism of Action

The mechanism of tadalafil action similar to that of sildenafil, increasing the penile arterial blood flow, but has a different molecular composition which prolongs the effect and fewer side effects. It is recommended to use the type of Cialis depending on the cause that conditioned erectile dysfunction (you have the best effects when it is taken not as a facilitator of sexual activity but with a function of therapy: therapeutic cycles on alternate days).

Tadalafil is marketed under several trademark names and makes a part of a wide range of ED drugs to choose from. By purchasing generic Cialis you get a drug that is completely identical to the original pill by Eli Lily. However, the cost is about a few times lower than the original. In addition to more competitive prices, aftermarket products are available in different pharmacological groups: tablets, coated capsules or gel. So for example, Tadalafil, or generic version of Cialis is available in tablet form, and starts to have effect as well as the original – in 40-50 minutes. The tablet is taken in the same way as any other drugs of this nature – washed down with copious amounts of water.

For those who do not like pills, the drug is released in the form of a gel.

A similar form of this drug does not require a wash down with water or dissolving the drug under the tongue. Cialis Gel will begin its effects on the body after approximately 20 minutes. Therefore, Cialis in the form of gel should be taken by those who do not want to wait and want to get instant results from the effects of the drug.
