Daily Cialis

Daily Cialis® (tadalafil) is a prescription medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It belongs to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which support blood flow involved in getting and maintaining an erection. This page refers to the once-daily version, which is taken on a regular schedule rather than only when needed.

• Helps support erectile function when you are sexually stimulated
• Does not cause an automatic erection or increase sexual desire
• Is not a cure for ED and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections
• Prescription-only; a healthcare provider decides if it’s appropriate for you
• Intended for use in adult men only

Daily Cialis® is taken by mouth once a day, at about the same time each day, exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It can be taken with or without food. Do not take more than one dose per day, and do not change how you take it without medical guidance.

• Take one tablet daily at a consistent time
• Swallow with or without meals
• Sexual stimulation is still needed for it to work
• Do not take extra doses if you feel it is not working as expected
• Do not combine with other ED medicines unless directed by a provider

Like all prescription medicines, Daily Cialis® can cause side effects. The most common ones are usually mild to moderate and may include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, or a stuffy or runny nose. These often improve over time as your body adjusts.

• Common: headache, upset stomach, back or muscle pain
• Common: flushing and nasal congestion
• Some side effects may appear hours after taking a dose

Seek medical help right away if you have serious symptoms such as chest pain during sexual activity, an erection lasting more than 4 hours, sudden vision loss, or sudden hearing changes. These may require urgent care.

If you have specific dietary concerns or medical conditions, your healthcare provider can help guide you on what works best for you.

Drinking alcohol in moderation may be acceptable for some people, but larger amounts can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness, headache, or low blood pressure. This may make you feel lightheaded, especially when standing up.

• Alcohol may increase the risk of dizziness or fainting
• Larger amounts can lower blood pressure further
• Effects may vary depending on your health and medications

Talk to your healthcare provider about what level of alcohol use is appropriate for you while taking Daily Cialis®.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

• Take the missed dose when you remember
• Do not take more than one dose in a day
• Do not double up to make up for a missed dose

If you frequently forget doses, consider setting a reminder or speaking with your provider about ways to stay on track.

No, you should not take more than one dose of Daily Cialis® in a 24-hour period. Taking extra doses can increase the risk of side effects without improving effectiveness.

• Taking more may increase side effect risk
• Effectiveness should be evaluated with your provider

If you feel the medication is not working as expected, talk to your healthcare provider instead of adjusting your dose on your own.

• Supports natural erectile response
• Does not increase sexual desire

If you are unsure what to expect, your healthcare provider can help clarify how the medication fits into your treatment plan.

If you use any of these substances, tell your healthcare provider before starting Daily Cialis®.
