Treat with Tadalafil
How does the authorized generic of Cialis® – Tadalafil Tablets – treat ED?
When you get an erection, blood flows into your penis and is temporarily trapped there, creating pressure in the surrounding chambers that causes your penis to expand. When you have ED, this process is interrupted.
Tadalafil Tablets increases blood flow to your penis and may improve the ability to get erections and maintain them until sexual intercourse is successfully completed.
Tadalafil Tablets may also improve the overall satisfaction with the hardness of erections.
After sexual intercourse is completed, the erection should go away. But in the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid permanent damage.
You should not get an erection just by taking taking Tadalafil Tablets. Sexual stimulation is required for Tadalafil Tablets to work.
Please see full Prescribing Information and Patient Information and talk to your doctor to learn more.
