Cialis Soft

Generic Name: tadalafil, pronounced as ta DAL a fil

Brand Name: Cialis Soft

What Is Cialis Soft?

This medication contains the exact same active ingredient that regular Cialis pills have, which is Tadalafil. The only difference is the absorption process. This is because Cialis Soft is not digested nor swallowed, rather is taken under the tongue (also known as sublingual absorption).

This type of medication is quickly absorbed by the body, which in turn, acts quicker in treating erectile dysfunction. It comes in a variety of flavors including banana, strawberry, lemon, and mint.

Key Information About Cialis Soft

Cialis Soft are oral lozenges that quickly dissolves when placed under the tongue and starts helping you achieve an erection within 10 to 15 minutes upon intake. This happens because of the quick dissolving compounds in it.

Once it is administered, the blood vessels under the tongue quickly absorbs the medication instead of going through the digestive tract. It then goes through a diffusion process called osmosis, in which it hits the bloodstream and gives you instant results.

Regardless of the food you eat, there won’t be a delay in terms of the time Cialis Soft gets into your bloodstream – unlike the traditional Cialis which greatly depends on your eating habits.

Before Taking Cialis Soft

Before you start using this medication, it is important to discuss your medical history with your doctor or healthcare provider, and mention the following:

– Whether or not your smoke, and your alcohol intake

– All the nonprescription drugs, prescription drugs, herbal supplements, and OTC health supplements that you are currently using
– Any serious surgery, lifestyle disease, or ailment

– If you have peptic ulcer

– If you have high blood pressure

– If you have low or high blood pressure

– If you have angina or chest pain

Once you have discussed your health condition to your doctor, that’s the time an appropriate dosage of Cialis Soft will be prescribed for you.

How Cialis Soft Should Be Taken

Always follow the instructions on your prescription label. Most importantly, follow the dosage instructions from your doctor.

10 to 15 before sexual activity, take the medication by placing it under the tongue. The blood vessels under the tongue will quickly absorb Cialis Soft. This is when Tadalafil (the active ingredient) goes through your bloodstream immediately.

You should not swallow Cialis Soft, rather, place it under your tongue and keep it there until it dissolves completely. With proper stimulation, you can expect to achieve and maintain an erection after 10 to 15 minutes.

This medication can be taken with or without food. It is highly recommended that you avoid eating food that are high in fat because it can interfere with your body’s absorption of the medication, thus can make the effects delayed.
