Tadalafil (Cialis) is used to treat erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). It is also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, allowing increased blood flow into your penis when you get sexually excited.
You should not take tadalafil if you have been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
Tadalafil may also cause side effects such as headache, flushing, upset stomach, nasal congestion, dizziness, and vision changes. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking tadalafil and seek medical help right away.

If you’re looking for a reliable solution to enhance your sexual health, Cialis is a popular medication that has been around since the late 1990s. It’s widely available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and liquids, providing patients with a convenient and accessible option for managing their sexual history. With its ability to improve erectile function, Cialis has become a popular choice among men seeking to enhance their sexual performance.
However, it’s important to note that while Cialis is a popular medication, it should only be used under the guidance and prescription of a healthcare professional. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication, including Cialis. This article will provide insights into the potential benefits and side effects associated with this medication, including its ability to improve sexual function and overall sexual health.
Cialis, also known by its generic name tadalafil, is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, enabling men to achieve and maintain an erection. It is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and liquids, making it convenient for patients to use without hassle. The active ingredient in Cialis is Tadalafil, a medication that works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for breaking down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).
Cialis, also known as tadalafil, is a popular medication used to treat ED and BPH. By increasing blood flow to the penis, it helps men achieve and maintain an erection, making it a convenient option for individuals seeking to enhance their sexual health.
This increased blood flow helps men achieve and sustain erections, making Cialis a convenient option for individuals looking to improve their sexual performance.
When taking Cialis, it’s essential to be aware of the potential side effects and reactions. The dosage and duration of treatment can vary based on individual needs and medical history, making it crucial to follow the recommended dosage instructions carefully. Here are some typical side effects to be aware of:
Headache
Indigestion
Stomach pain
Back pain
Nausea
Cialis, also known as tadalafil, is a medication that helps men achieve and maintain an erection.
Patients can experience several benefits when using Cialis:
It works by relaxing blood vessels in the penis, allowing for increased blood flow to the penis.
It helps with erectile dysfunction, which is when a man cannot get or maintain an erection long enough for sexual intercourse.
It helps with managing and easing symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland becomes enlarged.
While Cialis is generally well-tolerated, it is important to be aware of potential side effects.
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:

On 14 March 2023, the UK Medicines regulator approved an application to reclassify the erectile dysfunction medication Cialis. When marketed asCialis Together(tadalafil 10mg), it will be a ‘P’ (pharmacy) medication, and so available ‘over the counter’ in pharmacies – see. This follows the 2018, ‘P’ classification of (sildenafil 50mg) which has been available OTC, without a prescription, since then.
This decision is good news for men’s health …. Erectile dysfunction can be a debilitating condition, so it’s important men feel they have fast access to quality and legitimate care
Dr Laura Squire, MHRA’s Chief Officer for Healthcare, Quality and Access
Unfortunately, there is a strong black market in the UK for ED medicines, which are often unlicensed or counterfeit. UK Border Force and the MHRA seize millions of pounds of these fake products from criminals annually. This new classification of tadalafil 10mg will enable men who suffer from ED to obtain it safely from a local pharmacy.
Sanofi, the drug manufacturer, is expected to launch Cialis Together later in 2023. Cialis Together will be available to purchase in pharmacies without a prescription by men over 18 with erectile dysfunction. Cialis Together tablets will contain 10mg tadalafil and the maximum pack size will be 8 tablets. Other doses and pack sizes of Cialis and tadalafil will still be available on prescription through doctors and specially trained pharmacists. Before purchase in a pharmacy there must be an assessment with a pharmacist, who will check that Cialis Together is appropriate and safe, or whether consultation with a GP is necessary.
Men suffering with ED will have another treatment option with the convenience of purchasing it in their local pharmacy, including pharmacies found inside supermarkets (eg. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s). The pharmacist will ask some health questions, may check blood pressure, and will advise on treatment with Cialis Together or Viagra Connect, or the need to consult a GP. Pharmacies usually have a private room for such discussions.
Cialis Together is a 10mg tadalafil product for use at least 30 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity. Its effects can last. It is not recommended for daily use. The maximum recommended dose of Cialis Together will be one tablet in 24 hours. Prescription Cialis and tadalafil will still be available at different doses.
Dr Fox welcomes the wider access to ED medication for men that Cialis Together classified as a ‘P’ OTC medication will provide. We at Dr Fox are aware of the difficulties men have in discussing ED with their GPs and in accessing ED medication. We know that Cialis is effective and safe for most men and this change provides another option for obtaining ED treatment. Pharmacists are health professionals who are able to give ED advice but they will also know when to refer men who would benefit from a doctor’s assessment. ‘P’ medicines can also be supplied on prescription, and we will offer Cialis Together, when available, alongside our other competitively priced ED products.
Dr Claire Pugh, Dr Fox Medical Director
In the UK have 3 categories:
Cialis Together is a 90mg medicine which is available from a doctor or from a special sale licence from your local pharmacy. It is taken as needed, 30 minutes, before sexual activity, up to 4 hours after full dosing.
