Making sure you get real CIALIS

Making sure you get real CIALIS

Counterfeit (fake) CIALIS may be dangerous. Counterfeit medicines may contain impure or unknown ingredients that are not safe or do not work. CIALIS is made by Eli Lilly and Company. It has been reviewed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and effectiveness.

Some Web sites sell fake CIALIS. Ask yourself these questions; any "yes" answers could mean that the CIALIS being sold may be fake:

• Is the price so much lower than the price at the local pharmacy that it seems too good to be true?
• Is the Web site located outside of the United States, or does it not list an address or contact information?
• Does the site offer to sell medicine without a doctor's prescription?
• Were you referred to the Web site by an e-mail that you did not ask for? (Eli Lilly and Company, the maker of CIALIS, does not send e-mails unless you ask for them)
• Does the site offer "soft tab" or "fast dissolve" CIALIS? (CIALIS only comes in tablets. There is no such thing as "soft tab" or "fast dissolve" CIALIS)
• Does the site offer "generic CIALIS" or a drug with a name that is similar to CIALIS? (Such products have not have been evaluated by the FDA for safety and effectiveness—they could be harmful)

If you are aware of any online pharmacies that you suspect may be selling counterfeit prescription drugs, you can report them to the FDA.

Once your doctor prescribes CIALIS for you, you should be able to get your prescription filled easily at your local pharmacy. Or you may have an insurance plan that allows you to fill your prescription through a mail-order pharmacy.

You can also fill your prescription through an online pharmacy. If you choose to do so, we recommend consulting the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). NABP is a professional association that represents the state boards of pharmacies in all 50 states. This site provides a list of online pharmacies that are certified by the NABP.

Buyer beware

Many online pharmacies are illegal. Beware of online pharmacies that are based outside of the United States. Also watch out for those that offer to provide a diagnosis and a prescription from a doctor who has not examined you. The best way to be sure that you are getting real CIALIS is to get a prescription from your doctor. Then fill it with a licensed pharmacy that you trust.

what to expect?

Knowing how to take CIALIS and what to expect can help
you get the most from your treatment.

CIALIS is the only ED (erectile dysfunction) tablet clinically proven to both work as fast as 30 minutes, in some men, and work up to 36 hours.* With CIALIS, a relaxing moment can turn into the right moment.

Taking CIALIS is convenient. But to get the best results, it's important to know how to take CIALIS and what to expect. The information in this section can help. If you have questions about how to take CIALIS, be sure to talk with your doctor.

How CIALIS can help?

More than 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 years experience ED to some degree. And millions of men are doing something about it.

Every once in a while, men can have problems getting or maintaining an erection that is hard enough for sexual intercourse. With ED (erectile dysfunction), erection problems keep happening.

If you have ED or think you may have it, you are not alone. ED is a real medical condition that affects more than 30 million men in the United States. And you can do something about it.

The more you know about ED, the better.

ED isn't just about being tired or stressed. Chances are that your ED may have a physical cause, such as another health condition or a side effect of a medicine that you may be taking. For that reason, ED may not just go away on its own. However, it can be effectively treated in most men.

Think you might have it? Take the Could It Be ED? quiz.

Learning more about ED — what it is, what causes it, and how it can be treated — can be an important first step toward better sexual health.

CIALIS

CIALIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions and all medications, and ask if you're healthy enough for sexual activity. Don't take CIALIS if you take nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure. Don't drink alcohol in excess (to a level of intoxication) with CIALIS, as this may increase your chances of getting dizzy or lowering your blood pressure. CIALIS does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

The most common side effects with CIALIS were headache and upset stomach. Backache and muscle ache were also reported, sometimes with delayed onset. Most men weren't bothered by the side effects enough to stop taking CIALIS. As with any ED tablet, in the rare event of priapism (an erection lasting more than 4 hours), seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury. In rare instances, men taking prescription ED tablets (including CIALIS) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It's not possible to determine if these events are related directly to the ED tablets or to other factors. If you have a sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking any ED tablet and call your doctor right away.

Individual results may vary. In clinical trials, CIALIS was shown to improve, up to 36 hours after dosing, the ability of men with ED to have a single successful intercourse attempt. CIALIS has not been studied for multiple sexual attempts per dose.
