Treating migraine with Ginger
The effectiveness of ginger powder in the treatment of common migraine attacks is statistically comparable to sumatriptan.
Comparison Between the Efficacy of Ginger and Sumatriptan in the Ablative Treatment of the Common Migraine
This is the surprising conclusion of a 2013 medical research study (Maghbooli and colleagues).
But before all migraine sufferers rush out to stock up on ginger, there remain some unanswered questions:
- Is this really true? Could a herbal remedy be as effective for an episode of acute migraine, as a tried and tested, popular, anti-migraine drug such as sumatriptan, which has transformed the lives of millions of migraine sufferers?
- Should migraine sufferers take ginger instead of sumatriptan?
How long does tadalafil last?
Keeping it simple, tadalafil lasts for up to 36 hours and sometimes longer, and has the longest duration of action of all the PDE5 inhibitors. This compares to sildenafil (Viagra) which lasts for around 4 hours.
In addition, absorption of tadalafil is not affected by food, so it can be taken at any time before, during, or after a meal.
Tadalafil is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. It is a type of PDE5 inhibitor. Tadalafil is a generic or drug name – ‘Cialis’ is a branded form of tadalafil.
36 hours – really?
Yes, although this does not mean a continuous erection for 36 hours. Like all PDE5 inhibitors, tadalafil requires sexual stimulation to work – ie: you only get an erection when you want to.

Tadalafil is the medical – or generic – name for the Cialis brand of erectile dysfunction medicine. Tadalafil works in a similar way to sildenafil (Viagra), however whereas sildenafil lasts for around 4 hours, tadalafil remains active for up to 36 hours, hence why it is sometime called the weekend pill. This does not mean you will have an erection for 36 hours, only when required, eg: when sexually aroused.
Most men take tadalafil as and when they need it 30 minutes or more before sexual activity. The usual starting dose is tadalafil 10mg, which – depending on effectiveness – may be increased to 20mg or decreased to 5mg.
