How to take tadalafil
Daily
The daily use of tadalafil is typically administered once per day in a lower dose (2.5mg or 5mg), allowing the medication to build gradually in your system. This systematic buildup means you are prepared for sexual activity whenever the opportunity arises, eliminating the need to wait for a pill to take effect.
As-needed
For the as-needed (or “episodic”) dosing of tadalafil, take the pill before you anticipate sexual activity. Typically, men will find that the peak effect is reached approximately two hours after ingestion, and the effects can last for as long as 36 hours, allowing for spontaneous encounters. This option generally comes in higher doses (5mg, 10mg, or 20mg), and it is advisable to avoid using it on consecutive days.
Common tadalafil side effects
Those using generic Cialis® may experience side effects including headaches, stomach upset, back pain, muscle aches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, common cold symptoms, dizziness, changes in vision, and fluctuations in blood pressure. If any side effects are concerning or persistent, reach out to your healthcare provider for assistance.
What is tadalafil used for?
Tadalafil is a cost-effective, generic prescription medication utilized to treat various conditions including erectile dysfunction (impotence), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension—a high blood pressure condition that affects the lungs. Like its branded counterparts, Cialis® and Adcirca®, tadalafil is classified as a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, which means it inhibits the enzyme PDE5 and enhances blood flow through the body's blood vessels, particularly to the penis.
How long does tadalafil take to work?
When taken as needed for treating erectile dysfunction, tadalafil can start to take effect within 30-45 minutes, reaching its peak effectiveness in most men around two hours post-consumption. For optimum results, users should consider taking tadalafil before engaging in any sexual activities. Moreover, if taken daily and at a consistent lower dose, you may notice an improved readiness to achieve an erection within just four to five days.
How long does tadalafil last?
One dosage of tadalafil can remain effective for sexual activity for as long as 36 hours. The peak concentration of the drug in the bloodstream typically occurs within 30 minutes to six hours, with an average around two hours. Thanks to its prolonged effectiveness, tadalafil can be taken well in advance to facilitate more spontaneous sexual activities throughout the day or night.
What is in tadalafil?
The tadalafil tablets available through Hims contain the active ingredient tadalafil as well as several inactive components: 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 affordable prices with various strengths to cater to individual needs. The dosing of tadalafil is contingent upon whether it is taken daily or on an as-needed basis. Daily use allows for a gradual increase to a system level 1.6 times the daily dose, making the 5 mg daily treatment comparable to taking 8 mg for immediate sexual activity. For as-needed use, higher doses are recommended due to the lack of time for the drug to build up in your system, with common starting doses being 10 or 20 mg based on health conditions and age.
Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?
Tadalafil is the budget-friendly, generic alternative to the brand-name medication Cialis®, which was initially developed and marketed by Eli Lilly. After the patent for Cialis® expired in 2018, generic tadalafil became available. Both tadalafil and Cialis® have demonstrated efficacy and safety in treating erectile dysfunction, but tadalafil comes at a significantly lower cost.
Is tadalafil stronger than Viagra®?
While the dosing between Viagra® and tadalafil may vary, tadalafil holds a key advantage: it offers a much longer duration of effectiveness, lasting up to 36 hours compared to Viagra®’s 4-5 hours.
What are the side effects of tadalafil?
Commonly reported side effects for tadalafil (generic Cialis) include headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back pain, muscle aches, flushing of the face, nasal congestion, cold-like symptoms, dizziness, visual disturbances, and variations in blood pressure. While serious side effects are rare, they may include a significant drop in blood pressure, allergic reactions, sudden visual or auditory loss, and prolonged erections (lasting over four hours). If you encounter any severe side effects, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately.
Is tadalafil safe?
Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is considered safe for the majority of men with erectile dysfunction. However, individuals with pre-existing health conditions should consult their healthcare provider before initiating any erectile dysfunction treatments.
Medical conditions that may heighten the risk of adverse effects from tadalafil include heart issues such as heart failure or prior heart attacks, angina, arrhythmias, high or low blood pressure, genetic eye diseases like retinitis pigmentosa, pulmonary hypertension, history of stroke, liver or kidney disease, severe vision impairment, ulcers, blood disorders such as leukemia or sickle cell disease, and any history of prolonged erections lasting more than four hours.
Does tadalafil have any interactions?
Tadalafil can generally be combined with other medications unless known drug interactions exist. Common interactions involve nitrates, alpha-blockers, guanylate cyclase stimulators, HIV protease inhibitors, certain antifungals, and select antibiotics. Notable examples include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and poppers. Always seek consultation from a healthcare professional before taking tadalafil alongside other drugs, especially other ED medications such as sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), or vardenafil (Levitra®).
A word of caution: it's advisable not to consume grapefruit juice with tadalafil, as it can negatively impact the drug's absorption, potentially leading to intensified effects. Avoiding grapefruit 72 hours prior to taking tadalafil is recommended for optimal results.
Is tadalafil a controlled substance?
According to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), tadalafil is not classified as a controlled substance.
Can you take tadalafil every day?
While 5 and 10 mg doses are typically approved for daily use, the 20 mg dose is generally not recommended for everyday consumption. The daily, low-dose option is specifically designed to guarantee spontaneity and readiness for sexual activity without the need for prior planning.
