Tadalafil
The active ingredient in Cialis® — long-acting, daily or as-needed.
Tadalafil is a long-acting PDE5 inhibitor — the active ingredient in Cialis®. Its extended duration makes a low daily dose or as-needed use possible, for more spontaneity than shorter-acting options.
Prescription required. Final clinical decisions rest with the prescribing physician.
What is Tadalafil?
Tadalafil improves blood flow to support erections, like sildenafil, but with a much longer duration (up to ~36 hours). That allows two approaches: a low daily dose for always-ready spontaneity, or a higher as-needed dose before activity.
As a generic, it offers the same active ingredient as Cialis® affordably. A physician confirms suitability — particularly around heart health and nitrate medications.
