CIALIS  (TADALAFIL):  Tadalafil is used to treat male sexual function problems (impotence or erectile dysfunction-ED). In combination with sexual stimulation, tadalafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help a man get and keep an erection. Tadalafil is also used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tadalafil is thought to work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder. This drug does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis). Practice "safe sex" such as using latex condoms. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.   FDA Approval Date: 2003-11-21 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  To be ready on demand. Severe leg and back cramps that lasted for days. Nothing happened for 24 hours, unlike viagra which generally works in a few hours. It does provide rock hard erections. I have been woken by morning wood for the last 4 days, very happy with that, but the hamstring and lower back pain has been unbearable. I took pain meds to sleep the last two nights. If anyone has any ideas or can explain why that pain occurs, especially a way to prevent that, please let me know. M 48 5 days

 4  Anxiety related ED Fairly severe headache, Severe calf and thigh muscle ache and cramps. I cannot sleep unless I take ibuprofen the next day after using cialis. I also am starting to get a congested nose although that is not too big of a deal. I'm only 20 and can still rock a great hard on but I'm guessing it's anxiety around women (I don't think I'm gay) that keeps me from being able to perform. Had a great week so far with this pill, they last a good day and a half and I have been able to get it up and keep it up with little effort on her part multiple times in a row. I bought the generic stuff; it is the same but cheaper as the name brand. I would highly recommend cialis, just make sure you have your pain killers ready for the next day or two. M 20 4 days

 1  ED Severe back pain a few hours after taking one 20mg tablet. The next morning I woke to find my eyelids and underneath my eyes had swollen up in the extreme. The back pain was still there too, along with numb feelings in all my joints and a fluttery feeling in my heart. Eyelid swelling and pains decreased throughout the day. The next morning (2 days after taking) my eyelids and eyes had swollen up in the extreme again and all the other symptoms were back too. I spent 5 hours waiting in casualty to see a dr, by the time I did my eyelids had gone down again and the pains had again subsided. The next day (three days after taking!) my eyelids had swollen up again and the back pain was back. I was scared and went back to the dr's, where I was given antihistamines to stop the swelling (that was what I was most worried about), they seemed to work- that, or the drug had just gone from my system. I have no idea how the cialis affected my ED, I was in too much pain and far too worried to think abo M 30 1 days

 1  Bladder Neck Inflammation and Pain Facial Flushing, Dull Headaches, Red puffy eyes, pain and pressure in the eyes. I took this drug after my urologist suggested it because of pain in my uretha from a bladder neck inflammation. This drug works great for ED or any erectile failure. HOWEVER, I get yearly glaucoma exams because my mother had it in her 60s, and my optic nerve is irregular showing a predisposition for the disease. My checkups had been fine until my last one when they told me I have a LOSS OF VISION IN MY LEFT EYE showing that I am now fully glaucomic. The Doctors do not attribute this to the use of Cialis but I can tell that I am almost positive that the use of this drug caused DAMAGE TO MY OPTIC NERVE which precipitated an early onset of glaucoma, which I may have had to contend with in my 50's or 60's. The drug is a a known vasodilator which will suddenly increase the pressure in your eye. Not enough to cause a NAION (stroke), but after continued use over years, I DO BELIEVE, it will damage your optic nerve as I believe it did mine. You will not even notice it is happening until you get a visual field exam which I encourage anyone taking this drug over the long term to do. WHAT DO YOU THINK is happening to your eyes, after you take this drug and you notice pressure, redness, pain and swelling in your eyes which lasts for the duration of the drug life in your body. This drugs is causing you the slightest damage with every use that will only come to light after many years of using it. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO!!! IF YOU DO, PLEASE GET A FULL EYE EXAM FR M 40

 4  Improve erections lower abdomen pain, testicular pain, muscle ache in legs Although the side effects do not occur all of the time, I have about a 50% correlation with taking it and getting various muscle aches. The last 2-3 days and start about 2 days after taking dosage. On the other side of the coin, the stuff works well. M 56 6 days

 4  Stronger erection leg cramps, headache Wow, I didn't put two and two together for awhile but this gives me pretty strong leg cramps in upper thigh and hamstring; can't even go to sleep they are so strong. Headache is pretty strong as well. Notice the leg pain about 48 hrs after taking. It took about 4 times taking the pill to figure it out. Have 2 left and I'm thinking these pills are headed to the garbage disposal. Improvement in erection was not real noticeable until a few hours after pill. M 58 3 months

 5  ED from type 2 diabetes mild heartburn and muscle aches. Exceeding the recommended doseage (did once by accident) will result in severe back and leg pain. You won't make that mistake again. Very happy with erections with cialis. Also seem to be more sensitive too. Should have talked to the doctor about it sooner. M 62 2 years

 4  Improve erections Mild facial flushing about an hour after dose, serious nasal congestion, hangover-like symptoms. I don't have a regular partner so take Cialis only when I expect to be having sex, not daily. I started out at 20mg which was overkill and resulted in more severe side effects. Half the pill is plenty, lasts three days so perfect for the weekend. I find I can't drink much if any alcohol within 48 hours of taking it without having a severe hangover the next day. The nasal congestion has been so bad that it has twice turned into an infection needing treatment. OTC antihistamines and decongestants have little/no affect on the congestion. Doc prescribed a steroid nose spray which does the trick. Luckily I have not experienced any of the muscle ache symptoms mentioned here. M 55 1 years

 5  ED Sore muscles, headache I have had anxiety based ED my entire life. Until I tried this product I thought this would be something I just had to live with. With this product I have been able to have relations not just once but several (as many as seven) times in one day. It seems to have increased my staying power (possibly too well as sometimes I can not reach an orgasm after as much as an hour of continuous sex). Although the side effects can be painful, I have found that Ibuprofin has helped with both the headaches and the muscle aches without any negative side effects. M 37 10 days

 3  ED I experienced SEVERE back pain with Cialis and only later connected the dots to the drug. I effectively overdosed on Cialis, as I described below. Don't try this -- it's a bad idea. The overdose effects of Cialis were disastrous. I had very severe, even crippling back pain. I fell out of bed, screaming in pain. I could barely walk and each small impact on the spine was very painful. Any other side effects were relatively minor in comparison. The back pain did slowly abate and after a month or so, it was tolerable. Six months later, the back pain was pretty minor. I bought 30mg tablets and split them, to save money. I took the dose with grape fruit juice -- bad idea -- it increases the effect (and side-effects) of the drug. I also had tried dosing on consecutive days -- another bad idea. In all, I was at fault for what was effectively an overdose. The ED treatment of Cialis was pretty good. However, because of the experience I described above, I've switched to Levitra. I wish Levitra lasted longer, but there's always a compromise. If you take Cialis, I'd recommend using as small of a dose as is beneficially possible to avoid side effects. It's the safest way to go.

 5  mild ED Started with 20mg and it was pure HELL!! Yea, the boners were there, but the upper backaches that started about 6 hours after taking and lasting for several days really called the value of the drug into question. As I mentioned in the side effects, I could not tolerate the 20mg dosage, so decided to cut the 20mg into quarters and go with a daily dosage...BINGO! In general, like a teenage boy and NO unwanted side effects. I have noted one interesting positive side effect, lowered blood pressure. I have had occasional borderline hypertension for a number of years, but Dr. had me dealing with it through diet. Now with a daily dose of 5mg cialis, my BP has dropped to completely normal levels.
