Should You Take Cialis On Daily or Per Need Basis?
What is Cialis?
Tadalafil under the name of Cialis is used to treat erectile dysfunction and impotency in men. This drug is being used for decades in order to recover potency and sexual performance in males.
The best part of this drug is its low dose that’s why it is considered a safe medicine and approved for daily use or whenever required, so you can enjoy intercourse at any time. This drug is effective most of the time.
The Cialis drug doesn’t show results immediately. Many users reported that when Cialis is used for the first time, it was unproductive. If you are considering Cialis, you should know that Cialis delivers results after use for 3-5 days or in rare circumstances after an entire week. The daily use of Cialis can make you immune to this drug as a result body will stop reacting to the normal dose you take and you have to increase the dose to get the desired results.
Initially the dose is started with 2.5 mg but if it is not effective for you then dose can be increased to 5 mg. Most people use it on daily basis because of low risk associated with this drug.

If you are using Cialis on daily basis then you should consider following things
