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 PDE5 inhibitor that improves blood flow to specific parts of your body, including 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 dosage. 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 meal time 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, runny or stuffy nose, back and muscle pain, nausea, dizziness, and rash. If you have any side effects that bother you or do not go away, talk to your doctor. If you have a prolonged erection that lasts longer than 4 hours, you may have a medical condition called priapism, which requires prompt medical treatment to prevent damage to your penis. If this happens, seek emergency care immediately.

is Cialis used to treat enlarged prostate?

Yes, Cialis is FDA-approved to treat enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). This condition is common in men over the age of 50. However, if you are suffering from symptoms of enlarged prostate, such as a constant need to urinate, you should seek in-person treatment from a healthcare provider. Hims only offers access to online consultations for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

how long does it take for Cialis to work?

When taken as-needed and at a higher dose, Cialis typically starts working within 30-60 minutes, so you will need to take it about an hour before sex to give it time to kick in. However, when Cialis is taken daily and at a lower dose, it may take a few days to build up in your system. After four or five days of daily use, you may find that you are able to have successful sex at your leisure.

how long does Cialis last?

The effects of Cialis can last up to 36 hours, but the highest amount of the drug can typically be found in the bloodstream between 30 minutes and six hours after taking Cialis. However, because Cialis remains in the body for longer than other ED medications, it is important not to take Cialis more than once every 24 hours.
