Cialis Tablets

Cialis, manufactured by Eli Lilly, is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction.

Tadalafil, the active ingredient, works in as little as 30 minutes and stays in your system for up to 36 hours. Often called 'the weekend pill', Cialis lasts a lot longer than other ED medications like Viagra, which lasts for about 4-6 hours. This allows you to be spontaneous without worrying about the effects wearing off.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved Cialis in November 2002. Since then, it has become one of the most widely used erectile dysfunction treatments, helping millions of men improve their erections.

At euroClinix, we prescribe 10 mg or 20 mg tablets specifically to treat erectile dysfunction.

2.5 mg and 5 mg tablets can also be obtained for once-daily use, although only the 5 mg version is available at euroClinix. When taken regularly, these lower doses maintain a steady level of the active ingredient in your body, allowing for more spontaneous sexual activity without the need to plan ahead.

Is Tadalafil the same as Cialis?

Cialis is just the branded version of generic Tadalafil. The active ingredient, mechanism of action, and intended use are all the same. Some people prefer Cialis over generic versions since it is a well-known brand with a reputation for quality and effectiveness, whereas others prefer generic Tadalafil because of the cheaper price tag.

When deciding on treatment, choose whichever is more suited to your needs. If you are unsure which treatment to choose, use our interactive test here to find the perfect fit.

The active ingredient in Cialis, tadalafil, increases blood flow to the penis when you are sexually aroused.

It works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which normally restricts blood flow by tightening blood vessels. By blocking this enzyme, tadalafil allows the blood vessels to remain relaxed, improving blood flow to the penis.

With blood flow improved, men who take this medicine will find themselves able to achieve and maintain an erection, allowing for more success in the bedroom.

Contrary to popular belief, this medicine only works when you are sexually stimulated, so you won’t experience unexpected or random erections after taking it.

Taking this medication for erectile dysfunction provides several health benefits:

Cialis is a proven and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction, as demonstrated in clinical studies.

In one review involving 1,112 men with erectile dysfunction, those taking Cialis reported significantly better results.

According to patient surveys, 81% of men taking Cialis reported improved erections, compared to just 35% in the placebo group.

NOTE: The effectiveness of this medicine may vary between individuals. Factors such as age, overall health, and underlying medical conditions may influence how well it works.

This medication may not be suitable for everyone. When you complete a consultation, our UK-registered doctors will be able to determine if it is safe for you.

Who can take it?

This medication is suitable for men over 18 experiencing erectile dysfunction.

Who cannot take it?

Do not take Tadalafil if you:

• Are allergic to any ingredient found in this medicine
• Have serious heart disease
• Had a heart attack within the last 90 days
• Had a stroke within the last 6 months
• Have low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure
• Ever had loss of vision due to stroke of the eye (non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy)

Cautions

While not necessarily contraindications, some conditions mean the safety of this medicine will need to be determined during your consultation. Tell our medical team if you have:

• Sickle cell anaemia (an abnormality of red blood cells)
• Multiple melanoma (cancer of the bone marrow)
• Leukemia (cancer of the blood cells)
• Any deformation of your penis
• A serious liver problem
• A severe kidney problem
• Had pelvic surgery

Please disclose your health status during your online consultation with euroClinix. One of our doctors will evaluate whether Tadalafil is suitable for you and may adjust your medications if needed.

To use this medicine correctly, follow the dosage and treatment course our medical team prescribes. This ensures the drug's effectiveness and helps avoid side effects.

For best results, take your tablets:

• With a glass of water
• On an empty stomach*

*Cialis can be taken with food if necessary, so long as you avoid fatty meals, as high-fat food can make the medicine less effective.

For more detailed advice on how to take this medication, refer to the patient information leaflet sent with your order.

Dosage

Cialis erectile dysfunction tablets are available in four dosages: 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg.

The recommended starting dose is one 10 mg tablet before sexual activity, but your doctor may prescribe you more or less depending on your individual circumstances. The maximum dose of Cialis per day is 20 mg. Do not take more than this and do not take more than one dose in a 24-hour period.

*At euroClinix, we do not currently stock the 2.5 mg dosage. Consult our medical team to explore all of your treatment options.

When do I take it?

You should take your tablet 30-60 minutes before sexual activity.

You do not need to take it if you are not trying to have sex, and you should not use it more than once a day.

Cialis Once Daily

Take one tablet (2.5 mg or 5 mg) at the same time every day.

How long Cialis works can differ between individuals. Usually, you should start to notice the effects within 30-60 minutes, but results peak at 1-2 hours after you take your tablet.

The effects of this medicine can last for up to 36 hours. Do not take more within this timeframe, even if you plan to have sex again; the medicine should still be effective.

Once-daily tablets should work within 3-5 days of daily use.

While effective on its own, you can make some lifestyle changes alongside treatment to improve your condition further. Follow these tips to get the maximum effect from Cialis.

Consult with a healthcare professional before making significant lifestyle changes

Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats to improve blood flow and heart health, which are important for erectile function. Avoid high-fat, processed foods, as these can contribute to heart problems and worsen ED.

This medication may produce side effects. These are usually mild and should go away in a few days.

Cialis’ side effects are usually mild and should go away in a few days.

Consult your doctor if side effects are persistent or unmanageable.

How to manage side effects

Most side effects, like headaches, flushing, and indigestion, are usually mild and subside after a few hours. To manage these side effects, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol.

For muscle aches or back pain, try not to overstrain yourself. Get plenty of rest and avoid intense exercise for the duration of the side effects.

Mild side effects shouldn’t require medical help, but some side effects are more serious.

To manage common side effects like headaches or flushing, stay hydrated and avoid excessive quantities of alcohol. If your symptoms are persistent or severe, consult your doctor for professional help
