Tadalafil is the generic form of the brand-name medication Cialis. This tablet is most commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), although it can also be used to treat an enlarged prostate.
Some common side effects can include lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, flushing, and nausea. The 2.5mg and 5mg dose are typically taken daily, but the 10mg and 20mg doses are taken on an as-needed basis, with or without food. This tablet can take up to 4 hours to begin working, and the effects can last anywhere between 24 to 72 hours.
Both tadalafil and sildenafil (the generic form of Viagra) are effective treatments for ED; however, some people prefer tadalafil because of its longer duration of action. Make sure to also inform your doctor and/or pharmacist of all other medications (including over-the-counter drugs and supplements) you are taking in order to prevent drug interactions.
You should also speak with your doctor about eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking this tablet since it is possible the fruit will interfere with the medication. Lastly, inform your doctor if you are on nitrates, as they cannot be taken together with this tablet.

Cialis has given me the ability to get and maintain an erection as well as a satisfying sex life again. Started out taking 20 mg but have been cutting the pill in half after experiencing leg pain as a side effect.

I am in my mid 40s and I have a mild/moderate ED. After taking my my first Cialis 20mg. I was rock hard. And, I last super long before my first orgasm. A real plus in terms of sexual performance: hardness, and marathon.

most important thing I can say is that the most effective way for me to use this is 10 mg a day. And it can take 4 or 5 days to really kick in so I just need to take it regularly.

Started being able to completely clear my bladder with this medication. Nice to not have to “go back” shortly after the first trip.
