What is CIALIS?
Cialis belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
It is a yellow, film-coated, almond-shaped, oral tablet prescribed to treat men suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Cialis is not an aphrodisiac and does not increase libido. It requires sexual stimulation to be effective.

Delayed Ejaculation
Delayed ejaculation is the problem of 'over - control' of the ejaculatory reflex.
Men who suffer from delayed ejaculation commonly have no erectile difficulties or lack of sexual desire.
Their problem is therefore not directly connected to 'impotence'. However, in practice, we find that many of those contacting Impotence Australia have questions about ejaculation difficulties and so this leaflet has been made available.
