What is Generic Cialis?
Generic Cialis is a treatment for men with erectile dysfunction. This is when a man cannot get, or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Generic Cialis belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Following sexual stimulation Generic Cialis works by helping the blood vessels in your penis to relax, allowing the flow of blood into your penis. The result of this is improved erectile function. Generic Cialis will not help you if you do not have erectile dysfunction. It is important to note that Generic Cialis does not work if there is no sexual stimulation. You and your partner will need to engage in foreplay, just as you would if you were not taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction.

- are taking any form of organic nitrate or nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite. This is a group of medicines ('nitrates') used in the treatment of angina pectoris ('chest pain').

- have serious heart disease or have had a recent heart attack / stroke.
