Recurrent use of Tadalafil poses a risk to young people

Many have started using the substance Cialis in search of better results in the gym – but they are not without risks

Recently, there has been an alarming increase in the use of Tadalafil, commercially known as Cialis, among young gym-goers looking for more significant performance results. Although this substance is commonly associated with the treatment of erectile dysfunction in older men, its use among younger men raises serious concerns about potential worrisome adverse effects related to long-term use.

According to Thiago de Melo, pharmacist and researcher in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences, postgraduate professor in the courses of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacology and in the university course of Medicine at the Universidade Vila Velha, Tadalafil works by enhancing the action of nitric oxide, intensifying the vasodilatory response.

“This physiological action is often what attracts athletes and gym-goers, although its main effect is not on the muscles, but on the corpora cavernosa of the penis, as it specifically inhibits an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5,” he reveals.

“The central question is whether this still questionable benefit of the ‘muscle pump’ effect is worth the risks associated with prolonged use of the substance,” he says.

The age group and unnecessary risks

The researcher believes it is essential to highlight the difference between an elderly person who seeks to improve reduced endothelial function at the age of 65, and a young person of around 25 years of age who adopts Tadalafil as part of his daily routine.

“While the first situation may involve specific and specific medical issues, the second raises serious concerns about long-term effects and high doses (20 mg), especially when considering the possibility of developing erectile dysfunction, often followed by the need for surgery invasive,” he warns.

For Thiago, these possible side effects not only contradict user expectations, but also pose serious emotional and psychological challenges.

“The need for surgical treatment in cases of erectile dysfunction related to Tadalafil use highlights a commonly overlooked aspect of these supplements. Young people, often driven by the relentless pursuit of aesthetic standards, can find themselves trapped in a dangerous cycle of addiction and medical interventions,” she points out.

Rethinking the path to health

The fascination with the perfect body should not obscure the potential risks associated with the indiscriminate use of substances such as Tadalafil.

“It is critical to consider not only the immediate benefits these supplements may offer, but also the long-term effects on physical and mental health,” he reports.

For the expert, healthcare professionals have the responsibility to educate on the risks involved, encouraging more informed and safer choices.

“The price you pay to achieve noticeable results in the gym cannot put your health at risk. It is time to reevaluate the path undertaken in an incessant search for standards,” she concludes.
