Cialis Super Active represents a significant advancement in the pharmacological management of erectile dysfunction (ED), offering a unique formulation designed for enhanced bioavailability and a rapid onset of action. This medication utilizes the established active ingredient Tadalafil, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, but delivers it in a specialized soft gelatin capsule. This format allows for quicker absorption into the bloodstream compared to traditional tablet forms, facilitating a more predictable and efficient therapeutic response. It is prescribed for adult males experiencing difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.

Features

• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient: Tadalafil (20 mg).
• Pharmaceutical Form: Soft gelatin capsule for oral administration.
• Mechanism of Action: Selective inhibition of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).
• Pharmacokinetic Profile: Rapid absorption with a typical onset of action within 15-30 minutes.
• Therapeutic Duration: Effects can last for up to 36 hours, providing a prolonged window of opportunity.
• Excipients: Includes absorption-enhancing agents within the liquid-filled capsule core.

Benefits

• Enables a more spontaneous sexual experience due to its rapid onset of action, reducing the need for meticulous planning.
• Provides an extended duration of efficacy, alleviating performance anxiety associated with a strict time-limited window.
• Supports improved erectile function, leading to increased confidence and reduced psychological distress related to ED.
• The softgel formulation may offer more consistent absorption patterns, especially for individuals with gastrointestinal sensitivities.
• Contributes to an enhanced quality of life and intimacy within relationships affected by erectile dysfunction.
• A single dose can cover multiple opportunities for sexual activity over a day and a half.

Common use

Cialis Super Active is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, a condition characterized by the consistent or recurrent inability to achieve and maintain a penile erection of sufficient rigidity for satisfactory sexual intercourse. It is suitable for adult men for whom sexual stimulation is still possible. The medication works by enhancing blood flow to the penile cavernosal bodies upon sexual stimulation, facilitating the natural erectile process. It is not an aphrodisiac and does not increase libido.

Dosage and direction

The recommended dose is one 20 mg softgel capsule taken orally prior to anticipated sexual activity. The capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water; it is not meant to be chewed, broken, or crushed. The onset of action is typically between 15 and 30 minutes post-administration. Dosage should not exceed one capsule in a 24-hour period. The medication can be taken with or without food, though a high-fat meal may delay the time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax). A healthcare provider may adjust the dosage based on individual efficacy and tolerability.

Precautions

Prior to initiating therapy, a thorough medical assessment should be conducted to diagnose ED and identify any underlying causes. Cardiovascular status must be evaluated, as sexual activity carries a potential cardiac risk. Use with caution in patients with anatomical deformation of the penis, conditions predisposing to priapism, bleeding disorders, or active peptic ulceration. Caution is advised in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment, as this may affect drug clearance. This medication offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases.

Contraindications

Cialis Super Active is absolutely contraindicated in patients using any form of organic nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate) or nitric oxide donors, either regularly or intermittently, due to the risk of a precipitous and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure. It is also contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Tadalafil or any other component of the softgel capsule. Concomitant use with guanylate cyclase stimulators, such as riociguat, is contraindicated.

Possible side effect

Like all medications, Cialis Super Active can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects are typically mild to moderate and transient, and may include:

• Headache
• Dyspepsia (indigestion)
• Back pain or myalgia (muscle pain)
• Flushing (redness of the face and neck)
• Nasal congestion
• Dizziness Less common but more serious side effects require immediate medical attention and can include:
• Priapism (a prolonged and painful erection lasting more than 4 hours)
• Sudden decrease or loss of vision in one or both eyes
• Sudden decrease or loss of hearing
• Allergic reactions, including skin rash, itching, and swelling
• Cardiovascular events such as chest pain

Drug interaction

Tadalafil can potentiate the hypotensive effects of antihypertensive medications. Concomitant administration with alpha-blockers (e.g., doxazosin, tamsulosin) is not recommended due to additive blood-pressure-lowering effects. As noted, co-administration with nitrates is contraindicated. Tadalafil is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Therefore, potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin) can significantly increase Tadalafil plasma concentrations, and a dose reduction may be necessary. Inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine) may decrease Tadalafil exposure.

Missed dose

Cialis Super Active is not intended for chronic daily dosing and is taken on an as-needed basis. Therefore, the concept of a “missed dose” does not apply. Do not take an extra capsule to make up for a missed one. Simply take one capsule when you next plan to engage in sexual activity, ensuring at least 24 hours have passed since any previous dose.

Overdose

In cases of suspected overdose, standard supportive measures should be employed. The primary expected manifestation of a Tadalafil overdose would be an extension of its vasodilatory effects, including severe headache, pronounced dizziness, flushing, and potentially significant hypotension. Management should focus on stabilizing cardiovascular function. Hemodialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance significantly due to high protein binding. Immediate medical attention is required.

Storage

Store in the original container at room temperature (15°C to 30°C or 59°F to 86°F). Protect from light and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed. Keep all medications out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.

Reviews

• “As a physician, I find the pharmacokinetic profile of the softgel formulation to be a valuable option for patients seeking a faster onset. It has been well-received by my patients who struggled with the longer onset time of standard tablets.” – Dr. A. Miller, Urologist
• “The rapid action is a game-changer for spontaneity. The effects were consistent and lasted as expected, which greatly reduced the anxiety associated with timing the medication.” – Mark T., 52
• “I have a sensitive stomach and often experienced nausea with other ED pills. This softgel version was much gentler and absorbed quickly without any gastrointestinal discomfort.” – Robert L., 48
• “The 36-hour window is its strongest feature. It allowed for a relaxed and natural experience over the weekend without constantly watching the clock.” – James K., 61
• “While effective, I experienced mild flushing and a stuffy nose. These side effects were minor and a fair trade-off for the efficacy received.” – David P., 55
