200mg Cialis: Efficacy and Risks

Cialis 200mg isn’t a standard dosage. While higher doses might seem appealing for prolonged effectiveness, this significantly increases the risk of side effects. Many men find the standard 20mg dose highly effective. Consider starting with the recommended dosage and consulting a doctor before increasing it.

Increased Efficacy? Not Necessarily.

While a higher dose *might* result in a longer duration of action for some individuals, research doesn’t definitively support a substantial increase in efficacy beyond the recommended dosages. The added benefit often doesn’t outweigh the increased risk of side effects.

Elevated Risk Profile

Side effects like headaches, back pain, muscle aches, nasal congestion, and flushing become more probable with higher doses. More serious, though rare, side effects such as vision changes, hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism) also present a greater risk at 200mg. Always seek immediate medical attention for prolonged erections.

Individual Responses Vary

Individual responses to Cialis vary widely. What works for one person might not be suitable for another. A doctor can help determine the most appropriate dosage based on individual health conditions and medical history, ensuring both efficacy and safety.

Dosage Adjustments and Alternatives

Before considering a higher dose, discuss alternative treatment strategies with your physician. These might include changing the timing of medication or exploring different erectile dysfunction treatments.
