Cialis does this by relaxing the muscles and increasing blood flow to particular areas of the body. This helps you to achieve and maintain an erection. Cialis is a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor and all impotence treatments belonging to this category work in the same way. The only difference in them is their active ingredients and the dosage they come in. Some other impotence treatments in the same class are Viagra and Levitra.
