About Cialis(R)(Tadalafil)

 

Cialis is indicated in China for the treatment of men with erectile dysfunction

(ED), and men with both ED and the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic

hyperplasia.

 

Cialis is not for women or children.

 

It is important to note that Cialis is not to be taken with medicines called

"nitrates" such as nitroglycerin, as tadalafil may potentiate the hypotensive

effect of nitrates; and also GC stimulator, such as riociguat. PDE5 inhibitors,

including tadalafil may potentiate the hypotensive effects of GC stimulators;

or if allergic to Cialis or Adcirca (tadalafil), or any of its ingredients.
