Regional Deficiencies in Blood Supply

Did you know that Viagra was actually under clinical trials for being a potential treatment for angina? The drug known then as UK-92,480 was under clinical supervision and the researchers found the test subjects reporting erections.

Intrigued by these reports. They launched a new study using a Rigiscan device to measure erections. These are loops placed over the erection to gauge how hard and erect the penis’s got during sexual stimulation.

Sildenafil (Viagra) is also marketed under the name Revatio for the treatment high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs called pulmonary hypertension.

Sildenafil has also showed that men with angina can prolong their time exercising thus decreased the loss of muscle tissue. Could this suggest other uses for ED medication such as congestive heart failure, stroke, hypertension, and certain lung disorders?

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center researchers are currently testing Cialis (tadalafil), another erectile dysfunction drug, on men with Becker Muscular Dystrophy. This is one of the nine forms of muscular dystrophy, which is a group of muscle wasting diseases. Since tadalafil dilates blood vessels, and muscular dystrophy seems to be related to a lack of blood supply, the idea seems natural.

Dr. Ronald G. Victor of Cedars and his colleagues want to try this, which is being funded by the Muscular Dystrophy Association. They plan on testing 24 men with Becker’s, who will receive either a placebo or tadalafil, and then they will measure the amount of blood flow to the muscles while exercising.

This follows research on animal types of muscular dystrophy on mice. The research showed that the mice that had taken the drug could exercise much more vigorously with less muscle damage.

In the United States and Europe, Cialis loses patent protection later in 2017. Which is ultimately good news, but doesn’t help much in the meantime. Lilly ICOS has been aggressively advertising Cialis in the lead-up to loss of patent protection. Additionally, the company has hiked prices in hopes of capturing the most earnings before generics enter the market.

In fact, brand name erectile dysfunction drugs in general have increased in price. You can expect to pay around $30 to $40 per pill, and since most health insurance drug coverage doesn’t include erectile dysfunction drugs, you will probably be paying for it out of pocket.

Be that as it may, what you don’t want to do is buy a generic off the internet. These generics are almost always of unknown provenance, and are quite likely to be fake. If they do contain the active ingredients in the name brand drugs, which is a big if, there’s no way of knowing how much of it they contain. Generic price relief is coming, but the only way to be safe until then is to only buy genuine Cialis with batch and lot numbers that you can trace to the manufacturer.

At the end of the day, getting the best results with Cialis means talking to a health professional and determining which dosage is right for you, and which therapy method (daily, or as-needed) is best for your situation. Cialis is a blockbuster drug for a reason. Millions of men have taken it safely and enjoyed its benefits. Compare its characteristics with your other options for treating erectile dysfunction, and you’re sure to make a wise choice to address your sexual health.

The popular prescription medications used to treat erectile dysfunction, Cialis, Viagra, and Levitra, belong to a class of drugs called PDE-5 inhibitors. That said, the effective dosages from one PDE-5 inhibitor to another can vary significantly. Never assume, for example, that because you take 25 mg of Viagra, that 25 mg of Cialis is the right dosage (particularly since Cialis isn’t available in that dosage).

The different brands of prescription drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction are similar, but not identical in formulation.

A physician is the right person to determine what your starting dosage should be with any PDE-5 inhibitor, and this decision is based on your physical health, how long you have had problems with erectile dysfunction, your lifestyle, and whether you have contributing health factors like obesity or diabetes. Here are some frequently asked questions about Cialis dosages.

My experience with Viagra was less than great. Why should I bother trying another PDE-5 inhibitor to treat erectile dysfunction?

PDE-5 inhibitors are similar, but far from identical. Sometimes trial and error is necessary to determine which one works best for you. Just because you didn’t get great results with Viagra doesn’t mean other PDE-5 inhibitors won’t work for you. Slight differences in formulation can sometimes make all the difference due to your unique physiology. Don’t give up just because one PDE-5 inhibitor didn’t work as expected. Another one may be just right for you.

Maybe you’re wondering why a man would take anything other than Cialis for erectile dysfunction. The reported effectiveness of Viagra is 84%, while the reported effectiveness for Cialis is slightly lower, at 81%. Many men want to try Cialis, however because of its longer half-life.

Doctors advise erectile dysfunction patients to take Cialis 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity, compared to the one-hour lead time many doctors recommend for Levitra and Viagra. With an 18-hour half-life, a man could theoretically take Cialis on a Friday night, and still feel its effects on Sunday. That’s been a huge selling point for Cialis.

Cialis is the brand name for the drug tadalafil, used to treat erectile dysfunction. Made by Lilly ICOS, LLC, Cialis is available in dosages of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg. It gained approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2003 and was the third prescription drug made for erectile dysfunction, following Viagra and Levitra.

Cialis entered the market in 2003 for treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Cialis eventually surpassed Viagra in sales and is currently the best-selling erectile dysfunction drug. On the Pharma Compass list of top pharmaceuticals for the year 2015, Cialis ranks at number 190, with revenues of US$2.3 billion for that year. For comparison, Viagra ranked at number 473 on the same list. Cialis, therefore, is not only the best-selling drug for erectile dysfunction, it is one of the best-selling drugs worldwide, period.

Cialis prescribed for as-needed use is available in dosages of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg, and most men are initially prescribed 10 mg, so there’s room for adjustment in either direction if necessary. But your physician may choose another starting dosage, and if that’s the case, there’s nothing wrong with asking why. There’s probably a very good reason why your doctor chose to start you with 5 mg or 20 mg, and any good doctor will be more than willing to explain why.

Cialis is the best-selling prescription drug for erectile dysfunction and is still considered a “blockbuster” drug.

Even though Cialis will lose patent protection in the United States and Europe later in 2017, it is still a blockbuster drug (defined as a drug that brings in at least $1 billion per year in revenues). It’s more popular than Viagra and Levitra primarily because it has a significantly longer half-life than Viagra and Levitra. In other words, for most men, it’s effective far longer than the alternatives.

That’s been a big selling point for Cialis, with ads nicknaming it the “Weekend Pill” because many men can take it on a Friday night and still experience its effects on Sunday. The half-life of Cialis is around 18 hours, compared to 4 to 6 hours for Viagra and Levitra. This allows a higher degree of spontaneity, and a lot of men prefer that to scheduling taking a pill 30 minutes to an hour before sex.
