How Cialis Works
Like Viagra, Cialis is known as a PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor. It works by relaxing the blood vessels that flow into the penis. When more blood flows, a satisfactory erection is achieved. Men need to be sexually aroused to get an adequate erection. Cialis is available as daily 2.5 or 5mg tablets for sexually active men. It also comes in 10mg or 20mg pills taken when needed.
