Cialis Daily (Tadalafil)

Cialis Daily is a low-dose tadalafil tablet you take once a day, every day. Instead of planning around a tablet before sex, a steady level of tadalafil stays in your body, so you can get an erection whenever you're sexually aroused. It comes as 2.5mg or 5mg tablets, branded or generic. At MedsRus, a UK prescriber reviews a confidential online consultation before supplying it, and orders are sent in plain packaging.

Cialis Daily at a glance

How does Cialis Daily work?

Tadalafil blocks an enzyme called PDE5, which relaxes the blood vessels in the penis so more blood can flow in when you're aroused. Tadalafil lasts a long time in the body, so taking a small dose every day keeps a steady level that's always "on".

It doesn't cause an erection by itself or increase your sex drive. You still need to feel aroused.

Cialis Daily vs as-needed Cialis

If you'd rather take a tablet only when you need it, see Cialis (tadalafil) 10mg and 20mg.

Cialis Daily dose: 2.5mg or 5mg?

• 5mg once a day is the usual dose.
• 2.5mg may be suggested if 5mg causes side effects, or if you take certain other medicines or have kidney problems.
• Take it at about the same time each day, with water, with or without food.
• Don't take as-needed Cialis or another ED tablet on top of your daily dose.

It can take about 4–5 days of daily use to reach full effect, so give it at least a week or two before judging how well it works. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember that day; don't take two in one day.

Is Cialis Daily used for an enlarged prostate?

We prescribe Cialis Daily for erectile dysfunction only. If you have urinary or prostate symptoms, see your GP.

Who shouldn't take Cialis Daily?

• take riociguat;
• have had a heart attack in the last 3 months or a stroke in the last 6 months;

Cialis Daily FAQs

How long does Cialis Daily take to work?

It builds up over about 4–5 days of daily use. After that, you can get an erection whenever you're aroused, without timing a tablet.

Is 2.5mg or 5mg better?

5mg is the usual dose. 2.5mg suits men who get side effects at 5mg or take certain other medicines. The prescriber will suggest the right one.

Can I take Cialis Daily and as-needed Cialis together?

No. Don't take extra tadalafil or any other ED tablet on top of your daily dose.

Is generic tadalafil the same as Cialis Daily?

Yes. Generic tadalafil 2.5mg and 5mg contain the same active ingredient at the same strength as branded Cialis, and usually cost less.

What if I miss a dose?

Take it when you remember that day. If it's already the next day, just take your usual dose; don't take two.

Can I drink alcohol with Cialis Daily?

A small amount is usually fine. Heavy drinking makes erections harder and can make dizziness and headaches worse.
