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. These medicines prevent the enzyme PDE5 from working too quickly and help blood flow more freely through blood vessels in the body, enhancing your overall sexual health.

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 about 2 hours after it’s taken. Like other ED drugs that are taken on demand, it must be taken in advance of when you plan to be sexually active to give it time to start working effectively.

Tadalafil can also be taken at a lower prescribed dose at the same time every day. When taken in this manner over time, you may find an increased ability to achieve an erection whenever you experience sexual stimulation. After beginning a daily regimen of tadalafil, you may be able to enjoy successful intercourse in as early as 4 to 5 days, making it a long-term option.

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 generally occurs between 30 minutes and 6 hours, with a median time of 2 hours. Due to the prolonged efficacy of tadalafil, it can be taken well in advance, allowing for more spontaneous sexual activity throughout the course of a day or night.

What is in tadalafil?

Tadalafil tablets available through Hims contain the active ingredient tadalafil along with other inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, titanium dioxide, and triacetin, ensuring quality and efficacy in every tablet.

How much tadalafil should I take?

We offer tadalafil at impressive prices in various strengths tailored to meet individual needs. Tadalafil dosing also depends on whether it is taken daily or as-needed.

Once-a-day tadalafil builds up in your system to 1.6 times the daily dose, meaning the 5 mg daily treatment offered through Hims is akin to taking 8 mg of tadalafil before sex. Tadalafil taken as-needed for sexual activity is usually prescribed at higher doses since it doesn’t have time to build up in your system. Typical starting doses of as-needed tadalafil are 10 or 20 mg, contingent upon your specific health conditions and age.

Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?

Tadalafil is the affordable, generic counterpart of brand-name Cialis®. Cialis® was originally developed and is produced by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, while generic tadalafil became available in 2018 after patent protection expired. Both brand-name Cialis® and tadalafil have been proven safe and effective for treating erectile dysfunction, but tadalafil is accessible at a fraction of the price of Cialis®, offering a budget-friendly alternative.

Is tadalafil safe?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is generally considered safe for most men experiencing ED. However, men with specific health conditions need to inform their doctor before initiating any erectile dysfunction medication.

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) can typically be taken with other medications unless a known interaction exists between the two drugs.

Examples of these drugs include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and recreational drugs often referred to as "poppers."

It's especially crucial to adhere to medical guidance when combining tadalafil with other ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), or vardenafil (Levitra®).

A disclaimer: avoid consuming grapefruit juice in conjunction with tadalafil.

Typically, the 5 and 10 mg doses may be prescribed for daily use, though not the 20 mg dose. In essence, there exists a daily, low-dose option specifically designed to ensure you are ready for sexual encounters at the drop of a hat.
