Answered by Dr. Matthew J. Mangat (55 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Cialis is safe, if no heart disease.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.

There's no harm in taking Cialis, if you're not taking drugs for heart disease.

You should not be having any liver or kidney disease.
You'll need to get some blood tests, if you've them.

After some days of using it daily,you may have intercourse without it.
It may be possible to have sex, without taking it.
You can gradually stop it.

Wish you good health.

Answered by Dr. Matthew J. Mangat (47 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Alcohol isn't advised with Tadalafil( Cialis).

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Tadalafil(Cialis) has a blood pressure lowering effect.
This gets precipitated with alcohol.

This gives rise to dizziness,faintness,headaches,etc.
So,it's best avoided with Cialis.

Hope you have a good sexual experience.

I take Viagra some times and I have been told Viagra does not stay in your
body too long , So when I take Viagra with alcohol I know I never gotten a bad reaction from combining both with Cialis because it last for up to 2 days I'm little scared .

Let me ask you one more

If I take Viagra 50 mg in the evening and drinking alcohol

can I take another 50 mg in the morning ?

What is the half life of Viagra ?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Matthew J. Mangat (4 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Half-life of Cialis is more than Viagra.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Half-life of Cialis, is around 16-18 hours,whereas that of Viagra is 4-6 hours.

I would not advise you to repeat Viagra, within 12-18 hours, as it has side-effects.

Intake of alcohol, isn't safe with these medications.

Wish you well.

Dear Doc

I have a somewhat of a related question to Viagra etc.

I have been using Viagra and Cialis for many years.
I have started with Viagra 5, 10 mg to 20 mg, 30 , 50 and lately 70 mg of Viagra .
Unfortunately , I have noticed very disturbing thing ,
I take either 15 mg of Cialis or 70 Viagra and my penis does not get hard during
my sexual encounter , or I loose erection .

Not too long ago I would take 50 mg of Viagra and 30 minutes later
I would have a rock hard cock for 1-2 hours , but lately all I get is a red face
slight headache and eyes that seem like they want to come out of my sockets
oh and I forgot to ad a limp penis.

This does not seem normal to me .

Lately, anytime I am having sex I feel I am trying to force myself to cum,
feels like I am exercising, I start sweating like a pig and many times nothing
happens and I go limp .

I am devastated by this because sex is my only hobby I have
I sleep around with many women and I really enjoy it and now
I am feeling horrible that my body maybe changing .


What can this be ?
How can this be cured ?
Please help me with this , It really bothers me .

Brief Answer:
Don't take higher doses viagra on own.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Yes, you're right.
Viagra has the action of relaxing smooth muscles.
Hence,after some time,you'll feel these symptoms,which you described.

Flushing and headache, with loss of penile erection,is most frustrating.
Psychological loss of arousal,having had sex with multiple partners,is also present.

Steps to be taken include :
1. regular exercise for 40minutes-1 hour daily.
2. timely,balanced diet.
3. sleep of minimum 8 hours daily.

With these measures, you'll feel the change in sexual health.
Avoid increasing the dose of Viagra on your own.
It's risky doing that.

Wish you good health.

doctor
Answered by Dr. Matthew J. Mangat (11 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
healthy steps to follow.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Have a health check-up,with your B.P.,and other blood tests also.
Have regular, balanced diet and decrease alcohol intake.

Avoid having sex with multiple partners,as it can contribute to ED.
ED is erectile dysfunction.
If you follow these measures,after some time,you may not need to take Cialis.

Hope your doubts are cleared.
