Cialis Professional (Tadalafil) Buyer and Patient Handbook in South Africa

Cialis Professional (Tadalafil) is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor approved for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction in adult men. It belongs to the class of oral erectile-function agents and is supplied as a swallowable tablet. The product is registered with the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) and carries the same approvals as the reference brand.

Overview

Cialis Professional contains the active ingredient tadalafil, a long-acting PDE-5 inhibitor that improves erectile response when sexual stimulation occurs. It is indicated for men with erectile dysfunction (ED) and is available in 20 mg and 40 mg oral tablets.

Who Should Use Cialis Professional?

• Adult men (≥ 18 years) diagnosed with erectile dysfunction.
• Individuals who are sexually active and seeking an on-demand treatment option.
• Patients who have tried other oral agents without satisfactory results.
• Men whose cardiovascular status has been cleared for sexual activity (see precautions).

Mechanism of Action

Tadalafil works by selectively blocking the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5 in penile tissue. By inhibiting PDE-5, it allows cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cG ) to accumulate, leading to smooth-muscle relaxation and increased blood flow to the corpora cavernosa during sexual stimulation.

Practical impact: Think of it as easing traffic on a busy highway; blood can flow more freely to the site needed for an erection.

Safety note: Tadalafil does not cause an erection without sexual arousal and has a low potential for abuse when used as directed.

Benefits and Considerations

• Long duration: Onset of action occurs within 30 minutes, and effects can last up to 36 hours, providing a flexible window for sexual activity.
• Predictable dosing: Fixed 20 mg and 40 mg strengths simplify regimen selection.
• Generic value: While marketed under the professional label, the tablet contains the same active molecule as the internationally known brand, offering comparable efficacy at potentially lower cost.

Off-label uses (e.g., pulmonary arterial hypertension) should only be considered after professional consultation.

Dosage, Administration, Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations

Recommended Dosage

• Starting dose: 20 mg taken as needed prior to anticipated sexual activity.
• Maximum dose: Do not exceed 40 mg in a 24-hour period.

How to Take

• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• The dose can be taken with or without food; a high-fat meal may delay absorption slightly.

Missed Dose

• Tadalafil is not taken on a fixed schedule, so a “missed dose” concept does not apply. If an activity is not planned, simply skip the tablet.

Overdose

• Immediate action: Seek emergency medical care or call the local poison information centre (e.g., 080 999 999).
• Symptoms to watch: Severe headache, prolonged erection lasting > 4 hours, hypotension, or dizziness.

Special Populations

Lifestyle & Diet

• Alcohol: Moderate consumption is acceptable; excessive intake may reduce effectiveness and increase side-effects.
• Grapefruit juice: Avoid large quantities as it can increase tadalafil plasma levels.
• Exercise: Normal physical activity does not interfere with the drug, but avoid vigorous exertion immediately after a large dose if you feel light-headed.

Precautions and Warnings

• Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to tadalafil or any tablet excipients.
• Assess Cardiovascular Health before starting; men with uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, or severe Heart Failure should avoid use.
• Inform your healthcare provider about any history of priapism, sickle-cell disease, or anatomical penile abnormalities.
• Caution if you experience sudden vision loss, hearing changes, or prolonged painful erections.
