Low cost generic Cialis
Cialis lost its exclusive patent in the UK in November 2017, paving the way for the availability of tadalafil, the active ingredient, under a generic name. While 'Cialis' refers to the brand name, 'tadalafil' is the official medical name of the substance.
Generic tadalafil can be obtained at significantly reduced rates, starting from just 40p per tablet, making it an affordable option for many.

About Cialis
- Cialis is a prescription-only oral medication designed specifically for addressing erectile dysfunction in men.
- The name 'Cialis' represents the brand, whereas its active ingredient is 'tadalafil'.
- For optimal results, a 10mg or 20mg tablet should be taken no less than 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity, providing effects that can last for as long as 36 hours.
- A daily regimen of low-dose Cialis (available in 2.5mg and 5mg) is recommended for men who frequently need treatment more than twice a week.
- Before starting any treatment, it is advisable to read the patient leaflet for comprehensive information regarding side effects, precautions, and potential interactions with other medications.
- The patent for Cialis expired in 2017 in the UK, allowing for the availability of generic tadalafil at a more economical price.
The weekend pill
Lilly logo
Cialis, produced by the Lilly pharmaceutical company, is often referred to as The Weekend Pill due to its impressive 36-hour duration of action, which provides leeway for spontaneous intimacy.
The drug has been authorized in the UK since 2003 and was the second erectile dysfunction medication of its type granted approval, following Viagra (sildenafil). Its extended effectiveness combined with the option for daily low-dose administration has contributed to its growing popularity and increased prescription rates.
Generic Cialis
The patent for Cialis lapsed in the UK on 14 November 2017, which has enabled several pharmaceutical manufacturers to create and distribute generic versions—marketed as tadalafil. These generics are medically indistinguishable from the branded version and typically offer a significant cost reduction.
Daily versus Cialis '36 hours'
Typically, men utilize Cialis on an as-needed basis, commonly taking either 10mg or 20mg doses effective for an impressive 36 hours. Alternatively, those requiring erectile dysfunction medication two or more times a week may find it beneficial to adopt a regular low-dose treatment with 2.5mg or 5mg, ensuring uninterrupted erectile dysfunction management without significant fluctuations.
What does it do?
Cialis contains tadalafil, classified medically as a PDE5 inhibitor. Tadalafil works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow within the penis during erections. It is essential to note that sexual stimulation is required for the medication to exert its effects—without such stimulation, the medication remains ineffective. Essentially, Cialis enhances and supports sexual performance and relationship satisfaction.
Additionally, tadalafil may also be prescribed to manage symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate).
Why do men get erectile dysfunction?
Several factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction, including lifestyle choices, psychological state, chronic health conditions, injuries, and surgical interventions. Emotional issues, including stress and performance anxiety, can adversely affect both sexual desire and erection quality. An occasional use of a PDE5 inhibitor like Cialis may effectively disrupt a cycle of anxiety and disappointment. Lifestyle habits such as smoking, recreational drug use, excessive alcohol intake, and even obesity may further exacerbate the condition. Importantly, erectile dysfunction can also signal underlying health issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hardening of the arteries.
Men experiencing erectile dysfunction should confer with their General Practitioner (GP), who will conduct a thorough assessment, possibly including tests, and offer tailored advice.
Why choose Cialis?
Cialis, or tadalafil, is distinguished by its long-lasting effects. While Viagra (sildenafil) generally remains effective for about 4 hours and Levitra (vardenafil) for 4 to 5 hours, Cialis can maintain effectiveness for an impressive 36 hours—hence the nickname 'The Weekend Pill.' It is crucial to note that while erections are not continuous throughout this 36-hour period, they can occur whenever sexual arousal is experienced during this timeframe.
For additional insights, refer to the section on How long does tadalafil last?
Alternative treatment
Other tablets like Viagra (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil), and Spedra (avanafil) are alternative options for managing erectile dysfunction, each available in various strengths and pack sizes after completing a similar medical consultation process.
Taking Cialis for the first time
Available in four strengths: 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg, the lower doses of 2.5mg and 5mg are primarily designated for regular daily use, although the 5mg dose may also serve occasional needs for men who respond favorably to lower doses.
The recommended initial dose is 10mg, taken at least 30 minutes prior to sexual intimacy. If this initial dose proves effective, a subsequent trial with a lower 5mg dose may be appropriate. Conversely, if multiple attempts with the 10mg dose yield lackluster results, escalation to a 20mg dose may be warranted.
It is advised to avoid exceeding the minimum effective dose necessary for your needs. Several trials at a singular dose are recommended before contemplating a switch to a higher or lower strength tablet.
For more guidance, refer to NHS - How and when to take tadalafil.

