What is tadalafil?

Tadalafil, also known by the brand name of “Cialis”, is a medicine scientifically formulated to treat erectile dysfunction, improving your ability to get and maintain an erection. It uses the same active ingredient as Cialis so it is just as effective as the branded version and it is Health Canada approved to treat ED.

Its an effective solution for a very common problem in men from all ages. So don’t worry if it happens to you in your twenties or your fifties. We got you covered.

How does tadalafil work?

Tadalafil widens the blood vessels that supply the penis, allowing more blood flow to the area to help you maintain a firmer erection during sexual intercourse. It’s what’s known as a PDE5 inhibitor, which helps to increase blood flow to the penis when you are aroused. Tadalafil will help you get an erection, but it will not increase your desire for sex and you must be sexually aroused for it to work. Tadalafil won’t treat any underlying physical causes of your ED.

HOW TO TAKE TADALAFIL

Tadalafil should be taken at least half an hour before sex. The tablet should be swallowed whole with some water. Tadalafil should not be taken with a meal as this can delay absorption. Small amounts of alcohol shouldn’t stop or delay tadalafil from working, but drinking large amounts of alcohol can make it more difficult to get an erection and could increase the risks of side effects. Do not take tadalafil with grapefruit or grapefruit juice as this may affect how the medicine works. Tadalafil can last up to 36 hours, do not take more than one tablet in this time. Don’t combine tadalafil with other ED meds.

HOW LONG DOES TADALAFIL LAST

Tadalafil may remain effective for up to 36 hours after taking it. But it only works if you are sexually aroused, so it will need your help. Some foreplay prior to sexual activity will do the trick. The erection will go away as normal after sex.

FAQ

What is generic Cialis?

Tadalafil is sometimes called ‘generic Cialis’. Tadalafil is the active ingredient that is used in Cialis, which is the brand name given to the drug buy it’s original manufacturers Lilly. After Lilly’s patent expired in 2017, other drug manufacturers were able to sell tadalafil as a treatment for ED. Tadalafil and Cialis are medically the same and will have the same effects.

When should I take tadalafil?

Tadalafil should be taken about half an hour (30 minutes) before sex. The effects can last for up to 36 hours.

Why is tadalafil called 'the weekend pill'?

Tadalafil can last up to 36 hours, which is why it is sometimes called ‘the weekend pill’. This means that you could get an erection, or more than one erection, within this time frame. The longer duration of action has led to tadalafil’s increasing popularity.

Does tadalafil really last for 36 hours?

Yes, the effects of tadalafil can last for up to 36 hours. This doesn’t mean that you will have an erection for 36 hours, although you may be able to get more than one erection in this time. You must be sexually aroused for tadalafil to work, so you’ll only get an erection when you want to.

How effective is tadalafil?

Tadalafil is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. In studies, 81% of men said their erections were improved after taking the drug. If tadalafil doesn’t work for you it could be because of external factors such as anxiety or not being sexually aroused enough, or your dose could be too low. We recommend trying the same dose of tadalafil a few times before changing your dose or trying an alternative ED treatment. Speak to our doctors if you feel tadalafil isn’t working for you.

How much tadalafil should I take?

The usual starting dose for tadalafil is 10mg, however, it comes in 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg or 20mg tablets. The lower dosages of 2.5mg and 5mg are prescribed to be taken daily to provide continuous treatment. Our doctors will determine the most suitable dosage for you.

Can I take tadalafil daily?

Yes, the lower doses of tadalafil (2.5mg or 5mg) can be taken daily. This maintains the levels of the medication in your blood so you should be able to get an erection when you want to engage in sexual activity. This can be useful for men who want to have sex twice a week or more and don’t want to remember to take the tablet each time they wish to have sex.

What should I expect when taking tadalafil for the first time?

You must be sexually aroused for tadalafil to work. The effects of tadalafil can last up to 36 hours, so you should be able to get and maintain an erection more than once in that time frame if you are sexually aroused. You might find that tadalafil doesn’t work the first time you try it, especially if it has been a long time since you last had sex. We recommend trying tadalafil a few times before changing the dose or seeking an alternative. If you feel like your dose is wrong, contact our doctors who may recommend a different dose for you. Tadalafil is usually a well-tolerated treatment for ED, however, like all medications some side effects can be felt including headaches, facial flushing, dizziness, digestive issues and changes to vision. These side effects are usually mild and will fade after a short amount of time.

Does tadalafil have side effects?

