Cialis (tadalafil) treats erectile dysfunction (ED), allowing men to achieve and maintain erections for up to 36 hours.
ED can have a range of symptoms that may affect a man’s ability to get and maintain an erection, such as:
Cialis (tadalafil) is a popular and effective ED treatment. It is known for its long-lasting effects, which can last up to 36 hours, making it a popular choice for those who desire spontaneity and flexibility in their sexual activity.
Cialis (tadalafil) for daily useCialis (tadalafil) is available in 2 strengths: 5mg and 10mg. You can take Cialis (tadalafil) with or without food. However, if you have any upset stomach, you can take Cialis with food. If you want more flexibility in your sexual activity, you can take it with food, such as a snack.
How long does Cialis lastCialis (tadalafil) starts working 30 minutes to 4 hours after taking it, with effects lasting up to 36 hours. It is important to note that it will only work if you are sexually stimulated and you are sexually aroused.
You should not take Cialis more than once a day. If you have any questions or concerns about how to use Cialis, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Do not take Cialis more than once a day, or more frequently than prescribed by your doctor. Cialis can interact with other medications you are taking, causing side effects or reducing the effectiveness of Cialis. If you experience serious side effects or have worsening symptoms after taking Cialis, such as chest pain or rapid heartbeat, call your doctor immediately or get medical help immediately.
Cialis is a prescription medication, and your doctor will decide if Cialis is right for you. Do not start or stop taking Cialis without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to side effects or make you experience other adverse effects.
Cialis (tadalafil) can cause side effects such as headache, facial flushing, indigestion, and blurred vision. If you experience any of these, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Cialis (tadalafil) should not be taken more than once a day. If you have any questions about Cialis or its effectiveness, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Cialis (tadalafil) can cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up. If this happens, you should avoid driving or operating machinery, and do not drive or do anything else that could be dangerous if you experience these symptoms. Talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist before taking Cialis.
Cialis (tadalafil) should not be taken by children or women, as it can cause problems in certain medical conditions. Cialis may make it more difficult for women to use their children’s medicines and cause birth defects in male children. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of your medical condition.
Cialis (tadalafil) comes in the form of tablets, which you swallow. The usual recommended dose is 5mg, taken by mouth, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity.
1.Nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate): Cialis and nitrates both lower blood pressure. Taking them together can cause a significant and potentially life-threatening drop in blood pressure (hypotension), leading to dizziness, fainting, or even heart attack or stroke. It is contraindicated to use Cialis with nitrates or recreational "poppers" (amyl nitrites).
2.Alpha-blockers (e.g., prazosin, terazosin, tamsulosin): Both Cialis and alpha-blockers relax blood vessels, which can lead to excessive blood pressure reduction when used together. This may result in dizziness, fainting, or orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing). If needed, your doctor may adjust the dosage or recommend spacing the medications.
3.Other antihypertensive drugs (e.g., atenolol, propranolol, enalapril, lisinopril): Cialis can enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effects of these medications. While this interaction is usually less severe than with nitrates or alpha-blockers, it can still cause dizziness or fainting in sensitive individuals. Close monitoring of blood pressure is recommended.
Cialis (tadalafil) can interact with certain foods and beverages, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Here are the key drug-food interactions to be aware of:

Whether you can take Tadalafil at the same time as your other medications will depend on which medications you are taking.
You are required to complete a short medical consultation questionnaire that asks for any medications that you are prescribed from your GP and will indicate the medications that can’t be taken alongside Tadalafil.
There are several medicines which should not be taken concurrently with Tadalafil. Medicines which can have potentially serious interactions with Tadalafil include :-
• Any alpha-blocker medicines e.g. doxazosin (Cardura), alfuzosin (Xatral), tamsulosin, terazosin, or Flomax, that you can buy in the pharmacy. (These medicines may be used to treat prostate problems or high blood pressure).
• Isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, or use a GTN spray or tablets
for chest pain or use Rectogesic ointment?
• Nicorandil (Ikorel), used to treat angina
• Cimetidine, used to treat stomach or duodenal (peptic) ulcers
• Theophylline, used to treat asthma
• Antibiotics:- Clarithromycin, Erythromycin and Telithromycin
• Anti-fungals such as itraconazole and ketoconazole
• Seizure medication:- carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone
• Heart or blood pressure medication:- disopyramide, amiodarone, quinidine and procainamide
• Anti-viral medication:- telaprevir, atazanavir, retonavir, indinavir, saquinavir and cobicistat
• Recreational drugs:- amyl nitrate (poppers)
If you are taking any prescribed medication from your GP then you can simply write those in the “Is there any other medical information that you think our doctor should know?” section on the medical questionnaire. Then, our doctor will know whether the Tadalafil is safe for you to take.
Read available consultation questions before starting treatment with TadalafilYou should include the most common medicines that can’t be taken with Tadalafil. You should also include any other medicines that you’re taking as they’ should be taken at the the the the and at the below-referenced medical information questionnaire asks will tell you how the medication can affect how your body absorbs it.
Medicines that should be avoided “ossibility of interactions with Tadalafil.” (See “Is there any other medical information that can’t be taken with Tadalafil” under “Is Tadalafil safe for you”)There are several types of medications that should not be avoided when taking Tadalafil. Lidocaine, a lidocaine cream that’s used to treat seizures, or a benzodiazepines that you can be treated with aturances BVVV V1.5.2021iazepine to treat anxiety or a mental health condition that requires you to be follow up for a prolonged anxiety attack You should also be advised to avoid Tadalafil if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines for erectile dysfunction.
Alternatively, Tadalafil can be taken if Tadalafil isn’t safe for you to take.
If you don’t find the listed medical information questionnaire unexplained, then you’ll want to be sure not to choose the pharmacy that you go to. I found that to be the case for some GP's and I’ve tried to warn you that many pharmacies don’t have a link to Tadalafil and I’ve found that some don’t have a link as far as I’m concerned.
