CIALIS® (tadalafil) for ED

How CIALIS Can Help

How CIALIS for Daily Use Can Help

CIALIS for daily use is a low dose ED (erectile dysfunction) treatment that is taken every day. It can be a very effective option for men who want to be ready any time the moment is right.

How to take CIALIS for daily use

Take CIALIS for daily use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it more than 1 time each day, or more than once in a 24-hour period
Take 1 tablet of CIALIS for daily use at about the same time every day, with or without food
If you miss a dose of CIALIS for daily use, you may take it when you remember, but do not take more than 1 dose per day

Finding the right dose of CIALIS for daily use

CIALIS for daily use is available in 2 doses (2.5 mg and 5 mg) so it's easy for your doctor to adjust your dose. You and your doctor will determine the dose that works best for you. Your doctor may change your dose of CIALIS depending on your body's response to the medicine and on your medical condition.

Be sure to tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Tell your doctor about all medicines, especially if you take nitrates (often used for chest pain) or medicines for blood pressure, alpha blockers, antifungals, or medicines for HIV, so your doctor can be aware of potential drug interactions.

CIALIS works only with sexual stimulation

You won't get an erection just by taking CIALIS for daily use. Sexual stimulation is needed to get an erection. When sexual activity is over and blood flow to the penis decreases, your erection will go away.

CIALIS for daily use is convenient to take

Because the absorption of CIALIS is not affected by food, you can take daily CIALIS anytime during the day or evening. You can eat and drink what you want. But do not drink alcohol in excess (to a level of intoxication) when taking CIALIS. Too much alcohol can increase your chances of:

Headache
Dizziness
A drop in blood pressure
Increased heart rate

Important Safety Information for CIALIS^® (tadalafil)

CIALIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. Only your doctor can decide if CIALIS is right for you. Before taking CIALIS, ask if you're healthy enough for sexual activity and be sure to tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and all medications. Don't take CIALIS if you take nitrates as the combination can cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure.

CIALIS for daily use remains in your body for as long as you take it. Tell your doctor about all medications, especially if you take nitrates (often used for chest pain) or medicines for blood pressure, alpha blockers, antifungals, or HIV, so your doctor can be aware of potential drug interactions.

Don't drink alcohol in excess (to a level of intoxication) with CIALIS, as this may increase your chances of getting dizzy or lowering your blood pressure. CIALIS does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. The most common side effects with CIALIS were headache and upset stomach. Backache and muscle ache were also reported, sometimes with delayed onset.

As with any ED tablet, in the rare event of 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 is available by prescription only. For additional safety information, talk to your doctor about this medicine and see the full Patient Information.
