What is tadalafil used for?

Tadalafil is a cost-effective generic medication prescribed for various health issues, including erectile dysfunction (impotence), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors that facilitate improved blood flow by preventing the rapid action of the PDE5 enzyme throughout the body.

How long does tadalafil take to work?

Tadalafil, as the economical generic version of Cialis®, can begin to take effect within 30-45 minutes when taken as needed for erectile dysfunction, reaching its peak effectiveness for most men approximately 2 hours post-administration. It’s crucial to ingest the medication ahead of planned sexual activity to allow adequate time for onset.

Alternatively, tadalafil can be prescribed at a lower daily dose. By maintaining a consistent regimen over time, many patients find they are more likely to achieve an erection whenever sexual stimulation occurs. After starting a daily regimen, some men may find success in sexual encounters within just 4 to 5 days.

How long does tadalafil last?

A single dose of tadalafil, when taken for sexual activity, can remain effective for as long as 36 hours. However, the optimal concentration in the bloodstream is typically achieved between 30 minutes and 6 hours after ingestion, with an average time of around 2 hours. Due to the extended effectiveness of tadalafil, it can be taken well in advance, allowing more flexibility for spontaneous sexual encounters.

What is in tadalafil?

The tadalafil tablets provided through Hims include the active ingredient tadalafil along with 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?

Hims offers tadalafil at competitive prices in various strengths, catering to individual requirements. The dosing also varies based on whether it's taken daily or as-needed.

With once-a-day tadalafil gradually accumulating in your system, the 5 mg daily treatment is akin to taking an 8 mg dose of tadalafil prior to sexual activity. When used as-needed, tadalafil is typically administered at higher dosages since it does not have the opportunity to build up. Standard starting doses for as-needed tadalafil often range from 10 mg to 20 mg, depending on personal health considerations and age factors.

Are tadalafil and Cialis® the same thing?

Tadalafil is the highly affordable generic alternative to brand-name Cialis®. Originally developed by Eli Lilly, Cialis® became available in a generic form once its patent protection lapsed in 2018. Tadalafil and Cialis® have been proven to be equally safe and effective in treating erectile dysfunction; however, tadalafil is available at a significantly reduced price compared to its branded counterpart.

Is tadalafil stronger than Viagra®?

While the dosing protocols for Viagra® and tadalafil differ, tadalafil presents an important advantage: it remains effective for a longer duration—up to 36 hours, as opposed to Viagra®, which typically lasts around 4 to 5 hours.

What are the side effects of tadalafil?

Common side effects associated with tadalafil (generic Cialis) include headaches, digestive discomfort, heartburn, back pain, muscle pains, facial flushing, nasal congestion, cold-like symptoms, dizziness, changes in vision, and variations in blood pressure. Although serious side effects are uncommon, they can include a sudden drop in blood pressure, severe allergic reactions, unexpected loss of vision or hearing, and prolonged erections (priapism). If you encounter any of these serious issues, seek immediate medical assistance.

Is tadalafil safe?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is generally considered safe for most men experiencing erectile dysfunction. Nevertheless, men with existing medical conditions should communicate openly with their healthcare provider before initiating any erectile dysfunction medication. Certain health issues that may heighten the risks associated with tadalafil include cardiovascular problems, previous heart events, angina, irregular pulse, blood pressure fluctuations, eye conditions like retinitis pigmentosa, pulmonary hypertension, history of stroke, liver disease, kidney issues, significant vision impairment, stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, unusual penis shapes, or blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia and leukemia.

Does tadalafil have any interactions?

Tadalafil (generic Cialis) can generally be combined with other medications, provided no known interactions exist between them. However, potential drug interactions to be cautious of may involve nitrates, alpha-blockers, guanylate cyclase stimulators, HIV protease inhibitors, and certain antifungals and antibiotics. Some examples of interacting drugs include nitroglycerin, amyl nitrate, doxazosin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, riociguat, ritonavir, tamsulosin, itraconazole, and recreational drugs known as poppers. It's crucial to consult your healthcare provider about other medications you are taking before starting tadalafil, especially in conjunction with other erectile dysfunction treatments like sildenafil (Viagra®), avanafil (Stendra®), or vardenafil (Levitra®).

A brief note: avoid consuming grapefruit juice when taking tadalafil. The interaction between grapefruit and tadalafil may lead to improper absorption, causing intensified effects. Refrain from consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice for at least 72 hours before taking tadalafil to ensure effective results.

Is tadalafil a controlled substance?

No, tadalafil is not classified as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

Can you take tadalafil every day?

Generally, the lower doses of 5 mg and 10 mg may be prescribed for daily use, whereas the higher 20 mg dose is not recommended for daily intake. The daily, low-dose option is specifically designed to help you be prepared for sexual activity without the need for pre-planning, enabling a more spontaneous and enjoyable experience.
