What’s the Best Cialis Dosage for Me?
Cialis is available in three different dosages in Ireland: 5mg, 10 mg, and 20mg. The best dosage for you will depend on different factors. When you get a prescription for Cialis, your doctor will recommend the dosage that is right for you.
What are the dosages of Cialis?
The main ingredient in Cialis is Tadalafil, a PDE5-inhibitor just like the other erectile dysfunction treatments available.
The tablets come in 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg tablets.
Which is the right dosage for me?
The recommended starting dosage of Cialis is 10mg, and it’s likely that you’ll be prescribed 10mg when you first start taking it. If you are not getting the desired result from this dosage, then, a doctor can prescribe you the higher 20mg dosage. Since Cialis remains functional for up to 36 hours, you may feel the effects over a longer period of time than with other ED medication such as Viagra.
The lower dosage, Cialis 5mg, was designed for daily use. This is also called Cialis Daily, and a doctor will check if it is safe for you to take Cialis 5mg every day before prescribing this medication. The benefit of Cialis Daily is that it allows your erections to become more spontaneous.
When should you switch dosage?
If your current prescribed dosage of Cialis or Cialis daily doesn’t work, then you should speak to your GP or one of our doctors. They can prescribe another dosage or another medication to treat erectile dysfunction.
The doctor may also recommend switching to Cialis Daily if you’re having sex more than 3 times per week.
If you’re getting any side effects, you can reduce your dosage to see if that works better for you.
Which dosage is most likely to work?
The 20mg dosage of Cialis is the one that shows a higher success rate due to the higher amount of Tadalafil that is in each tablet.
This, however, doesn’t mean it is the best dose for everyone. As with any medication, a higher dose increases the likelihood of getting unwanted side effects.
How likely is it to get side effects?
The usual recommended dosage for people that are starting to take Cialis is 10 mg. You can also start with 5mg for Cialis Daily if you’re planning on having sex more than 3 times per week.
Taking a daily low-dosage pill may reduce side effects, but these can still appear. The most common side effects for Cialis Daily are headaches, muscle pain, indigestion, and back pain.
If the first pill doesn’t work, don’t take any more for at least 24 hours. Taking too many tablets can cause severe side effects. If your current dosage is not working, talk to your doctor so they can prescribe a higher dosage or a different treatment.
How do I make the most of my current dosage?
There are a few things you should try to increase the effectiveness of Cialis:
- Take it on an empty stomach - Having a big meal, especially a fatty one, can delay the effects of Cialis. Taking it on an empty stomach can make its effects appear faster.
- Cut the alcohol - Alcohol reduces your ability to get and maintain an erection. It’s also a common cause of erectile dysfunction.
- Start a healthy diet - Improving your diet can play a big part in improving your ability to get an erection without medication, and can also improve the effectiveness of medications such as Cialis.
- Exercise frequently - Just like a healthy diet, an active lifestyle can make big positive changes in your sex life.
