What would an effective Cialis dosage be?
5mg a day
here's an article about cialis and BPH
In other men's health news today, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Cialis as a once-a-day treatment for symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.
That makes Cialis, a popular pill for impotence, the first drug of its kind to also be okayed for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Those symptoms include difficulty in starting urination and frequent trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
The FDA says it's the ninth medicine to be approved to help men with BPH.
A month's supply of 5 milligram Cialis tablets, the dose approved for BPH, costs $134 at drugstore.com. A month's supply of generic terazosin (once sold as Hytrin) for BPH costs $14.00.
In two clinical studies, daily Cialis treatment lowered the score on a standardized test of prostate symptoms by almost 5 points, or around 25 percent from the starting point. In both studies the result was about twice as good as seen for men taking placebo. Another study showed improvements for erections and BPH.
