Buying CIALIS

Once you have your prescription for CIALIS from your doctor, you can have it filled at your local pharmacy or a certified online pharmacy. You can even get started for free by taking advantage of the CIALIS Promise Program trial offer.

How do the prices compare for the two CIALIS dosing options?

CIALIS for daily use is taken every day. 36-hour CIALIS is taken as needed. But that doesn't mean the cost of a 30-day supply of CIALIS for daily use will be 30 times the cost of a single 36-hour CIALIS tablet. In fact, the cost of a one-month supply (30 days) of CIALIS for daily use should be about the same as eight tablets of 36-hour CIALIS.

Check with several pharmacies to make sure you're getting the best price for CIALIS.

Eli Lilly and Company does not set or control the actual retail price for CIALIS. Instead, each pharmacy sets its own prices. For that reason, retail prices may vary, so it's a good idea to check with more than one pharmacy to make sure you're getting the best price.

You can even choose to have your prescription filled by an online pharmacy, but you need to make sure the one you choose is certified first. To learn more and get a list of online pharmacies that have been certified by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), go to www.nabp.net.

*Please check local pharmacies for actual retail prices as they may be different. Lilly does not control the prices at the pharmacy.

CIALIS is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Important Safety Information for CIALIS^® (tadalafil)

What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About CIALIS?

Do not take CIALIS if you:

take medicines called “nitrates” which are often prescribed for chest pain as the combination may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure
use recreational drugs called “poppers” like amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite
are allergic to CIALIS or ADCIRCA™ (tadalafil), or any of its ingredients

After taking a single tablet, some of the active ingredient of CIALIS remains in your body for more than 2 days. The active ingredient can remain longer if you have problems with your kidneys or liver, or you are taking certain other medications

Stop sexual activity and get medical help right away if you get symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or nausea during sex. Sexual activity can put an extra strain on your heart, especially if your heart is already weak from a heart attack or heart disease.

What Should I Tell My Healthcare Provider Before Taking CIALIS?

CIALIS is not right for everyone. Only your healthcare provider and you can decide if CIALIS is right for you. Ask your healthcare provider if it is safe for you to have sexual activity. You should not take CIALIS if your healthcare provider has told you not to have sexual activity because of your health problems. Before taking CIALIS, tell your doctor about all your medical problems, particularly if you have or ever had:

an allergy to CIALIS or ADCIRCA or any of its ingredients
heart problems such as chest pain, heart failure, irregular heartbeats, or have had a heart attack
high or low blood pressure
stroke
liver or kidney problems

What Should I Avoid While Taking CIALIS?

What Are The Possible Side Effects Of CIALIS?

The most common side effects with CIALIS are: headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and stuffy or runny nose. These side effects usually go away after a few hours. Men who get back pain and muscle aches usually get it 12 to 24 hours after taking CIALIS. Back pain and muscle aches usually go away within 2 days. Call your healthcare provider if you get any side effect that bothers you or one that does not go away.

Uncommon side effects include:

An erection that won’t go away: If you get an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury.

In rare instances, men taking prescription ED tablets, including CIALIS, reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing (sometimes with ringing in the ears and dizziness). It’s not possible to determine if these events are related directly to the ED tablets or to other factors. If you have a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing, stop taking any ED tablet, including CIALIS and call your doctor right away.

CIALIS does not:

cure ED
increase a man’s sexual desire
protect a man or his partner from sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV
