Cialis (tadalafil) is a medication that belongs to the class of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It is effective for up to six months and can be used in conjunction with other medications.
The recommended dosage of Cialis is one tablet taken with water approximately one hour before sexual activity. It may be taken on an empty stomach or with a large meal. It should be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Do not take Cialis more than once per day. It is best to avoid taking Cialis with grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as grapefruit may increase its blood levels and increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects.
Cialis should not be taken by pregnant women or children. It is recommended that Cialis be taken during or just after sexual activity or in the morning. If you have any questions about Cialis, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Headache is usually mild and short-lived. However, if you experience an allergic reaction or allergic reaction to Cialis, stop taking Cialis and contact a doctor immediately. Some men may also experience erectile dysfunction.
Headaches usually go away within a few hours. However, they can be long-lasting. If you experience the symptoms listed above, stop taking Cialis and contact your doctor. They may recommend some other treatment methods or ways to manage your symptoms.
If you experience no side effects after using Cialis, tell your doctor. This includes any side effects not listed in this medication guide.
Flushing is a warm feeling in the face, neck, or chest. This may be a sign of a new condition. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking Cialis and contact your doctor immediately. They may need to adjust your dosage.
Flushing may occur only on the face or neck, and it may last for a few minutes. It may be temporary or it may occur as a side effect. If you experience mild or moderate flushing, your doctor will probably start you on Cialis and gradually increase your dose. Flushing usually goes away on its own within a few hours.
It is not clear how many different Cialis doses do you need to treat each side effect. Some people may take two or three Cialis doses at once. Do not take more than the recommended dose. If you take more Cialis, your doctor may increase your dose.
Nasal congestion or congestion may be a sign of an allergic reaction to Cialis. It may cause mild or moderate pain. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking Cialis and contact your doctor.

The recommended daily dosage of direct oral active ingredients is 10 mg. The tablet should be taken once a day, with or without food.
The tablet should be swallowed whole. The drug will slowly build up in the blood stream. If a large quantity of blood has been absorbed through the tablet, the drug should be discontinued and the patient switched on. Do not use more than 6 tablets in 24 hours. Only use direct oral active ingredients if prescribed by a doctor, or if you are taking nitrates. Not recommended for use in patients with the following conditions:

The tablet can be taken with or without food. However, take with a high fat meal, or take with a low-fat meal at a fixed time (such as 1-2 hours). High-fat meals do not affect the tablet’s absorption in the stomach. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you have time to absorb the full dose. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and wait it is one past that. Take your next dose within 30 minutes, and remember that.

1.Nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate): Cialis and nitrates both lower blood pressure. Taking them together can cause a significant and potentially life-threatening drop in blood pressure (hypotension), leading to dizziness, fainting, or even heart attack or stroke. It is contraindicated to use Cialis with nitrates or recreational "poppers" (amyl nitrites).
2.Alpha-blockers (e.g., prazosin, terazosin, tamsulosin): Both Cialis and alpha-blockers relax blood vessels, which can lead to excessive blood pressure reduction when used together. This may result in dizziness, fainting, or orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing). If needed, your doctor may adjust the dosage or recommend spacing the medications.
3.Other antihypertensive drugs (e.g., atenolol, propranolol, enalapril, lisinopril): Cialis can enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effects of these medications. While this interaction is usually less severe than with nitrates or alpha-blockers, it can still cause dizziness or fainting in sensitive individuals. Close monitoring of blood pressure is recommended.
Cialis (tadalafil) can interact with certain foods and beverages, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Here are the key drug-food interactions to be aware of:
Ketoconazole, tamsulosin, rifampicin, clarithromycin (medicines used for bacterial infections), and other drug-food interactions have been reported. The underlying mechanism by which these medications interact is unclear, but here are the key drug-food interactions:
Whether you can take Tadalafil at the same time as your other medications will depend on which medications you are taking.
You are required to complete a short medical consultation questionnaire that asks for any medications that you are prescribed from your GP and will indicate the medications that can’t be taken alongside Tadalafil.
There are several medicines which should not be taken concurrently with Tadalafil. Medicines which can have potentially serious interactions with Tadalafil include :-
• Any alpha-blocker medicines e.g. doxazosin (Cardura), alfuzosin (Xatral), tamsulosin, terazosin, or Flomax, that you can buy in the pharmacy. (These medicines may be used to treat prostate problems or high blood pressure).
• Isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, or use a GTN spray or tablets
for chest pain or use Rectogesic ointment?
• Nicorandil (Ikorel), used to treat angina
• Cimetidine, used to treat stomach or duodenal (peptic) ulcers
• Theophylline, used to treat asthma
• Antibiotics:- Clarithromycin, Erythromycin and Telithromycin
• Anti-fungals such as itraconazole and ketoconazole
• Seizure medication:- carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone
• Heart or blood pressure medication:- disopyramide, amiodarone, quinidine and procainamide
• Anti-viral medication:- telaprevir, atazanavir, retonavir, indinavir, saquinavir and cobicistat
• Recreational drugs:- amyl nitrate (poppers)
If you are taking any prescribed medication from your GP then you can simply write those in the “Is there any other medical information that you think our doctor should know?” section on the medical questionnaire. Then, our doctor will know whether the Tadalafil is safe for you to take.

Tadalafil is prescribed for erectile dysfunction as the generic form of Viagra, and for pulmonary arterial hypertension as the brand-name Cialis. Both Tadalafil and Cialis start to have effects within one day of taking the medicine.
Tadalafil only works in sexual arousal treatment. It doesn’t work with arousal-therapy support. Tadalafil doesn’t support support treatment for asthma or the allergic response. If you’re taking Tadalafil as a brand-name drug and our doctor prescribes any of the other medications, then you will not notice any difference. However, you’ll still need to follow the prescribed treatment for three months after your treatment.
Sometimes Tadalafil will not work well if you take more than the prescribed dose.
If you have any questions about why Tadalafil has been prescribed for you then contact our medical questionnaire then you should contact our doctor or the pharmacist on the “Why am I taking this medicine?” page to start taking the medicine.
Tadalafil may be taken with or without food. Do not take Tadalafil with anything close to a heavy, tight or bulging stomach.
No. Tadalafil is not recommended for use in combination with any other medication. Your doctor, on the other hand, will need to tell you some medications that you can’t take independently.
