No doubt, Cialis offers what no other drug has offered before. Unlike Viagra, Cialis stays in the blood for much longer duration of time, thereby ensuring prolonged ecstatic hours. However, with soaring popularity, the misuse of the drug was bound to occur at some point of time.
Cialis quickly gained the nickname of 'le weekender' in Paris due to its fabulous results. The party freaks used to pop the pill and in the process, abused the drug. Cialis is strictly meant as a prescription pill for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction in men. It is not an aphrodisiac or a sex pill. Cialis cannot make you high in a party like other drugs (like ecstasy). On the contrary, an un-prescribed use of the drug can do considerable damage to the vital organs of the body.
Even if you are prescribed Cialis by the doctor, you must absolutely stick to the prescription schedule. Never try to gain extra benefits by overdosage. Overdosage will have the same effect as that in case of drug abuse. In case of overdosage, promptly seek medical help.
The manufacturers of the drug have also published certain contraindications applicable to Cialis. For instance, Cialis is not prescribed in case the patients are using nitrates or alpha-blockers. For breastfeeding mothers and pregnant women also, Cialis is not advised. However, it is highly unlikely that the effects of drug could be transferred to the child but even a small chance could prove fatal, if it actually happens.
As with any other drug, Cialis is also not free of side effects. Some of the known side effects of the drug include drowsiness, irritability, gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, sleep disorder and some hormonal imbalance. However, not every user suffers from these side effects. Normally, Cialis is very well accepted by the body. Still, in exceptional cases, any, some or all of these side effects could hamper the Usage of Cialis.
