Cialis (Tadalafil)
Nitric oxide is released in the penis during sexual arousal, leading to cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) accumulation. cGMP causes the smooth muscles to relax and the penis’ blood flow to increase.
PDE5 enzyme hydrolyses cGMP. Cialis binds to the PDE5 and prevents cGMP hydrolysis, prolonging an erection.
- The starting dose of Cialis for use as needed is 10 mg. The dose may be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day.
- The starting dose of Cialis for once-daily use is 2.5 mg, which may be increased to 5 mg.
Viagra (Sildenafil)
Viagra has the exact mechanism of action as Cialis.
- The recommended dose of Viagra, 50 mg, may be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The maximum dosing frequency is once per day.
Jaxx
Jaxx is a 2-in-1 treatment combining generic versions of Viagra and Cialis for faster absorption and prolonged effectiveness. Experts at JackHealth combine a unique blend of active ingredients at specific dosages to create tailored medication.
The combination of these two drugs raises some concerns, so the safest way is to obtain a prescription.
