Uses, Dosage, and Side Effects Information"},"content":{"rendered":"

Tadalafil, better known by its brand name Cialis\u00ae, is an FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction (ED) first introduced by Eli Lilly and Co in 2003. It\u2019s known for being the ED drug with the longest-lasting duration of effects, clocking in at 36 hours. In comparison, sildenafil (Viagra\u00ae) lasts only for up to four to six hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like most other ED treatments, tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. Tadalafil is also used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy (prostate enlargement) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Tadalafil for pulmonary arterial hypertension (20 mg) is marketed by Eli Lilly as Adcirca\u00ae.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tadalafil works by giving a boost to blood flow to the erectile tissues of your penis. Upon sexual stimulation and arousal, tadalafil allows you to produce and keep an erection more easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tadalafil has been proven to be a safe, suitable treatment for most individuals across age groups and backgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

How much tadalafil do I take for erectile dysfunction?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tadalafil is usually taken before engaging in sexual activity. Take a tablet at least 30 minutes to an hour before you intend to be sexually active. Regardless of how you perceive tadalafil\u2019s effects (e.g., whether you experience its effects or not), do not take more than one tablet daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In general, the starting tadalafil dose most doctors prescribe for ED patients is 10 mg. This dose may be increased or reduced based on how well you respond to it and how frequently you use it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, since tadalafil has a longer effect (up to 36 hours), it isn\u2019t generally recommended to take 10 mg or 20 mg doses daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your doctor has prescribed you tadalafil daily, you will generally be given the 2.5 mg dose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, tadalafil doesn\u2019t cause erections just by using it on its own \u2013 you need to be sexually stimulated and aroused for you to feel its full erection-boosting effects.<\/span><\/p>\n
