BP Cialis (Tadalafil)

Cialis is a medication containing tadalafil, a long-acting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor commonly used to support erectile function in men.

In addition to erectile dysfunction (ED), tadalafil is also widely used to assist with symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition involving enlargement of the prostate gland.

What Cialis Is Used For

Cialis is commonly associated with support for:

• Improved erectile function in men with ED

• Increased blood flow to penile tissue

• Improved ability to achieve and maintain erections

• Relief of urinary symptoms linked to BPH, such as frequent or difficult urination

Its long duration of action makes it a preferred option for men seeking greater flexibility.

How Cialis Works

Cialis works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which results in increased levels of cyclic GMP and improved blood flow to smooth muscle tissue.

Key characteristics include:

• Enhanced blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation

• Relaxation of smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder

• Long half-life of approximately 18 hours

• Clinical effectiveness lasting up to 36 hours after administration

This extended activity window is why tadalafil is often referred to as the “weekend” ED medication.
