Cialis Can Help Men With Spinal Cord Injuries (part 2)
Start
The research program was designed with nearly 200 men with an average age of 38 . The were chosed at random as to whether they would get the placebo or the actual Cialis drug using a double blind, parallel and flexible dosage method. The men were drawn from 4 EU nations namely Germany, Italy, France and Spain and the program lasted for 3 months with questions and re-evaluation after each month. After the first month some of the patients who were recieving the Cialis 10milligrams had the dosages increased to Cialis 20milligrams depending on how they were reacting to it, and after the second month the process was repeated with the Cialis doses being reassessed again depending on how the men responded to questioning.
The men in the study obviously had different levels of spinal cord injury varying from complete spinal cord lesion to mild spinal lesion, including thoracic and lumbo sacral lesions. The levels of erectile dysfunction varied greatly too from moderate to acute ED. Overall all the research showed that the Cialis had benefits for most of the patients in all the efficacy endpoints in comparison to the placebo results and there were no serious adverse effects with the Cialis. A few mild adverse effects like headaches (8.5% with Cialis and 4.5% with placebo), and urinary tract infection (7.7% with Cialis and 6.8% with placebo). A few men (2.8% with Cialis and 2.3% with placebo) stopped taking their pills due to reported adverse effects.
Erectile dysfunction is a serious medical condition and can be a indicator of other medical issues and can cause emotional stress and pyschological damage in men and their sexual partners. It is generally thought that as many as 200 million males suffer from erectile dysfunction in the world and the vast majority are simply due to other medical or physical problems such as heart diseases, prostate cancer treatment or diabetes. A few cases are to do with physcological stress and problems only, however experts reckon that both factors can play a part in the ED condition and failure to perform once can aggravate the problem the next time.
Cialis or tadalafil has been on sale in the United States for 2 and a half years and is considered by many doctors and users to be the best erectile function medication. In France it has beaten Viagra to become the best selling erectile dysfunction medicine in the nation. Cialis is a prescription drug and therefore a vist to a doctor is always required, especially as it can react dangerously causing sudden loss of blood pressure, with nitrates that are given to men who suffer from heart problems.
All PDE-5 inhibitors (of which Cialis is one) can have side effects like upset stomach, headaches and muscle ache. In very rare cases some men have reported priapism which is an erection that won’t go away. In this case if it continues for more than 4 hours a vist to a doctor is immediately essential to prevent penile injury. Cialis should not be taken with large amounts of alcohol.
Cialis is generally prescribed in a 10 milligram dose but can be given in lower doses and higher doses for more severe cases. Cialis is manufacturered by Lilly ICOS which was set up jointly by the ICOS Corporation with Eli Lilly to manufacture Cialis for the cure of impotence. ICOS and Lilly are 2 large pharmaceutical companies with interests in a number of pharma sectors.
