You don't have to eat right before sex? erectile dysfunction medication, cialis low dose daily therapy urologist Jang Jin-seok

What is a low-dose daily regimen?

Low-dose daily therapy is a treatment for erectile dysfunction in which half a dose of Cialis (tadalafil) is taken daily, regardless of whether or not you are sexually active.

Until now, erectile dysfunction medications were usually Viagra, which was taken an hour or two before sexual activity. However, not only was it uncomfortable to have sex at an agreed time between the partners, but the process of taking the pills itself disrupted the natural atmosphere between the partners before sex.

However, unlike Viagra, Cialis (tadalafil) lasts up to two days, so if you take a low dose every day, you can have natural sexual activity at any time. Not only is patient satisfaction high, but it is also effective in treating enlarged prostate, so it is now one of the standard treatments for erectile dysfunction.

Low-dose daily regimen dosage and dosage cycle

According to the manufacturer of Cialis, the recommended dose of Cialis for use as a low-dose daily regimen is 2.5 mg. However, clinically, it has been shown to have the best results when taken at 5 mg. Take at the same time every day, but every other day if needed.

Side effects of low-dose daily therapy

Clinical trials have shown that headache (6%) accounted for the largest number of side effects of low-dose daily Cialis therapy. This was followed by dyspepsia at 5%, nasopharyngitis, back pain, upper respiratory tract infection, and flushing at 3%, and muscle pain, cough, diarrhea, nasal congestion, limb pain, urinary tract infections, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and abdominal pain at 2% or less.

If you experience any of these side effects during treatment, we recommend that you change your dosage cycle every other day or stop taking the drug. In particular, if you experience blurred vision or swollen eyelids, it is recommended that you stop taking it immediately and visit your doctor. These side effects are more common in people over 75 than in younger men, and are more common in people who have had high blood pressure or a heart attack.

Advice on a low-dose daily regimen

A low-dose daily regimen is a treatment that may be helpful for those who have sex more than twice a week. However, if you only have less than 8 sexual interactions per month, it may be more cost-effective to take long-acting Cialis only when needed.

In general, low-dose daily therapy is not recommended for the following:

First, patients who are taking nitrate preparations due to cardiovascular disease. In this case, you should not take Cialis.

Second, people who have liver failure or are taking medications for high blood pressure, such as alpha-blockers.

Third, they are people who usually drink a lot of alcohol. If you drink a lot of alcohol during a low-dose daily regimen, your blood pressure may drop excessively.
