What is tadalafil used for?

Tadalafil is a cost-effective generic prescription medication utilized for treating several health conditions, primarily erectile dysfunction (impotence), along with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Tadalafil belongs to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which help mitigate the effects of PDE5 and improve blood flow through blood vessels, including the penis, thereby assisting in achieving an erection.

How long does tadalafil take to work?

When taken as needed for erectile dysfunction, tadalafil can begin to take effect within 30-45 minutes, achieving peak effectiveness for most men approximately 2 hours after ingestion. This medication should be taken ahead of any planned sexual activity to ensure adequate time for it to begin working.

Additionally, when used at a lower daily prescribed dosage, tadalafil may result in a heightened ability to achieve an erection at any time once sexual stimulation occurs. After initiating a daily regimen, some users may find improved efficacy within just 4 to 5 days.

How long does tadalafil last?

A single dose of tadalafil taken on an as-needed basis can remain effective for as long as 36 hours, while peak concentrations in the bloodstream typically occur between 30 minutes and 6 hours after taking the medication, with a median peak time around 2 hours. Because of tadalafil’s prolonged effectiveness, it can be taken well ahead of time, allowing for a more spontaneous sexual experience throughout the day or evening.

What is in tadalafil?

Tadalafil tablets available through Hims contain the active ingredient tadalafil as well as several inactive ingredients including croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, titanium dioxide, and triacetin.

How much tadalafil should I take?

Hims offers tadalafil at competitive prices in a variety of strengths tailored to individual needs. The appropriate dose of tadalafil can depend on whether you are taking it daily or as-needed. Daily doses build up in your system to about 1.6 times the daily dose, so the 5 mg daily treatment provided by Hims is comparable to taking 8 mg before sexual activity. Conversely, tadalafil taken on an as-needed basis is typically used at higher doses to ensure it’s effective immediately, with starting doses commonly at 10 or 20 mg, depending on individual health circumstances and age.

Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?

Both tadalafil and Cialis® have proven to be effective and safe for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, but tadalafil is offered at a significantly reduced price compared to its brand-name counterpart.

Is tadalafil safe?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is generally regarded as safe for the majority of men experiencing erectile dysfunction.

Conditions like heart issues, including heart failure, past heart attacks, angina, arrhythmias, high or low blood pressure, retinitis pigmentosa, pulmonary hypertension, stroke, liver or kidney issues, severe visual impairment, stomach ulcers, blood disorders, and anatomical abnormalities of the penis, should all be disclosed to ensure the safe use of tadalafil.

Examples of these medications include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and recreational substances like poppers. Consult a healthcare professional regarding any concurrent medications before starting tadalafil, especially if combining it with other erectile dysfunction treatments, such as sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), and vardenafil (Levitra®).

A note of caution: avoid taking tadalafil with grapefruit juice, as this interaction may impede the drug's absorption and lead to increased effects. It is advisable to refrain from consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice for at least 72 hours prior to taking tadalafil.
