This is the best information i have seen. Thorough and detailed. You answered all the questions I had.

If you have never had Cialis (Tadalafil), don't bombard your body with 10mg-20mg of Cialis. Take as low as 2-3mg daily. After taking it for a few week or until you feel some side effect, stop taking it for a week to let the side effect subside. Then come back on the routine of 2-3mg daily. Repeat the cycling on/off for 2-3 times, until you don't feel any side effect for a whole week. Then you are pretty much safe to take is long term. For daily intake, it is recommended to keep the dosage under 5mg. By the way, there is one VERY IMPORTANT thing. DO NOT eat GRAPEFRUITS, since it would prolong the half life of the medication and enhance the side effects. It would be much better if you cut or reduce orange and lemon, too. Lime is OK.

Dr. Hart-Pinto, thank you for this information, what a relief I feel after you mentioned loss of vision which I had in one eye that came back to full vision in a couple of weeks. Eye Dr. and Neurologist checked me out not finding anything else wrong. Thank You!

Why caution for people with over 160/90 if the meds were initially developed to treat high blood pressure? Please I want to know this!

[StanJan]

HEY ! From Woodmont Connecticut USA. Can you do one like this for use etc. when treating BPH ? I take 10mg daily and the BPH has "nearly" stopped. Thank you for your videos. They are Very Valuable, especially here in the USA...

Take tadalafil 20mg at monday 8am. Its my 1st time. It had good effects. But after 12hrs up to now saturday, i had muslce pain, legs and lowerback. Really in pain, does the side effects take days?

[HulakariHulakari-juyb]

If I break 20mg into half, is it equal to only 10mg bcos I can’t get 10mg here. Cialis is superior to viagra for me. Am I right to say that 5mg can be taken daily like a supplement?

[mohamednasr]

Do Tadalafil derivatives help reduce prostate enlargement, or are they just a stimulant?

[jimp]

The worse is if you take it and then she doesn’t give you none 😂

[MuhammadArsalan-ep]

I'm taking cialis 5 mg daily and it's my 2nd day, I'm feeling very intense headache, can't sleep at night.
Should I continue or not?

[mhdsid]

Can u guide if low platelets patient can take cialis. Not on any medication but counts varies between 60-120k. Please advise.

Hey Doctor! What is the refractory period while on cialis??

[israellinaresgonzalez]

⁠I have a question . I am gonna start with 5mg dose . When you start taking it, do you have to wait a few days for having the results? If it’s that the case what can you do for having the results since the first day of starting the treatment?

[SecoleusAnlases]

I didn’t see any information on Amazon of selling tadalafil in Canada. Is this thing not allowed to sell online and only allowed in physical pharmacies?

[carltonharrison]

Can you take either medication with high blood pressure meds?

[cbf]

only 5mg are available on my place. Can i take 2 tablet to attain 10mg.

[TT-tdop]

I have trouble with Cialis giving me diarrhea and stomach upset even at low dosage. Is there anyway I can rectify this side effect or will it go away on its own if I take it for a while? It does help ED but not in the mood with stomach upset. Viagra does the same for me.

[Baz]

Does taking cialis then stopping once done with the bottle have negative side effects or?

[sinfulrose]

Very educational thank you
