Private support for erectile dysfunction

A UK prescriber reviews your health information before any prescription is approved, with discreet delivery if treatment is prescribed.

What are Cialis tablets?

Cialis is the branded medicine containing tadalafil. The 10 mg and 20 mg tablets on this page are prescription-only treatments for erectile dysfunction in adult men. They help increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, which can help you get and maintain an erection. They do not increase sexual desire or cause an erection without arousal.

How long does Cialis last?

Cialis can be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity and may remain effective for up to 36 hours. This is a window in which the medicine may help you respond to sexual stimulation, not a continuous erection. Response varies, and treatment is not guaranteed to work for everyone.

Cialis 10 mg or 20 mg: which strength is suitable?

The usual starting dose for use when needed is 10 mg. A prescriber may consider 20 mg if 10 mg has not provided enough benefit and the higher dose is appropriate for your health. Do not increase your dose yourself.

These strengths are not intended for continuous daily use. Daily treatment uses a different, lower-dose regimen. Tell your prescriber how often you need treatment, what you have tried before and any side effects you have experienced.

How your online consultation works

  1. Tell us about your health. Complete the online erectile dysfunction consultation, including your symptoms, medical history and current medicines.
  2. Receive a clinical assessment. A prescriber checks whether treatment is appropriate and may request more information or recommend another option.
  3. Receive treatment discreetly if prescribed. The Care Pharmacy dispenses approved prescriptions and is available if you have questions about your medicine.

What to know before taking Cialis

Follow your prescription and read the leaflet supplied with your tablets. Swallow the prescribed dose with water, with or without food. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours or combine it with other erectile dysfunction medicines.

Do not take Cialis with nitrates for chest pain, recreational “poppers” or riociguat. Tell your prescriber about all medicines and any heart, blood pressure, kidney, liver or eye conditions. Cialis is unsuitable for some people, including those advised to avoid sexual activity.

Common side effects include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing and a blocked nose. Seek immediate medical help for chest pain, sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than four hours. If you develop chest pain, do not take nitrates and tell the medical team when you last took Cialis.

Read the Cialis 20 mg patient information leaflet for full safety information. Always use the leaflet supplied with your prescribed strength.

Take the next step in getting help

You do not need to choose a strength on your own. Start an erectile dysfunction consultation with The Care Pharmacy so a prescriber can assess your options.

How should I take Cialis 10 mg or 20 mg?

These tablets are taken when needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Take only the strength prescribed for you. Cialis can be taken with or without food and requires sexual stimulation to work.

Do not take more than one dose in a day. Neither the 10 mg nor the 20 mg strength is intended for continuous daily use. If you are considering daily treatment, speak to your prescriber about the separate lower-dose options.

Follow your prescription and the patient information leaflet. Excessive alcohol can increase side effects and make erection difficulties worse.

What ingredients are in Cialis?

Cialis contains tadalafil. The tablets on this page contain either 10 mg or 20 mg of tadalafil and are used for erectile dysfunction.

Cialis contains lactose. Check the patient information leaflet supplied with your pack for the full ingredients list, especially if you have an allergy or intolerance. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure whether an ingredient is suitable for you.

Warnings And Precautions

Cialis may not be suitable for everyone. You should consult a healthcare professional before use, particularly if you have heart disease, low or high blood pressure, a history of stroke or heart attack, liver or kidney problems, or certain eye conditions.

Do not take Cialis if you are using nitrate medications for chest pain or recreational drugs containing nitrates, as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Caution is also required if you are taking alpha-blockers or other medicines that affect blood pressure.

Alcohol intake should be limited, as excessive drinking may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness or light-headedness. Do not use Cialis if you have been advised to avoid sexual activity for medical reasons.

If you experience chest pain, a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours, sudden vision or hearing changes, or any unusual symptoms, seek medical advice immediately. Always follow the prescribed dosage and guidance provided by your healthcare professional.

What Are The Side Effects Of Cialis?

Cialis may cause side effects, which can range from mild to more serious. Common side effects include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing and nasal congestion. Some men may also experience dizziness.

Less commonly, side effects can include changes in blood pressure, rapid heartbeat or visual disturbances. In rare cases, more serious reactions may occur, such as chest pain, sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting longer than four hours.

If you experience severe or persistent symptoms, seek medical advice promptly. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping Cialis to ensure it is safe and suitable for your individual health needs.

How Do I Store Cialis?

Store Cialis in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets out of sight and reach of children and pets. Avoid storing them in the bathroom or near heat sources.

Always keep Cialis in its original packaging to protect it from damage and contamination. Do not use the medication after the expiry date printed on the pack. If you have any questions about storage, speak to your pharmacist or prescriber for advice.

Cialis usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes. You don’t need to rush—once it kicks in, it can remain effective for up to 36 hours. Just remember, sexual arousal is still needed.
No, not the 20 mg strength. This version is meant to be taken as needed, not daily. Never take more than one tablet in 24 hours. If you’re looking for a daily option, speak to your doctor about lower-dose tablets.
It does for many men, but not always. If it doesn’t work right away, try again another time. Make sure you’re sexually aroused, as Cialis won’t work without it. If there’s still no improvement, speak to your GP.
A small amount is usually fine, but drinking too much can affect your ability to get an erection. It may also increase your chances of side effects like dizziness or low blood pressure.
Taking more than one tablet in 24 hours can increase your risk of side effects. If you accidentally take too much, speak to a doctor straight away—even if you feel fine.
