Cialis Daily (tadalafil) is a prescription medication designed for the ongoing management of erectile dysfunction (ED). Unlike on-demand treatments, this low-dose, once-daily formulation provides men with the freedom to be spontaneously intimate, eliminating the need to plan around medication timing. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating erections when sexual stimulation occurs. By maintaining a consistent level of the active ingredient in your bloodstream, it offers a 24/7 readiness that can significantly reduce performance anxiety and improve sexual quality of life. This treatment option is suited for men who anticipate frequent sexual activity and prefer a maintenance approach to managing their condition.

Common use

Cialis Daily is prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It is intended for individuals who anticipate being sexually active on a frequent basis (e.g., twice weekly or more) and prefer the convenience of not having to plan medication around each sexual encounter. It is not indicated for use in women or children.

Dosage and direction

The recommended starting dose for Cialis Daily is 2.5 mg taken orally once per day. Based on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 5 mg once daily. It should be taken at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. Sexual activity may occur at any time after initiation of treatment. Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours. The medication must be prescribed by a healthcare provider who will determine the appropriate dose based on individual health status and concomitant medications.

Precautions

• Inform your healthcare provider of all medical conditions, especially heart problems (e.g., angina, heart failure, irregular heartbeats), history of heart attack, stroke, or uncontrolled high/low blood pressure.
• Notify your physician if you have liver or kidney impairment, retinal disorders, or a deformity of the penis.
• Avoid consuming alcohol in excess, as it may increase the risk of side effects like dizziness or lowering blood pressure.
• This medication does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
• Priapism (a prolonged and painful erection lasting more than 4 hours) is a rare but serious condition; seek immediate medical attention if this occurs to prevent permanent damage.

Contraindications

Cialis Daily is contraindicated in patients:

• Using any form of organic nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate or dinitrate) or nitric oxide donors regularly or intermittently.
• With a known hypersensitivity to tadalafil or any component of the tablet.
• Who have experienced non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in one eye, as there is a potential risk of recurrence.

Possible side effect

Common side effects may include:

• Headache
• Indigestion
• Back pain
• Muscle aches
• Flushing
• Stuffy or runny nose

Less common but serious side effects require prompt medical attention:

• Sudden vision loss
• Sudden hearing decrease or loss
• Erection lasting more than 4 hours
• Chest pain, dizziness, or nausea during sexual activity
• Symptoms of a heart attack (e.g., chest pain, nausea, pain spreading to the jaw or shoulder)
• Allergic reactions such as rash, hives, or swelling

Drug interaction

Tadalafil can interact with several medications, potentially increasing the risk of side effects or reducing efficacy:

• Nitrates (absolute contraindication): May cause a severe drop in blood pressure.
• Alpha-blockers (e.g., doxazosin, tamsulosin): Use with caution; concomitant use can lower blood pressure significantly.
• Antihypertensives: May potentiate blood pressure-lowering effects.
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir): May increase tadalafil exposure; dose adjustment may be necessary.
• Grapefruit juice: May increase tadalafil concentrations; avoid consumption.

Missed dose

If you miss a dose of Cialis Daily, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Overdose

In case of suspected overdose (e.g., taking more than the prescribed daily amount), seek immediate medical attention or contact a Poison Control Center. Symptoms of overdose may include severe headache, dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or prolonged erection. Supportive measures and symptomatic treatment are typically employed.

Storage

Store Cialis Daily at room temperature (68°F to 77°F or 20°C to 25°C), in the original container, away from light, moisture, and heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging.
