The daily pill
Cialis®
Cialis® helps you get and maintain your erections with a simple, once-a-day dosage. Cialis® stays in your system for longer than other ED medications, so you can have sex when you want—with no waiting for a pill to kick in. Treat ED with either genuine Cialis® or it’s low-cost generic equivalent Tadalafil for over 50% in savings. It’s hard, made easy.
What is Cialis®?
Cialis® is an FDA-approved oral erectile dysfunction treatment that helps men with ED get and keep harder erections. Cialis® is the brand name of the drug Tadalafil. Like Viagra® and Levitra®, Cialis® is a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (aka, PDE5 inhibitor) that improves blood flow to specific parts of your body, including the blood vessels in your penis. With daily use, Cialis® helps you be ready for sexual activity, whenever the mood and stimulation arise.
How does Cialis® work?
Cialis® works by promoting a balance of enzymes necessary to produce and maintain an erection. When aroused, the penis produces a cascade effect of nitric oxide and an enzyme that normally gets your penis hard. Like all PDE5 inhibitors, Cialis® protects the enzyme responsible for erections—so you get more blood flow in and less blood flow out. But while most popular ED drugs last only a few hours, Cialis® stays in your system for 24-36 hours, which means that daily Cialis® can help you be ready when you need it.
How to buy Cialis® online safely
Hims offers access to prescriptions for Cialis® online, without in-person trips to the doctor’s office or copays. When you start your online medical visit through the Hims platform, you will answer questions and consult with a medical professional, who will evaluate you and prescribe the right dosage if they determine Cialis® is right for you. If prescribed, genuine, FDA-approved Cialis® from a licensed pharmacy will be shipped discreetly to your door. Why is this important? Because Cialis® is not available over the counter in the US and must be prescribed by a licensed medical provider. Any website that claims to sell Cialis® over the counter to US customers is not complying with the law and potentially selling counterfeit medication, which can contain toxic or faulty ingredients that pose risks to you.
How to take Cialis®
Hims offers once-a-day Cialis® in a 5mg tablet dose. Typically, this dosage of Cialis® is taken once a day at the same time, no matter how often you have sex. Because Cialis® stays in your system for 24-36 hours, spontaneous sex can happen when you want it 😏. It only takes 4-5 days for daily Cialis® to become fully effective and you can expect peak plasma concentration in as little as 30 minutes. Cialis® can be taken with or without food, so taking it around the same mealtime is an option. But, do not take Cialis® more than once every 24 hours. As always, read all information that comes with your prescription, including all safety information, and only take Cialis® as directed by your doctor.
Cialis® vs. Viagra®
Both Cialis® (Tadalafil) and Viagra® (Sildenafil) work to help you get it up and keep it up, but there are differences. For starters, you always have to “time” your sex after taking Viagra® — not so with daily Cialis®. Cialis® works for longer (up to 36 hours) compared with Viagra® (2 to 4 hours). Cialis® comes in 4 doses (2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg) and Viagra® comes in 3 doses (25mg, 50mg or 100mg). Cialis® can be taken on a full stomach unlike Viagra®, which is not as effective on a full stomach (eg, delayed by 60 minutes with a high-fat meal). And finally, cost: Cialis® is less expensive per pill than Viagra® but, taken as a daily regimen, it could cost more per month. If cost is important to you, consider generic tadalafil at less than half the price.
Common side effects of Cialis®
Side effects most commonly associated with Cialis® include headaches, flushing, upset stomach, abnormal vision, stuffy nose, angina (chest pain), back pain, muscle aches, indigestion, hearing loss, and rash. If you have persistent side effects, talk to your health care professional. If you have a prolonged erection that lasts longer than 4 hours, you may have a serious medical condition called priapism. Other rare serious side effects are low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, heart attack, heart failure. allergic reaction or NAION (sudden loss of vision). If any serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately.