This high-strength dose can be employed when 10mg is inadequate for desired results.
Does it work every time?
Typically, the response to treatment is consistent and predictable. In most cases, if Cialis has been effective previously, it is likely to yield results again.
However, certain causes of erectile dysfunction, such as physical injuries or nerve damage, may be less responsive to tablet treatments and could necessitate alternative medications or interventions, including injections or penile implants.
Some cases of erectile dysfunction may require specialized treatments beyond oral medications. For men whose condition originates from psychological issues, counseling may be beneficial.
All men troubled by erectile dysfunction, which can be a distressing issue, should seek a professional assessment and guidance from a doctor.
Side effects of Cialis
While most men tolerate Cialis well, some may experience mild side effects. A comprehensive list of commonly reported side effects is available in the patient information leaflet supplied with the tablets.
Some men may notice a bluish or yellowish tinge in their vision post-consumption of Cialis. This is generally harmless and dissipates within a few hours. Such visual disturbances can occur with all ED therapies, including other PDE5 inhibitors.
Other prevalent side effects (affecting approximately 1-10% of users) include headaches, back pain, musculoskeletal discomfort, limb pain, nasal congestion, flushing, and dyspepsia.
In exceedingly rare instances, ED treatments can induce prolonged and painful erections, a condition known as priapism, which constitutes a medical emergency that can result in irreversible damage to the penis. If an erection persists for longer than 2 hours, immediate medical intervention is imperative.
When not to take Cialis
In the assessment process on the Dr Fox website, men must complete an erectile dysfunction questionnaire, which helps evaluate whether treatment is suitable. Men should refrain from using Cialis without a thorough assessment by a qualified GP if any of the following conditions apply:
- Currently taking other erectile dysfunction medications such as Viagra/sildenafil, Levitra/vardenafil, or Spedra/avanafil
- Using nitrates for angina, which includes medications like isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, nicorandil, and glyceryl trinitrate - serious reactions can occur
- Taking treatments for HIV, including Indinavir and Ritonavir
- Utilizing antifungal medications such as itraconazole or ketoconazole
- Using recreational substances like amyl nitrate ('poppers')
- Taking alpha-blockers typically used for prostate enlargement and high blood pressure, such as doxazosin, prazosin, alfuzosin, terazosin, indoramin, and tamsulosin
- Taking antibiotics, like erythromycin, clarithromycin, or rifampicin
- On anticonvulsants, including phenobarbital, phenytoin, or carbamazepine
Dr Fox cannot provide treatment to men with the above-listed conditions.
Cialis should not be consumed simultaneously or within 24 hours of taking Viagra/sildenafil, Levitra/vardenafil, or Spedra/avanafil.

Cialis FAQs
Experiencing erectile dysfunction can signify underlying health concerns such as diabetes, hypertension, or elevated cholesterol levels. Proper examination and evaluations are necessary, and these cannot be conducted online. It's acceptable to obtain repeat supplies of Cialis online, but only following an initial diagnosis and assessment.
Cialis, along with other commonly prescribed ED tablets, is generally effective and well-tolerated. Most men can take them without issues. However, those on certain prescriptions—especially nitrates for heart conditions, along with various other medications—should avoid Cialis. Men with particular medical issues, particularly those impacting exercise tolerance, should also refrain from use. Always consult with your regular physician prior to initiating any erectile dysfunction therapy. Online resources may perform assessments through questionnaires, but these do not replace face-to-face evaluations and regular routine medical check-ups.
Though they function similarly in treating ED by altering blood flow to the penis, they are categorized medically as PDE5 inhibitors. The key difference lies in their duration of action. Viagra remains effective for about 4 hours post-ingestion, while Cialis lasts for approximately 36 hours.
A 10mg or 20mg tablet taken on a Friday evening typically offers effects throughout the weekend until Sunday morning, hence the moniker.
Most men utilize it occasionally, typically up to 2 or 3 tablets weekly, as needed when anticipating sexual activity within the subsequent 36 hours. Men who need Cialis more than twice weekly may prefer to use lower doses, such as 2.5mg or 5mg, taken daily, at a consistent time. These lower doses are specifically designed for daily use and maintain a steady level of treatment.
No, while the action duration for Cialis is longer—36 hours as opposed to 4-5 hours for Levitra and 4 hours for Viagra—most men find that during the active period these treatments work equally effectively when comparable strengths are used. The lowest strengths are Cialis 10mg, Levitra 5mg, and Viagra 25mg, with the upper limits being 20mg, 20mg, and 100mg respectively. Some men discover that one brand may be more effective for them than others, but that’s often an individual preference.
Yes. Cialis was originally patented by Eli Lilly until 14 November 2017. Now, Dr Fox pharmacy offers UK-licensed generic tadalafil at significantly reduced prices.
Only registered pharmacies can supply Cialis as it is a prescription-only medicine. Generally, doctors write the prescriptions, and pharmacies dispense the tablets. Some specialized pharmacists may also prescribe or distribute it under a 'patient group direction.' Under all circumstances, only registered pharmacies are authorized to provide it. In 2023, Cialis Together (10mg tadalafil) was licensed as a 'P' medicine and can be obtained over the counter in pharmacies without a prescription.
The wholesale price is set by Eli Lilly, so pharmacies' charges will vary based
