What Is Cialis Used For?

Cialis has been licensed to treat erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, can be a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. Essentially, erectile dysfunction is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.

More recently, Cialis was also approved for the treatment of the symptoms of an enlarged prostate.

How Does It Work?

Cialis works by blocking a chemical that reverses an erection by allowing blood to flow out of the penis. More blood in the penis means an improved erection. For enlarged prostate symptoms, it is thought that Cialis probably works by relaxing the bladder and the prostate.
