Question 3

Same time each day.: Take Cialis at approximately the same time every day. The important point is that you have to be consistent. Chose a time that is best for you and stick with it. Reduce alcohol intake while on Cialis (watch for dizziness/ headaches). Report any sudden decrease or loss of hearing. Please keep your appointments with your doctor for continuous care.Take care.

Question 5

how long before daily cialis, 5mg, affects bph?

Accepted Answer

Correction: I was mistaken about my first draft of this answer; my apologies. Cialis showed improvement beginning almost immediately; 60% of total improvement was seen at 1 week.  By 4 weeks, almost 100% of available improvement was seen with no further improvement beyond 8 weeks. The improvement was approximately double that of placebo. Sorry for my earlier, inaccurate reply.

Question 6

20 year old male, good health. would cialis negatively effect the prostate if there is no prostate issue since used to treat bph? used for ed.

Accepted Answer

Your question: No cialis should not negatively affect the prostate in someone 20 years old

Question 7

i take rapidflo for bph. can i take testosterone and/or cialis also?

Accepted Answer

Rapaflo (silodosin)?: I assume you mean rapaflo (silodosin). Testosterone is ok, if you're deficient. Talk with your doctor about Cialis as the three medications for erectile dysfunction can have dangerous interactions with medications such as rapaflo (silodosin).

Question 8

is cialis safe in a young man? was prescribed for peyronies by a peyronie's specialist. noticed was meant for bph.will this negatively effect prostat?

Accepted Answer

Safe: Cialis is safe for a young man  and is a FDA approved for both BPH and erectile dysfunction. Won't harm your prostate.

Question 9

medication(s) to take for bph other than flomax, (tamsulosin) jalyn, finasteride, cialis and avdart.  please advise.

Accepted Answer

Same groups: You listed alpha blocker(flomax or tamsulosin),5-alpha reductase inhibitor(finasteride,dutasteride or avodart),combination of both groups(Jalyn)and PDE5 inhibitor(cialis).Any other drugs I give you will be in those groups.If none has helped you,talk to your urologist about TUR prostate or other surgical options.TUR is the "gold standard" with which other surgical options are compared.Good luck.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No: Although Cialis is the only ed med approved for bph, 25mg daily viagra (sildenafil) should have similar mechanism of action.
