Cialis drugs are generally not approved for use in women. The Food and drug administration (FDA) has given its approval to Cialis only to be used in men experiencing erectile dysfunction, for improving their erection function. Cialis drugs increase the flow of blood to the penile organ in men and ease their erection-related difficulties.
After menopause, some women’s sex drive might start declining and they may gradually lose interest in sex. The symptoms of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) include – low sex drive, sexual pain disorder, sexual arousal disorder, and orgasmic disorder. They may think about using Cialis but there isn’t strong evidence that suggests that Cialis can treat sexual difficulties in women.
Function Of Cialis Drugs
Although the function of Cialis drugs is to increase the blood flow to the genitals of men. It might as well do the same in the case of women. Cialis might boost the blood circulation in the genitals of women and give somewhat results, but the results are not guaranteed.
Also, it is not safe to use Cialis in women, since the manufacturer of Cialis pills has designed these pills exclusively for men and the FDA has not approved Cialis use in women. Which makes these pills unsafe for use in women.
FDA has given its approval to two drugs for use in women for addressing their sexual disorders, they are:
- Flibanserin (Addyi)
- Bremelanotide (Vyleesi)
Women struggling with sexual disorders during premenopausal can make use of these drugs. These are prescription-only medications. The dose of these drugs will be suggested by the healthcare provider.
How does Cialis work?
Cialis drugs are PDE5 inhibitors, and their primary function is to inhibit the activity of PDE5 enzymes from clogging the arterial passages of the penile. These PDE5 enzymes present in the smooth muscle cells of the arterial walls are responsible for narrowing the arteries and blocking the supply of blood to the penile arteries.
Cialis pill negates the action of PDE5 enzymes causing the release of a powerful substance known as Nitric oxide (NO) into the arterial walls. Nitric oxide relieves muscle tension and expands clogged arteries through relaxation. The relaxation thus triggered allows chambers inside the penile to fill with blood for the penile to attain an erection. The blood vessels then trap the blood inside under high pressure to hold the erections.
Effects of Cialis on Women
Cialis may or may not work in women. In some women, Cialis might work. Its effectiveness may differ from individual to individual. The active ingredient present in Cialis drugs is known as Tadalafil, which is a PDE5 inhibitor that is clinically proven for boosting the blood flow to the genitals. According to several claims, Cialis might be helpful in relieving some arousal and orgasm-related disorders in women, that is, it can improve their ability to attain sexual arousal, which can increase their interest in sexual intimacy.
According to various sources, when women take Cialis, its effects boost blood circulation to the genitals. The clitoris is an organ that has thousands of nerve endings. In males, erection is the response to sexual arousal, while in females, clitoral sensitivity and vaginal lubrication are the response to sexual stimulus. When blood circulation happens because of the effects of Cialis, the clitoris swells up and becomes highly sensitive, and vaginal discharge happens. This is how Cialis might improve sexual response mechanisms in women.
Are there any side effects of using Cialis in women?
Cialis drugs can give rise to several side effects such as headaches, dizziness, flushing, and stomach discomfort. Apart from these, there is also a possibility of dangerous side effects of these pills in women. This is why, it is better to opt for the drugs that are approved by the FDA for treating sexual disorders in women. Flibanserin and Bremelanotide are safe options compared to Cialis because these are specifically designed for women in their premenopausal or menopausal age to address their sexual problems.
Flibanserin and Bremelanotide can also cause some mild side effects in some women. Some may experience serious side effects like a drop in blood pressure, fainting, and severe dizziness. As per FDA’s recommendations, the combination of alcohol along with both these drugs must be avoided. Alcohol can lead to severe drops in blood pressure, which can be life-threatening.
