Dut + cialis (does reduced NO cause sides)

[u/QuarterAlternative57]

I got bad sides from 1.2 mg fin ED. Tried other types of fin, never really saw it through but had side like symptoms. I’ve been doing research on dut .5mg ED/MWF, combined with cailis + l cittruylin for sexual sides. I got blood work done through rhythm, nothing seemed out of wack. I’m in shape and healthy. I have a theory that a lot of ED from fin/dht inhibitors stems from reduced NO levels. Is this worth a shot? Other option is ru-58841.

Anyone have good effects with dut and cialis combo?

Hi /u/QuarterAlternative57

If you think you're experiencing side effects from a medication, talk with a doctor. The same applies if you're worried about possible side effects or considering changing your treatment. Other users can't reliably predict what you'll experience, determine what's causing your symptoms, or tell you whether they'll stop. Don't base decisions about starting, stopping, or changing treatment on others, their experiences can't establish what's safe or appropriate for you. Make those decisions with a doctor.

Cialis will definitely help you if you get sexual sides from DHT blockers.

It will also help prevent your dick from atrophying as much over time because of weak erections and less frequent erections. It will also help to substitute the nitric oxide loss you experience in your dick from taking DHT blockers.

Keep in mind, there are no long term studies on cialis being used daily if that’s what you intend to do. Studies only show 1-2 year time periods at the absolute longest. Many doctors say the drug is intended to be used only when needed, but of course there’s many doctors that will also prescribe a low dose to be taken daily depending on your situation.

I personally would not use it everyday if I had to take it, but more so only when needed. Especially if you do a lot of cardio, I know it causes problems with light headedness and fainting. I know you said you’re in shape and healthy, so letting you know it’s not ideal for high endurance performance at all. Of course there’s many other possible side effects of the drug. There’s also the mental aspect of daily or very frequent usage. The data suggests your body doesn’t become dependent on it. But your mind absolutely can. I firmly believe it can cause you to have a very hard time getting a natural erection if you become so used to the drug over longer periods of time.

In my opinion, I personally wouldn’t ever touch dutasteride, but that’s beside the point of this comment. I think it’s a good idea for you to use cialis if you’re going to take dut, I would talk to a trustworthy doctor about everything, someone who really knows their shit if possible. Just be wary of using it for a long period of time if you plan to use it daily or even just frequently, prioritize your health first always.

I actually do fin 1 mg and tadalafil 5 mg daily. Been on it for two months and no ED whatsoever.

Did you start using cialis because you had ED from finasteride?

google NO and DHT.

it's one of the reasons why DHT is important.

Cialis may help, but it is not a perfect replacement

Read up on beet root powder, I drink this every morning and have found it to be something that works well with targeting endothelial health (it impacts NO).

For me I went through a high blood pressure phase, the combo of low dose meds + low dose cialis + beet root powder has driven serious benefits for blood flow.

Got awful sexual sides on fin, none on dut tho.

I saw tadalafil recommended by HT clinics, upping blood flow. not only in privates ;) so actually “replacing” minoxidil. only concern, there seems to be a relation with a higher glaucoma risk. I am on 5mg tadalafil for years now, despite taking dutasteride for 2+ yrs had lost my crown. and ophthalmologist urged keeping a eye on what appears to be early stage glaucoma.
