In November 2017, the drug company which produces Cialis lost its’ patent allowing different companies to produce generic equivalents of Cialis at a much lower cost. This is great news for patients who can benefit from generic Tadalafil and pay less than 1/3 of the price of branded Cialis.

If you still want to use branded Cialis, it is available to order.

Tadalafil (and Cialis) is slightly different to the other treatments available as it lasts in the blood stream for 36 hours after consumption, leading it to be nicknamed "The Weekend Pill" as a dose taken on Friday night should last through to Sunday morning. It also only needs to be taken 30 minutes before sex. It is available in four strengths: 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg.

A further difference with Tadalafil is the 2.5mg and 5mg strengths which are taken every day and are designed for patients who anticipate sexual activity at least twice weekly.

The starting dose of Tadalafil is 10mg at least 30 minutes before sexual activity

No more than two doses of 10mg or 20mg treatments should be consumed in a week. As with the other treatments, multiple attempts should be undertaken before deciding the drug is not working for you.
