What is tadalafil used for?

Tadalafil is an economical generic prescription medication that addresses multiple conditions, primarily erectile dysfunction (impotence), along with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure affecting the lungs). Tadalafil, similar to its brand counterparts, Cialis® and Adcirca®, belongs to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which work by preventing the enzyme PDE5 from operating too efficiently, allowing blood to circulate more freely through the body's blood vessels. The penis is one of the key areas where this enzyme performs its function.

How long does tadalafil take to work?

When tadalafil (the lowest-cost generic version of Cialis®) is taken for erectile dysfunction on an as-needed basis, it can begin to exert its effects within 30-45 minutes, but most men experience peak effectiveness approximately 2 hours after ingestion. As with other ED medications meant for episodic use, it should be taken ahead of your planned sexual activity to allow adequate time for it to become effective.

Tadalafil is also available in a lower-prescribed daily dose. Over time, taking it regularly may enhance your ability to achieve an erection simply upon experiencing sexual stimulation. After initiating a daily regimen, many may notice improved intimacy in as little as 4 to 5 days.

How long does tadalafil last?

A single dose of tadalafil taken on an as-needed basis can remain effective for up to an impressive 36 hours. However, peak levels of tadalafil in the bloodstream are typically reached between 30 minutes and 6 hours, with an average time of around 2 hours. Due to the prolonged effectiveness of tadalafil, it can be administered well in advance, facilitating more spontaneous sexual opportunities throughout the day or night.

What is in tadalafil?

Tadalafil tablets provided by Hims contain the active component tadalafil, along with several inactive ingredients: 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 competitive prices across several different strengths tailored to your individual needs. The dosing of tadalafil can vary based on whether it is intended for daily or episodic use.

Daily tadalafil accumulates in your system, achieving a concentration of 1.6 times the daily dose, meaning that the 5 mg daily treatment offered through Hims is akin to taking 8 mg of tadalafil before engaging in sexual activity. Meanwhile, tadalafil taken on an as-needed basis for sexual encounters is often prescribed at higher dosages, due to the lack of time for the medication to build up in your system. Standard starting dosages for episodic tadalafil generally range from 10 to 20 mg, depending on your unique health conditions and age.

Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?

Tadalafil is the economical, generic form of the brand Cialis®. Originally developed and manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, generic tadalafil became accessible after the expiration of patent protection in 2018. Both Cialis® and tadalafil have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in treating erectile dysfunction, with tadalafil typically offered at a fraction of the cost of Cialis®.

Is tadalafil stronger than Viagra®?

While the dosing protocols for Viagra® and tadalafil differ, tadalafil boasts one significant advantage—it has a longer duration of action, lasting up to 36 hours in contrast to Viagra®, which typically lasts only 4 to 5 hours.

What are the side effects of tadalafil?

Common adverse reactions associated with tadalafil (Generic Cialis) include headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back discomfort, muscle soreness, facial flushing, nasal stuffiness, cold-like symptoms, dizziness, visual alterations, and variations in blood pressure. Although serious side effects are uncommon, they can occur, including a drastic drop in blood pressure, allergic responses, sudden vision loss, hearing impairment, and priapism (a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours). If you experience any serious side effects, it is imperative to seek immediate medical assistance.

Is tadalafil safe?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is generally regarded as safe for most men experiencing erectile dysfunction. Nevertheless, those with pre-existing health conditions must inform their healthcare provider before commencing any erectile dysfunction medications.

Certain medical issues and symptoms could increase the risk of adverse effects from tadalafil, including heart complications such as heart failure or a history of heart attacks, angina or chest pain, irregular heartbeat, fluctuating blood pressure, rare genetic eye conditions like retinitis pigmentosa, pulmonary hypertension, history of strokes, liver or kidney disease, severe vision impairment, stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, abnormal penis shape, or Peyronie’s disease, as well as blood disorders like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia.

Does tadalafil have any interactions?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) may be used in conjunction with other medications unless there exists a recognized interaction between them. Common drug interactions include nitrates, alpha-blockers, guanylate cyclase stimulators, HIV protease inhibitors, certain antifungals, and select antibiotics. Examples of these drugs encompass nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and poppers. Prior to starting tadalafil, consult a healthcare professional if you are taking any other medications. Special care should be taken when combining tadalafil with other ED medications, such as sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), and vardenafil (Levitra®).

A word of caution: avoid grapefruit juice while taking tadalafil. The interaction between tadalafil and grapefruit may hinder your body’s ability to absorb the medication properly, potentially intensifying the effects of tadalafil. It’s prudent to refrain from consuming grapefruit or its juice for at least 72 hours prior to taking tadalafil. Understand more about Cialis® and grapefruit's impact.

Is tadalafil a controlled substance?

No. According to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), tadalafil is not classified as a controlled substance, meaning it is not subject to the restrictions and regulations that govern narcotics and other controlled drugs.

Can you take tadalafil every day?

Generally, the 5 and 10 mg doses may be prescribed for daily use, while the 20 mg dosage is not typically recommended for daily consumption. This means that there exists a daily, low-dose alternative specifically designed to ensure you are prepared for sexual activity at a moment's notice. This daily regimen is intended for long-term continuous usage, eliminating the need for meticulous planning.
