• Onset of action for on-demand use is typically 30-45 minutes.
• Maximum plasma concentration is reached within 2 hours.
• High-fat meal can delay time to maximum concentration.
• The 36-hour window does not mean an erection lasts that long.
• It means the ability to get an erection when stimulated is possible.
• Daily dosing leads to steady-state concentration in about 5 days.

Access your plan list on any device – mobile or desktop.

• Available as round, yellow, film-coated tablets imprinted with "10".
• Manufactured by various companies (e.g., Ajanta, Aurobindo, Teva).
• Generic tadalafil is bioequivalent to the brand-name drug.
• Check pill identification resources if unsure of medication.
• Report any suspected adverse reactions to the FDA or equivalent.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Age > 65 years, hepatic impairment: 25 mg Severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 ml/min): 25 mg Moderate hepatic impairment: initial 5 mg, max 10 mg Mild, moderate, severe renal impairment: No adjustment Mild or moderate hepatic impairment: max 10 mg once daily Moderate renal impairment: initial 5 mg once daily, max 10 mg every 48 hours Severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 ml/min) on hemodialysis: max 5 mg Taking 40 mg of Cialis, which is double the dose of the drug, could cause serious side effects. Speak with a prescribing doctor if Cialis is not effective for you. Cialis is a brand-name version of tadalafil, a popular medication for treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Taking the medication helps you get the maximum effect while avoiding side effects. Reasons not to take 40 milligrams (mg) of Cialis include how the drug works and its duration.

Are There Any Other Benefits?

For example, PDE5 is found in tissues in the lungs, kidneys, liver, brain, and platelets. Cialis also affects PDE11, which is found in tissues in the: corpus cavernosum, one of two columns of spongy tissue that runs through the penis Doubling the maximum dose of Cialis to 40 mg can increase the chances of experiencing side effects, which include: Priapism is an erection lasting longer than 4 hours caused by not enough blood leaving the penis, leading to low oxygen levels. The most severe type is ischemic priapism, which requires urgent medical intervention to avoid long-term damage to penile tissue. Another reason not to double your dose is the long-lasting effects of Cialis. Cialis’s effects last much longer (up to 36 hours) than those of other PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra (4 to 5 hours).

1. Age

So, Cialis stays in your body and clears slowly. Adding doses on top of what’s already in your system can increase the risk of side effects. It limits the effect of the PDE5 enzyme in the penis, allowing blood vessels in your penis to relax so blood can flow into the penis, helping to get or keep an erection. Keep in mind that Cialis won’t work unless you’re stimulated or aroused. Cialis, a brand-name version of tadalafil, is available by prescription in tablet form in four strengths: The dose of Cialis for ED depends on your age and if you’re taking it once daily (lower dose) or as needed (higher dose). Increasing the dose could result in side effects. If you feel your current dosage isn’t working, there may be options to consider. Let’s look at Cialis, why you should avoid taking too much, and more. Optum Perks is owned by RVO Health.

Use Case	Description	Typical Usage
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment	Helps achieve/maintain erections	Taken as needed before sex
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)	Relieves urinary symptoms	Taken daily or as prescribed
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (off-label)	Off-label use in some cases	Under medical supervision
Enhancing Exercise Performance	Some anecdotal reports	Not approved, consult doctor first

So, what can you do?

Speak with a prescribing doctor if Cialis is not effective for you. Cialis is a brand-name version of tadalafil, a popular medication for treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Taking the medication helps you get the maximum effect while avoiding side effects. Reasons not to take 40 milligrams (mg) of Cialis include how the drug works and its duration. Increasing the dose could result in side effects. If a doctor has prescribed Cialis for pulmonary arterial hypertension, you may be advised to take two 20-mg doses a day. But taking that much of the medication should be done only under a tadalafil weekend pill doctor’s guidance.

• Discontinue tadalafil and seek help if erection lasts >4 hours.
• Priapism can cause permanent damage to penile tissue.
• Treatment for priapism may involve draining blood from the penis.
• This is a urological emergency requiring immediate hospital care.
• Risk factors for priapism: sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma.
• Having a prior episode of priapism increases your risk.

While Cialis works for ED by affecting the PDE5 enzyme in the penis, it also affects other PDE enzymes in tissues and cells in other areas of the body.

What should I do if I forget a dose?

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) dosing guidelines for ED symptoms, the recommended dose for Cialis once daily is 2.5 mg to start and may be increased to 5 mg if needed. The recommended dose for as-needed Cialis is 10 mg and may be adjusted up or down to a maximum of 20 mg. It’s part of a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors and is prescribed for the following conditions: Tadalafil treats ED by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal.