Side effects are uncommon but can include headaches, nausea, a sudden feeling of heat in your upper body, indigestion, visual disturbances, dizziness or a stuffy nose. These side effects are usually mild and should go away after a few hours. For more information on side effects, please refer to the patient information leaflet that comes with your medication.

Can I use tadalafil with alcohol?

Drinking a small amount of alcohol, for example, a beer or a glass of wine shouldn’t impact the effectiveness of tadalafil. You should avoid drinking too much alcohol whilst using tadalafil as this may make it more difficult for the drug to work. Alcohol, like tadalafil, decreases your blood pressure and when used together, can also increase your risk of getting dizzy when you stand up.

Can I take more than one tadalafil tablet in a day?

Do not take more than one tablet a day.

Is it ok to drive after taking tadalafil?

Some men have reported dizziness when taking tadalafil, so it is best to avoid driving until you have used the medicine a few times and know how you respond.

Both medicines work in the same way and have the same active ingredient. The main difference between tadalafil and Cialis is the pricing. Cialis is the original branded product and tadalafil is the generic version which is made by different manufacturers at a cheaper price.

What is the difference between tadalafil and sildenafil?

Tadalafil and sildenafil are both PDE5 inhibitors and they work in a similar way to help you get and maintain an erection. The main difference between the two medications is the duration of action. Sildenafil can last for up to 5 hours, whereas tadalafil can last up to 36 hours.

you have been diagnosed with serious liver or kidney problems

Alcohol and Tadalafil

Drinking alcohol with Tadalafil may reduce its effectiveness and could make getting an erection more difficult. It can also increase your chances of experiencing dizziness when standing up. We recommend that you avoid alcohol if you intend to use Tadalafil that day.

Driving and Tadalafil

In rare cases Tadalafil has been found to cause dizziness and has the potential to affect your vision, so it is important not to drive or use any machinery if you experience these side effects or feel in any way abnormal.

How to use Tadalafil

You should take one Tadalafil tablet, swallowed whole with a little water.

What to expect when using Tadalafil

Tadalafil will help you get and maintain an erection, but you will need to be sexually aroused for it to take effect. Engaging in foreplay will help you become aroused and give the tablet time to work.

Tadalafil may not work the first time you use it, particularly if it has been a while since you last had an erection. Many men find that the medicine is more effective after the second dose. If you are unsuccessful the first time, you must wait 24 hours before trying again as you cannot take more than one tablet in a day. It can take your body a few doses before you start to respond and you see the full benefits.

If you feel that the medication is not working for you or is too weak, contact us and your licensed prescriber may recommend a higher dose for you. Do not take more than one tablet a day. If you take more tablets than prescribed, you increase the risk of experiencing serious side effects. It is important for a clinician/ prescriber to manage any increase in dose and monitor your response after each dose.

The recommended dose for erectile dysfunction is 10mg taken 30 minutes before sex. Only the 2.5mg and 5mg strengths of Tadalafil are intended for continuous daily use. If you intend to use Tadalafil for sexual activity more than twice a week, a consistent daily dose of 2.5mg or 5mg may be more suitable for you.

Sexual activity can put additional strain on your heart, so it is essential that you check with your doctor first if you often get very breathless or feel chest pain when you partake in light to moderate physical activity, such as climbing the stairs or taking a light jog.

Possible side effects of Tadalafil

Side effects of Tadalafil are usually mild to moderate and only last for a short amount of time. If you experience any side affects you should stop taking the medication.

The most common side effects are headaches, nausea, a sudden feeling of heat in your upper body, indigestion, visual disturbances, dizziness or a stuffy nose. A decrease in the amount and number of sperm has been seen in some men taking Tadalafil, although the quality of the sperm were not affected.

Rare reports of fainting, dry nose, irritability, stroke, heart attack, irregular heartbeat, sudden decrease or loss of hearing have been reported. Visual changes, although rare, have also been reported and include bleeding at the back of the eye, double vision, swelling of the eyes or eyelids, seeing spots in your field of vision or halos around lights, discolouration of the whites of the eye and dilation of the pupils.

You should STOP taking Tadalafil IMMEDIATELY if you experience any of the following symptoms:

An allergic reaction, the symptoms of which include sudden wheezing, difficulty breathing, dizziness, swelling of the eyelids, face, lips or throat.
Chest pain, which is uncommon, but if it occurs during or after sex, you should get into a comfortable sitting position, breathe deeply and try to relax. Do not take nitrates to treat your chest pain.
A sudden decrease in vision or a sudden loss of vision
Ringing in your ears or dizziness
A severe skin rash
Seizures
An erection that lasts longer than four hours.
