Treatment on your terms
Tadalafil can be taken daily or as-needed so you’re back in control of your sex life, allowing you to engage in intimate moments without worry.
Inhibits PDE5
Tadalafil is an oral erectile dysfunction medication that works by inhibiting an enzyme called PDE5 in the body, which is crucial for proper erectile function.
Increases blood flow
By suppressing the activity of PDE5, tadalafil enhances blood flow, ensuring that the penis receives sufficient blood during sexual stimulation—a key factor in achieving and maintaining an erection.
Gets you hard
This increased blood flow means you can experience firmer, more gratifying erections once arousal occurs, helping enhance sexual experiences significantly.

How to take tadalafil
Daily
Daily tadalafil is administered once per day in a lower dosage (2.5mg or 5mg), enabling it to accumulate in your system. This allows you to be ready for sexual activity at any moment, eliminating the need to rely on a single pill taken close to the time of intimacy.
As-needed
Use the as-needed (or “episodic”) dose of tadalafil when you're planning to be intimate. This method requires taking the pill prior to sexual activity, as it typically reaches peak effectiveness around two hours post-ingestion, and can remain effective for up to 36 hours. This option features a higher dosage compared to daily use, often presented in 5mg, 10mg, or 20mg, so it is best to avoid taking it several days in a row.
Common tadalafil side effects
The most frequently reported side effects associated with the generic form of Cialis® include headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back pain, muscle aches, flushing of the face, nasal congestion, symptoms similar to a cold, dizziness, alterations in vision, and fluctuations in blood pressure. Your healthcare provider can assist in addressing or treating these symptoms should you experience them.
What is tadalafil used for?
Tadalafil is an affordable generic prescription medication used to treat multiple conditions, including erectile dysfunction (impotence), benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Tadalafil, similar to its brand-name versions like Cialis® and Adcirca®, belongs to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors that help facilitate improved blood flow through the blood vessels in various parts of the body, including the penis.
How long does tadalafil take to work?
When taken for erectile dysfunction, tadalafil can begin to work within 30-45 minutes. However, it reaches its peak effects for most individuals about two hours after ingestion. As with other on-demand ED medications, it’s essential to take tadalafil prior to engaging in sexual activity to allow adequate time for the medication to take effect.
Alternatively, tadalafil can also be prescribed at a lower dose to be taken at the same time each day. Following this daily regimen, many users report noticing an improved ability to achieve an erection in as little as 4 to 5 days.
How long does tadalafil last?
A single dose of tadalafil, when taken for sexual activity, may remain effective for as long as 36 hours. Nevertheless, peak concentration within the bloodstream typically happens between 30 minutes and 6 hours post ingestion, with an average of around two hours. Thanks to its prolonged effectiveness, tadalafil can be taken well in advance, allowing for a more spontaneous approach to sexual activity throughout the day or night.
What is in tadalafil?
Tadalafil tablets available through Hims contain the active ingredient 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, which help to form and stabilize the tablet.
How much tadalafil should I take?
At Hims, tadalafil is available at affordable prices in various strengths tailored to individual requirements. Tadalafil dosing will depend on whether you choose to take it daily or as-needed. For those opting for daily intake, the 5 mg dosage is designed to provide continuous availability, offering a similar effect to taking 8 mg as a single dose prior to sexual activity. For the as-needed option, higher doses are typically recommended because there is less time for the medication to build up in your system, with starting doses usually being 10 or 20 mg depending on health conditions and age factors.
Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?
Tadalafil is the cost-effective, generic variant of the well-known brand Cialis®. Initially developed and marketed by Eli Lilly, the patent for Cialis® expired in 2018, allowing other manufacturers to produce generic tadalafil. Both forms have been proven to be safe and effective in treating erectile dysfunction, yet tadalafil is typically available at a significantly lower price point compared to Cialis®.
Is tadalafil stronger than Viagra®?
Though dosage guidelines differ between Viagra® and tadalafil, the latter has a notable advantage: its effects can last much longer, providing up to 36 hours of potential benefit compared to Viagra®’s 4 to 5 hours, making it a more flexible option for many men.
What are the side effects of tadalafil?
Common side effects of tadalafil (Generic Cialis®) may encompass headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back pain, muscle aches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, cold-like symptoms, dizziness, visual disturbances, and variations in blood pressure. If you encounter any of these effects that are bothersome or persist, it is advisable to consult your health care provider. Serious side effects are infrequent but can include a critical drop in blood pressure, allergic reactions, sudden vision loss, hearing impairment, and priapism (a prolonged erection lasting four hours or longer). If you experience any of these serious concerns, seek immediate medical assistance.
Is tadalafil safe?
Generally, tadalafil (generic Cialis) is deemed safe for the majority of men dealing with erectile dysfunction. However, individuals with pre-existing health conditions are encouraged to inform their doctor before initiating any erectile dysfunction medication. Certain health issues and symptoms could increase the risk of experiencing adverse effects from tadalafil and warrant caution, including cardiovascular problems like heart failure or a history of heart attacks, angina, irregular heartbeat, hypertension or hypotension, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare hereditary eye condition), pulmonary hypertension, stroke, liver or kidney disease, severe eyesight loss, stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, unusual penis shape or Peyronie’s disease, experiences of prolonged erections exceeding four hours, or blood disorders like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia.
Does tadalafil have any interactions?
Tadalafil (generic Cialis) can generally be taken alongside other medications unless there is a known drug interaction. Common interactions include those with nitrates, alpha-blockers, guanylate cyclase stimulators, HIV protease inhibitors, certain antifungals, and several antibiotics. Examples of such medications include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and recreational drugs often referred to as “poppers.” It’s crucial to seek medical counsel if you are currently taking other medications before starting tadalafil, and extra caution is advised when combining tadalafil with other ED medications, including sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), and vardenafil (Levitra®).
Note: Avoid consuming grapefruit juice while taking tadalafil, as the interaction can impede your body’s ability to absorb the medication properly, leading to potentially intensified effects. It is recommended to refrain from ingesting grapefruit or grapefruit products for at least 72 hours before taking tadalafil.
Is tadalafil a controlled substance?
No, under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), tadalafil is not classified as a controlled substance, allowing it to be prescribed more freely by healthcare providers.
Can you take tadalafil every day?
Generally, the lower doses of 5 mg and 10 mg are suitable for daily use, but the higher 20 mg dose is not recommended for everyday consumption. This daily low-dose option is designed to ensure that you are ready for sexual encounters without requiring pre-planning, promoting a more spontaneous and enjoyable experience in intimacy.
