Always follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Cialis. Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food.

How to take Cialis:
Take Cialis about 30 minutes before you plan to have sex, ensuring you’re aroused for optimal results. Avoid alcohol, as it may reduce the effectiveness of the medication and cause dizziness.

What to do if Cialis isn’t working:
If you’ve taken Cialis more than 8 times without achieving results, consult your doctor to discuss a higher dose or explore other treatment options.

How often should I take Cialis?
Cialis should not be taken more than once per day. It works for up to 36 hours, so you’ll be able to get an erection when sexually aroused within that time frame. If you have sex more than twice a week, consider Cialis Daily, a lower-dose option taken daily.

How long should I take Cialis for?
You can continue taking Cialis as long as your doctor prescribes it. No long-term negative effects have been shown in research studies, but it should only be used as needed before sex.

Cialis is available in 4 dosages: 2 daily doses and 2 doses to be taken before sex. Daily doses may be a better choice if you have sex on more than two days per week.

  How often can I take Cialis?

  Cialis should be taken once a day. You can’t safely take Cialis more often than that. Since Cialis can last up to 36 hours you may not need to take it as often.

   

  If you have sex more often than twice a week, speak to your doctor about starting a lower dose option you can take daily, known as Cialis Daily (2.5mg or 5mg).

  How long does Cialis stay in your system?

  Each single Cialis tablet is effective in helping you get erections easier when you are sexually aroused, for up to 36 hours.

  Some of the active ingredients in Cialis may still be in your body for more than 2 days after taking a single tablet. This may even be longer if you have liver or kidney problems or if you take medicines that interact with Cialis, as it means your body may struggle to get rid of Cialis.

  Does Cialis make me last longer in bed?

  Cialis is not a treatment for premature ejaculation and is not prescribed for this condition except when you have erectile dysfunction alongside premature ejaculation. If you think you have both, or your PE is caused by erectile dysfunction, you can try Cialis. Cialis works to help you get an erection when you are sexually stimulated.

  Cialis may help you last longer in bed if the reason you are stopping is because you’re losing your erection before orgasm.

  Will Cialis make my erection bigger?

  Cialis can help you reach your maximum normal erection size if you aren’t able to because of erectile dysfunction. It does not physically increase the size of your penis, and won’t increase your normal maximum erection size.

  Can women take Cialis?

  Cialis is not approved for women as a treatment for low sex drive, but the active ingredient in Cialis (tadalafil) is used to treat pulmonary hypertension in both men and women.

  What is the difference between Cialis and Cialis Together?

  Cialis and Cialis Together contain the same active ingredient, tadalafil, and are both effective for up to 36 hours in helping you get and maintain an erection for sex.

  While Cialis is a prescription medicine, you can buy Cialis Together over-the-counter in most UK pharmacies.

  Cialis is available in doses of 10mg and 20mg but Cialis Together is only available in the 10mg dose.
