Cialis (Tadalafil) is known as a PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Cialis is available as daily 2.5 or 5mg tablets for sexually active men. It also comes in 10mg or 20mg pills taken when needed.
It contains the active ingredient tadalafil, which belongs to a class of PDE5 inhibitors. This prescription medicine works by relaxing the blood vessels that flow into the penis. When more blood flows, a satisfactory erection is achieved. Men need to be sexually aroused to get an adequate erection.
On-demand use:
For on-demand Cialis (10mg or 20mg), it starts working within 30 to 60 minutes.
Daily use:
For daily use, it builds up gradually and allows an erection whenever right without needing to time the dosage.
It remains effective for up to 36 hours, making it the longest-lasting PDE5 inhibitor, and because of this extended window of effectiveness, it is often referred to as “the weekend pill.”
Cialis is a clinically proven and widely used treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED):
Daily dose offers consistent readiness and improved confidence
Studies show that 60-80% men experience improved erections
It is also effective in relieving urinary symptoms associated with BPH

Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours

What is Cialis?
Cialis is a medication to treat erectile dysfunction and contains tadalafil. It is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and helps men achieve and maintain erections by improving blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.
How long does Cialis last?
Cialis can remain effective for up to 36 hours after a single dose, making it the longest-acting ED treatment available.
How to get the maximum effect from Cialis?
Take Cialis at least 30–60 minutes before sex, avoid alcohol intake and high-fat meals. If using it daily, take it at the same time each day for steady results.
Is 20mg Cialis equal to 100mg Viagra?
Not exactly. 20mg of Cialis and 100mg of Viagra are both high doses of ED treatments, but they differ in duration and onset. Cialis lasts longer (up to 36 hours), while Viagra works faster but for 4–6 hours.
Is Cialis better than Viagra?
Cialis lasts longer, while Viagra acts faster. Cialis is better for daily use; Viagra may suit those seeking a short-term effect.
How does Cialis work?
Cialis works by relaxing blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow during sexual stimulation. It inhibits PDE5, an enzyme that restricts erection.
Does Cialis lower blood pressure?
Yes, Cialis may cause a slight drop in blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. This effect is usually mild but can be risky when combined with nitrates or alpha-blockers. Consult your doctor before use.
How long does Cialis take to work?
Cialis usually begins working in 30 to 60 minutes, although some users report effects in as little as 15 minutes.

Can women take Cialis?
Cialis is not approved for women, and research has shown limited results for its use in female sexual dysfunction issues.
Does Cialis make you last longer?
Cialis helps you maintain an erection longer, but it does not directly delay ejaculation. Many men find improved sexual confidence and performance.
Can you take Viagra and Cialis together?
No, never combine Viagra and Cialis. Taking both can increase the risk of severe side effects, including dangerous drops in blood pressure. Only one ED medication should be taken at a time.
Which is best, Viagra or Cialis?
Viagra works faster but lasts for a shorter time; Cialis lasts longer (up to 36 hours). The best option depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and health. Some men prefer Cialis for its flexibility.
