Cialis is a common Erectile Dysfunction (ED) medicine. It can have mild to severe side effects in individuals.
Some common side effects of Cialis may include nausea, dizziness, and headache.
The widespread consumption of Cialis for treating ED in men has led to the rise of another question. Does Cialis cause infertility in men?
Infertility in males may prevent them from having a child with their partner. They may engage in frequent unprotected sex but may be unable to conceive a child for a year or longer.
This can be a serious problem for many couples.
Let us understand the basics of Cialis and if it can cause infertility.

The basics of Cialis
Cialis is an ED pill containing Tadalafil as the active salt. Tadalafil pills are commonly called ‘weekend pills.’
This is because of the long-lasting effects of Tadalafil tablets. The effects may last up to 36 hours.
Tadalafil pills such as Cialis may show effects within 15 minutes to 2 hours of consumption.
Food and alcohol do not affect the absorption of Tadalafil. It means you may take the pill as needed, and there is no need to plan.
Tadalafil in Cialis is a Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor. It works by blocking the effect of PDE-5 enzymes in the penile region.
This will allow the blood vessels to relax and increase the blood flow to the penis. An increase in blood flow to the penile region helps in achieving and maintaining an erection.
You should remember that Cialis is meant for treating Erectile Dysfunction in males. It might be unsuitable for females who should not use it.
