What is tadalafil used for?

Tadalafil serves as an economical generic prescription medication intended to treat multiple conditions including erectile dysfunction (impotence), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Tadalafil, similar to its branded counterparts, Cialis® and Adcirca®, falls under the category of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, designed to slow the action of the enzyme PDE5, consequently facilitating improved blood flow throughout the body, particularly to the penis where PDE5’s function is crucial.

How long does tadalafil take to work?

Upon administration of tadalafil, particularly in its lowest-cost generic form, it generally begins to work within 30-45 minutes when taken for erectile dysfunction. However, it tends to reach peak effectiveness approximately 2 hours post-consumption for most men. Like many on-demand erectile dysfunction medications, tadalafil should be taken ahead of planned sexual activity to ensure optimal results.

Alternatively, tadalafil can be utilized daily at a prescribed lower dose. By doing so consistently, users may find their ability to achieve an erection improves significantly after about 4 to 5 days of regular usage.

How long does tadalafil last?

A single dose of tadalafil, when taken for sexual activity, can retain its efficacy for up to an impressive 36 hours. The peak concentration of tadalafil in the bloodstream usually occurs between 30 minutes to 6 hours later, with a median peak being around 2 hours. Given this extended effectiveness, tadalafil provides the flexibility to be taken in advance, allowing for spontaneous intimate moments at any time throughout the day or night.

What is in tadalafil?

Each tadalafil tablet available through Hims contains the active ingredient tadalafil along with 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?

We provide tadalafil at highly competitive prices across various strengths tailored to individual needs. Dosing of tadalafil will also vary based on whether it is intended for daily consumption or as-needed use.

For daily tadalafil, since it builds up in your system to a level of approximately 1.6 times the prescribed daily intake, the 5 mg daily dose from Hims is roughly equivalent to taking an 8 mg dose prior to sexual activity. Meanwhile, tadalafil taken for episodic use is generally prescribed in higher doses because it doesn’t allow for accumulation in the system. Standard starting doses for as-needed tadalafil range from 10 to 20 mg, depending on individual health factors and age.

Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?

Tadalafil is recognized as the cost-effective generic alternative to the well-known brand Cialis®. Originally developed and manufactured by Eli Lilly, Cialis® lost patent protection in 2018, enabling the availability of generic tadalafil. Both tadalafil and brand-name Cialis® are considered safe and effective in treating erectile dysfunction, yet tadalafil is accessible at a significantly lower price point.

Is tadalafil stronger than Viagra®?

Although dosing between Viagra® and tadalafil differs, tadalafil does offer a notable advantage: its effects last much longer, persisting for up to 36 hours, compared to merely 4 to 5 hours with Viagra®.

What are the side effects of tadalafil?

Common side effects of tadalafil (Generic Cialis) may include headaches, digestive disturbances, heartburn, back pain, muscle soreness, facial flushing, and nasal congestion among others. If any of these side effects cause significant discomfort or remain unresolved, it’s essential to connect with your healthcare provider. While serious side effects are rare, they can occur and may include a significant drop in blood pressure, allergic reactions, sudden loss of vision or hearing, and priapism (an erection lasting over four hours). In case of encountering such serious reactions, seek immediate medical attention.

Is tadalafil safe?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is generally deemed safe for the majority of men experiencing erectile dysfunction. However, it’s crucial for individuals with pre-existing health conditions to keep their doctor informed before initiating any erectile dysfunction treatment.

Certain medical conditions or symptoms that may elevate the risk of adverse effects from tadalafil include cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease, previous heart attacks, angina, severe high or low blood pressure, genetic eye disorders like retinitis pigmentosa, pulmonary hypertension, stroke history, liver or kidney dysfunction, significant visual impairment, peptic ulcers, bleeding disorders, anatomical penis deformities, and blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia. These factors should always be discussed with your healthcare provider prior to commencing tadalafil.

Does tadalafil have any interactions?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is compatible with most other medications, barring known interactions. Common drug interactions with tadalafil include nitrates, alpha-blockers, guanylate cyclase stimulators, some HIV protease inhibitors, specific antifungal medications, and certain antibiotics. Notable examples include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and recreational “poppers.” Always consult your healthcare professional if you are taking other medications before starting tadalafil. Caution is particularly warranted when combining tadalafil with other ED treatments, such as sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), or vardenafil (Levitra®).

A note of caution: avoid consuming grapefruit juice while taking tadalafil. The interaction may interfere with the proper absorption of the medication, potentially leading to intensified effects. It is advisable to refrain from grapefruit products for at least 72 hours prior to taking tadalafil.

Is tadalafil a controlled substance?

According to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), tadalafil is not categorized as a controlled substance, allowing for broader accessibility.

Can you take tadalafil every day?

Generally, the 5 and 10 mg doses are suitable for daily use, whereas the 20 mg dose is typically not recommended for frequent daily consumption. This means a daily, low-dose option is available for those seeking to ensure readiness for intimacy without the need for prior planning. This daily regimen promotes a seamless, spontaneous experience in your sexual encounters.
