Cialis is a prescription-only treatment for erectile dysfunction. Like other ED treatments, it takes about 30 minutes to take effect. Cialis differs from Viagra and similar medications, as its effect lasts for up to 36 hours, which is why it is sometimes referred to as a “weekend pill”.

More Information

What is Cialis?

Cialis was designed to treat erectile dysfunction and contains a PDE5-inhibitor as its active ingredient, just like Sildenafil and Viagra. The PDE5-inhibitor in Cialis is called tadalafil. This inhibitor begins to take effect within about half an hour and you should notice an increase in sexual responsivity if sexually stimulated within this period.

Cialis is generally recognised as the second most commonly prescribed medication for erectile dysfunction after Viagra.

One of our doctors will review your details and issue a prescription, provided Cialis is safe and appropriate for you to use. You can use your prescription to buy Cialis at a pharmacy of your choice. If for any reason, Cialis is unsuitable for you, you will be refunded. Sometimes the doctors may ask you to provide additional information before they can safely prescribe the medication.

Do not buy Cialis online without a prescription. Any website purporting to sell Cialis without a prescription is not only illegal, but putting your health at risk for profit. There is no legitimate way to buy Cialis without a prescription, nor is it safe to do so.

How is Cialis different from Viagra?

We are often asked to explain the difference between Cialis and Viagra. Both of these medications work in the same way. The biggest difference is that the effects of Cialis can last for up to 36 hours, allowing you to get an erection more easily within this time frame without having to take another tablet. Viagra's effects, however, will be significantly reduced around four hours after taking it.

Some men consider Cialis a better option as it offers more flexibility with regards to time – it allows them to have more spontaneous, less “planned” sex and also allows them to relax without worrying about the time limit.

Can I take Cialis on a daily basis?

Cialis 10mg and 20mg tablets are not to be used on a daily basis. If your health and suitability allow it, you may be able to take a daily dose of 5mg - you should discuss this option with your doctor or online doctor.

Cialis Dosage

How to take Cialis

Cialis should be taken no less than half an hour before sex to allow the active ingredient time to begin working. You may take Cialis with or without food and you should swallow the tablet with a glass of water. Most men will take one 10mg or 20mg tablet when they know they will have sex on the day.

How to take Cialis for the first time

The first time you take Cialis, you will probably be prescribed the 10mg tablets. If this is the first time you are using a treatment for erectile dysfunction, you may want to allow up to one hour for the treatment to begin to take effect, just to ensure you do not worry if effects are not obvious within thirty minutes. Once you have taken Cialis at least once, you will know how fast it works for you – this will vary between men, depending on a number of factors. If you find that the dosage was too strong or too weak, you should speak to your doctor and discuss whether you can adjust the dosage. Do not exceed the maximum recommended dosage of 20mg, as this could cause serious side effects.

Ingredients

Each Cialis tablet contains the active ingredient and PDE5-inhibitor tadalafil. Tablets are available in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg dosages. Additional ingredients are magnesium stearate, triacetin, lactose monohydrate, hydroxypropylcellulose, iron oxide yellow (E172), titanium dioxide (E171), croscarmellose sodium, sodium laurilsulfate, microcrystalline cellulose,talc and hypromellose.

Cialis Drug interactions

Does Cialis interact with other medications?

Always inform your doctor of any medications you are currently taking when requesting a prescription. This includes herbal remedies, “alternative” medications and even some vitamin supplements. Cialis can interact with certain types of medication, resulting in a range of side effects. You must not take Cialis if you are taking a type of medication called alpha-blockers, certain antibiotics (including erythromycin, clarithromycin or rifampicin), antifungals (including ketoconazole and itraconazole) or antiretrovirals (including ritonavir, saquinavir and amprenavir).

If you are taking any form of nitrate medication, such as isosorbide mononitrate dinitrate or glyceryl trinitrate, you must let your doctor know and he or she will make a decision regarding the risk factors involved in taking Cialis simultaneously. You should also inform your doctor if you are taking nicorandil or amyl nitrates, or if you are taking recreational drugs such as “poppers”, which are also nitrate-based. It is ultimately wiser to inform your doctor of anything you take, whether legal or recreational, rather than risk a drug interaction.

Alcohol and grapefruit can also have an effect on tadalafil levels in your blood, which can increase your risk of serious side effects. Alcohol and all grapefruit products should be avoided while taking Cialis.

Can I drive or operate machinery while taking Cialis?

Cialis has been known to impair spatial awareness and/or cause dizziness in some men. If you plan to drive, operate machinery or engage in any activity that could be affected by the above, ensure you know how Cialis affects you and that you do not suffer from either of the above side effects. Do not take Cialis for the first time and then drive or operate machinery until you are sure that Cialis doesn’t affect your ability to drive.

Warning

If your erection lasts for more than four hours, seek medical help immediately. Prolonged erection (priapism) can damage your penis. Any partial or complete loss of vision or hearing will also require immediate treatment – in case of either of these effects, see your doctor or visit your local A&E department as soon as possible. Do not leave these effects untreated as to do so may cause permanent damage.
