Treatment on your terms
Tadalafil allows you the flexibility of taking it daily or on an as-needed basis, empowering you to regain control of your intimate relationships.
Inhibits PDE5
As an oral medication for erectile dysfunction, tadalafil works by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5 in the body, which is responsible for regulating blood flow.
Increases blood flow
When the effects of PDE5 are inhibited, blood can flow more freely throughout your body, including crucial areas necessary for achieving and maintaining an erection.
Gets you hard
Enhanced blood flow to the penis results in firmer and more satisfying erections once sexual stimulation occurs, allowing for a more fulfilling intimate experience.

How to take tadalafil
Daily
Taking tadalafil daily is done once per day and is available in lower doses (2.5mg or 5mg), allowing the medication to gradually build up in your system. This means you're prepared for sexual activity at any time without having to wait for a pill to start working.
As-needed
For those opting for the as-needed (or “episodic”) dosage of tadalafil, take the pill prior to planned sexual activities. Typically, it reaches its peak effectiveness approximately 2 hours post-consumption and can last for an impressive duration of up to 36 hours. This dosage is higher than that of daily-use tadalafil (5mg, 10mg, or 20mg) so it’s advisable to avoid using it for multiple consecutive days.
Common tadalafil side effects
The most frequently reported side effects of the generic version of Cialis® include headaches, digestive issues, heartburn, back pain, muscle discomfort, facial flushing, nasal congestion, symptoms similar to a cold, dizziness, vision alterations, and shifts in blood pressure. Should you experience any distressing or persistent symptoms, it’s crucial to consult with your medical provider for assistance.
What is tadalafil used for?
Tadalafil is a cost-effective generic prescription medication utilized for treating several conditions, including erectile dysfunction (impotence), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Tadalafil and its brand-name versions, Cialis® and Adcirca®, belong to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. These medications prevent the enzyme PDE5 from acting too quickly, facilitating improved blood flow throughout the circulatory system, particularly to the penis.
How long does tadalafil take to work?
When taken as needed for erectile dysfunction, tadalafil can begin to take effect within approximately 30 to 45 minutes. However, it typically reaches its maximum efficacy about 2 hours after consumption. As with other ED medications, tadalafil should ideally be taken prior to the intended sexual activity to allow sufficient time for it to work.
Alternatively, when taken daily at a lower prescribed dose, tadalafil can enhance your ability to achieve an erection with sexual stimulation over time. Users may experience improved sexual performance as early as 4 to 5 days after commencing a daily regimen.
How long does tadalafil last?
A single dose of tadalafil taken as needed for sexual engagement can remain effective for up to 36 hours; however, the peak concentration in the bloodstream usually occurs between 30 minutes and 6 hours after ingestion, with a median peak time around 2 hours. Thanks to its prolonged effectiveness, tadalafil can be taken well in advance, providing opportunities for greater spontaneity in intimate encounters throughout the day or night.
What is in tadalafil?
Tadalafil tablets offered through Hims consist of the active ingredient tadalafil, alongside several inactive components: 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 in various strengths tailored to meet individual requirements. The dosing of tadalafil depends on whether it's used as-needed or on a daily basis.
Daily tadalafil dosage accumulates to 1.6 times the daily amount, meaning that the 5 mg daily treatment available through Hims is akin to taking 8 mg just before sexual activity. In contrast, as-needed tadalafil is typically prescribed at higher doses since it doesn't build up in your system, with common starting doses being 10 or 20 mg depending on your overall health and age.
Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?
Tadalafil is the economical, generic alternative to brand-name Cialis®. Cialis® was initially developed and is marketed by Eli Lilly, and the generic version of tadalafil became available following the expiration of patent protection in 2018. Both tadalafil and Cialis® have demonstrated safety and effectiveness for treating erectile dysfunction, but tadalafil is offered at a significantly reduced price compared to its branded counterpart.
Is tadalafil stronger than Viagra®?
Although the dosage regimens for Viagra® and tadalafil differ, tadalafil has a notable advantage: its effects can last considerably longer than those of Viagra®—up to 36 hours compared to 4 to 5 hours.
What are the side effects of tadalafil?
Commonly reported side effects of tadalafil (the generic version of Cialis®) include headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back discomfort, muscle pain, flushing, nasal congestion, cold-like symptoms, dizziness, changes in vision, and fluctuations in blood pressure. If you encounter any side effects that are bothersome or persistent, it is crucial to reach out to your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are rare, but can include potentially dangerous drops in blood pressure, severe allergic reactions, sudden loss of vision, hearing impairment, and priapism (an erection lasting longer than four hours). Immediate medical assistance should be sought if you experience any serious adverse reactions.
Is tadalafil safe?
For the majority of men experiencing erectile dysfunction, tadalafil (the generic form of Cialis) is largely considered safe. However, it is vital for men with certain pre-existing health conditions to inform their physician prior to initiating any erectile dysfunction treatment. Some health issues or conditions that may increase the risk of adverse effects when taking tadalafil include: existing heart conditions such as heart failure or a past myocardial infarction, angina symptoms, irregular heartbeats, fluctuating blood pressure levels, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare genetic eye disease), pulmonary hypertension, history of stroke, liver or kidney dysfunction, severe vision impairment, stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, abnormal penis shape or Peyronie’s disease, experiences with erections lasting over 4 hours, or blood cell disorders like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia.
Does tadalafil have any interactions?
Tadalafil (generic Cialis) can generally be used alongside other medications unless there is a known interaction between the two. Common drug interactions associated with tadalafil include nitrates, alpha-blockers, guanylate cyclase stimulators, HIV protease inhibitors, certain antifungal medications, and various antibiotics. Representative examples of these medications include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and recreational drugs known as "poppers." Always consult with a healthcare professional if you are currently on other medications before beginning tadalafil. Special caution should be exercised when combining tadalafil with other ED drugs such as sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), and vardenafil (Levitra®).
A note of caution: it is advisable to avoid taking tadalafil with grapefruit juice. The interaction between tadalafil and grapefruit can impede proper absorption of the medication, potentially leading to elevated effects from the tadalafil. To mitigate this risk, refrain from consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice at least 72 hours before taking tadalafil. Learn more about the interaction between Cialis® and grapefruit juice.
Is tadalafil a controlled substance?
According to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), tadalafil is not classified as a controlled substance.
Can you take tadalafil every day?
Generally, the 5 and 10 mg doses may be prescribed for daily use, but the 20 mg dose is usually not recommended for everyday consumption. In other words, there is a daily low-dose option designed for those who wish to ensure they are always prepared for sexual activity whenever the moment strikes. This daily regimen is intended for long-term, continuous use, providing a hassle-free experience.
