FAQ’S about Cialis
What is Cialis used to treat?
Cialis is approved to treat men who find it difficult to achieve and keep an erection long enoughfor satisfactory sexual intercourse. It works to bring about erections that can be sustained so thatthe partners can enjoy the sex act.
 How does Cialis work?
Cialis works by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, which is a chemical that the body normallyreleases into the penis during sexual arousal. This allows for increased blood flow into the peniswhich results in an erection. 
Cialis
is not an aphrodisiac and neither can it bring about anerection on its own; sexual stimulation is essential for an erection to occur. Nitric oxide is produced during sexual stimulation which in turn increases the production of cGMP in the smooth muscle cells of the corpora cavernosa, leading to an erection. The longer the cyclic GMP stays in the penis, the greater the chance for increased blood flow to the penis,thereby generating an erection. Cialis works to enhance a naturally occurring process.
 How is Cialis different from the currently approved products for erectile dysfunction (ED)?
