Cialis 5mg

Description

What is Cialis 5mg?

Cialis 5mg contains the active ingredient tadalafil and is prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and sometimes benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men.
It works by enhancing blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.

The 5mg dose is typically used as a daily low-dose therapy, offering consistent support for sexual activity and BPH symptom relief with minimal side effects.

How Cialis 5mg Works

Cialis inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which increases cyclic GMP (cGMP) in penile tissue. This relaxes smooth muscles, allowing improved blood flow to the penis.
The pharmacology of tadalafil is explained in Cleveland Clinic’s ED medication guide.
