Cialis also known as Tadalafil is in a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase inhibitors that also include Sildenafil (Viagra) and Vardenafil (Levitra). Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Cialis in 2003 for the treatment of men who experience sexual problem like difficulty in achieving and maintaining an erection.
Cialis, an oral treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in men is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) – specific phophodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5). It’s available in the form of tablets which contains 5, 10 or 20 mg of Tadalafil and inactive ingredients like croscarmellose sodium, hydroxpropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulphate, talc, titanium dioxide and triacetin.
There are variants of Cialis available in the market. They are called generic Cialis or generic Tadalafil. They have the same composition as the branded Cialis. The generic drug tends to look different as FDA doesn’t allow it to look the same. Colors, flavors and certain other inactive ingredients may be allowed to be different.
Apcalis, Forzest and generic Tadalafil, all are forms of generic Cialis. Before buying generic Cialis, one should three to four web sites to ensure that you are getting the right product and the right price.
Forzest is manufactured by Ranbaxy and has the same composition of Tadalafil as Cialis. It is generally available as generic Tadalafil. It claims to be as effective as Cialis. Like Cialis, generic Cialis or Forzest can cause the same side effects. These effects are usually mild to moderate in nature and usually don’t last longer than a few hours. Some of these side effects are more likely to occur only when a higher dose is consumed.
The most common side effects of Tadalafil or generic Cialis are headache, flushing of the face and upset stomach. Less common side effects that may occur are temporary changes in color vision (such as trouble in identifying the blue and green objects), eyes being more sensitive to light or blurred vision.
Forzest can cause mild and temporary lowering of blood pressure. You will need to have a thorough medical exam to diagnose your Erectile Dysfunction and to find out if you can safely take Forzest alone or even take it with your other medicines.
