Cialis Soft (Tadalafil Soft) : Men's Health
Cialis Soft (Tadalafil Soft) is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor used to
treat sexual function problems such as impotence or erectile dysfunction. In combination with sexual stimulation, this medicine works by
helping the blood flow into the penis to achieve and maintain an erection.
This medicine is not intended for use in women or children. This medicine
will not protect against sexually transmitted diseases including HIV
infection. Use “safe sex” practices such as latex condoms. Contact your
doctor or pharmacist for more details.

What is the most important information I should know about Cialis Soft
Do not take Cialis Soft if you are also using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems. This includes nitroglycerin (Nitrostat, Nitrolingual, Nitro-Dur, Nitro-Bid, and others), isosorbide dinitrate (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate), and isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, ISMO, Monoket). Nitrates are also found in some recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite (“poppers”). Taking Cialis Soft with a nitrate medicine can cause a serious decrease in blood pressure, leading to fainting, stroke, or heart attack
If you become dizzy or nauseated, or have pain, numbness, or tingling in your chest, arms, neck, or jaw during sexual activity, stop and call your doctor right away. You could be having a serious side effect of Cialis Soft
Do not take Cialis Soft more than once a day. Allow 24 hours to pass between doses
Contact your doctor or seek emergency medical attention if your erection is painful or lasts longer than 4 hours. A prolonged erection (priapism) can damage the penis
A small number of patients have had a sudden loss of eyesight after taking Cialis Soft. This type of vision loss is caused by decreased blood flow to the optic nerve of the eye. It is not clear whether Cialis Soft is the actual cause of such vision loss. Sudden vision loss with Cialis Soft use has occurred most often in people with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or certain pre-existing eye problems, and in those who smoke or are over 50 years old
Stop using Cialis Soft and get emergency medical help if you have sudden vision loss
