How Cialis Works
Cialis works by blocking PDE5, a chemical in the body that reverses an erection. When this chemical is blocked, the arteries in the penis are able to open wider so that more blood can flow into the penis. Cialis can start working in as little as 30 minutes, and can work up to 36 hours from the time a dose is taken. Because Cialis has no effect on the chemicals that cause an erection (it simply keeps them in the penis longer), it does not work without sexual stimulation.

Who Should Not Take Cialis
Cialis should never be taken without a prescription. Although it is commonly bought on the street and on the internet, Cialis can be dangerous if taken with certain other medications or if a patient has certain pre-existing health conditions. Particularly, Cialis can be extremely dangerous if taken by people using nitrate drugs, often prescribed for chest pains (angina).
