Treatment on your terms
Tadalafil can be taken daily or as-needed, giving you back control of your sex life and helping to enhance your romantic engagements.
Inhibits PDE5
Tadalafil is an oral ED medication that works by suppressing an enzyme in the body called PDE5, which can improve erection quality.
Increases blood flow
When PDE5 is suppressed, blood is able to flow more freely through the body—including to the (you guessed it) penis, leading to improved erectile function.
Gets you hard
More blood flow to the penis means harder, more satisfying erections once you’re sexually stimulated, potentially rekindling intimacy with your partner.

How to take tadalafil
Daily
Daily tadalafil is taken once per day and comes in a low dose (2.5mg or 5mg dosage), which gradually builds up in your system. This means that you can be ready for sex at any time instead of waiting for a pill to kick in, providing a sense of confidence.
As-needed
Take the as-needed (or “episodic”) dose of tadalafil when you want to be ready for the bedroom. Take this pill before you plan to have sex (for most men it reaches peak effect 2 hours after it’s taken) and be aware that its effects can last for up to 36 hours. It comes in a higher dose than daily-use tadalafil (5mg, 10mg or 20mg dosages) so it’s best to avoid using it on several consecutive days to ensure safety and efficacy.
Common tadalafil side effects
The most common side effects of generic Cialis® include headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back pain, muscle aches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, cold symptoms, dizziness, vision changes, and blood pressure changes. Your medical provider can help you mitigate or treat these symptoms if you experience them, ensuring your treatment experience is as pleasant as possible.
What is tadalafil used for?
Tadalafil is a low-cost generic prescription drug that is used to treat several conditions, namely erectile dysfunction (impotence), as well as enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), and high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension). Tadalafil (like its brand-name counterparts, Cialis® and Adcirca®) belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors or PDE5 inhibitors. These medicines prevent the enzyme PDE5 from working too quickly and help blood flow more freely through blood vessels in the body. The penis is one of the body parts where this enzyme works, making tadalafil an effective option for those seeking treatment.
How long does tadalafil take to work?
When tadalafil (the lowest price generic version of Cialis®) is taken as needed for ED, it can start working within 30-45 minutes, but reaches peak effect in most men 2 hours after it’s taken. Like other ED drugs that are taken as needed for ED, it must be taken in advance of when you plan to be sexually active to give it time to start working effectively. Additionally, tadalafil can also be taken at a lower prescribed dose at the same time every day, allowing for continuous readiness.
After beginning a daily regimen of tadalafil, you may find your ability to achieve an erection improves over time, often enabling successful intercourse in as early as 4 to 5 days, enhancing intimacy and spontaneity in your relationship.
How long does tadalafil last?
One dose of tadalafil taken as needed for sexual activity can remain effective for up to 36 hours, however peak concentration of tadalafil in the bloodstream usually occurs between 30 minutes and 6 hours, with a median time of 2 hours. Since the effectiveness of tadalafil lasts for a long time, it can be taken well in advance to allow for more spontaneous sexual activity over the course of a day or night, making it a convenient choice for couples.
What is in tadalafil?
Tadalafil tablets available through Hims contain the active ingredient tadalafil and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, titanium dioxide, and triacetin. It's important to know what you're taking to ensure safety and efficacy in your treatment.
How much tadalafil should I take?
We offer tadalafil at great prices in several different strengths based on individual needs. Tadalafil dosing also depends on whether or not it is taken daily or as-needed.
Once-a-day tadalafil builds up in your system to 1.6 times the daily dose, and thus the 5 mg daily treatment offered through Hims is similar to taking 8 mg of tadalafil before sex. Tadalafil taken as-needed for sexual activity is usually used at higher doses because it does not have time to build up in your system. Typical starting doses of as-needed tadalafil are 10 or 20 mg, depending on your specific health conditions and age, ensuring that you receive the right amount for your needs.
Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?
Tadalafil is the affordable, generic version of brand-name Cialis®. Cialis® was originally created and is produced by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, and generic tadalafil became available in 2018 after the patent protection ended. Both brand-name Cialis® and tadalafil have been shown to be safe and provide the same treatment effects for erectile dysfunction, but tadalafil is available for a fraction of the price of Cialis®, making it a cost-effective alternative for those seeking treatment.
Is tadalafil stronger than Viagra®?
While dosing for Viagra® and tadalafil are different, tadalafil does have one significant advantage: it lasts longer than Viagra® (up to 36 hours rather than 4 to 5). The extended duration of action can provide more opportunities for intimacy without the pressure of timing medications.
What are the side effects of tadalafil?
Common side effects of tadalafil (Generic Cialis) include headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back pain, muscle aches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, cold symptoms, dizziness, vision changes, and blood pressure changes. If any of these side effects bother you or don’t go away, it's essential to contact your healthcare provider for guidance. Serious side effects are rare, but they may include a life-threatening drop in blood pressure, allergic reaction, sudden vision loss, hearing loss, and priapism (an erection lasting four hours or longer). If you experience any of these serious side effects, seeking medical help immediately is crucial to ensure your safety.
Is tadalafil safe?
Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is generally safe for most men with ED, but men who have other health conditions should alert their doctor prior to starting any erectile dysfunction medication. Some medical conditions and symptoms that may predispose someone to adverse effects from tadalafil include heart problems like heart failure or a previous heart attack, angina or chest pain, irregular heartbeats, high or low blood pressure, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare genetic eye disease), pulmonary hypertension, stroke, liver disease, kidney disease, severe vision loss, stomach ulcers, bleeding problems, deformed penis shape or Peyronie’s disease, experience with erections lasting more than 4 hours, or blood cell disorders like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia. Discussing your health history with your provider can help ensure a safe and effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Does tadalafil have any interactions?
Tadalafil (generic Cialis) can be taken with other medications unless there is a known interaction between the two drugs. Common drug interactions with tadalafil include nitrates, alpha-blockers, guanylate cyclase stimulators, HIV protease inhibitors, some antifungals, and some antibiotics. Examples of these drugs include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and poppers. It's crucial to seek medical advice from a healthcare professional if you are taking any other medications prior to starting tadalafil, especially when combining tadalafil with other ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), and vardenafil (Levitra®) to prevent any harmful effects.
A disclaimer: don’t take tadalafil with grapefruit juice. The tadalafil-grapefruit interaction can cause your body to not absorb the drug correctly, potentially leading to heightened effects of tadalafil. It's a good idea to avoid eating or drinking grapefruit for 72 hours before taking tadalafil to ensure safe and effective results. Learn more about Cialis® and grapefruit juice interaction for better awareness of your health.
Is tadalafil a controlled substance?
No. According to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), tadalafil is not considered a controlled substance, which means it is more accessible for those who need it.
Can you take tadalafil every day?
Typically, the 5 and 10 mg doses may be prescribed daily, but not the 20 mg dose. In other words, there is a daily, low-dose option that is specifically meant to ensure you are ready for sex at the drop of a hat, allowing for a planning-free experience. This daily option helps facilitate a more regular sexual routine, enhancing intimacy without the stress of timing doses.
