Headquartered in Alberta and serving men across Canada. Tadalafil (Cialis) is a Health Canada-approved PDE5 inhibitor for erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The Problem of Erectile Dysfunction
It is worth noting that any side effects experienced from tadalafil will typically last longer because the drug remains in the bloodstream significantly longer than sildenafil. If you’ve been prescribed ED medication in the past, or if you are looking for a prescription now, you will undoubtedly be asked whether you take nitrates. Nitrates like nitroglycerin can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and even lead to heart attack or stroke. Patients on nitroglycerin typically have serious cardiovascular issues that make taking ED medication risky in the first place. Patients taking recreational “poppers,” including amyl nitrate, amyl nitrite, and butyl nitrate, should not take ED medication.
How does Cialis work?
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist about other drug interactions to ensure safety when taking your ED meds. Dr. Engel likes to analogize erectile dysfunction to a roller coaster. Typically, there is a slow movement toward ED. However, once erectile dysfunction begins interfering with sexual activity, it is a downward slope that generally cannot be reversed. Available as as-needed 10-20 mg doses or once-daily 2.5-5 mg, it works up to 36 hours and earned the nickname 'the weekend pill.' Generic tadalafil typically costs $0.80-3 per tablet at Canadian pharmacies. TelePlus Care prescribes virtually after physician screening. Tadalafil is the only PDE5 inhibitor approved by Health Canada for both as-needed (10-20 mg) and once-daily (2.5-5 mg) dosing Onset is approximately 30-45 minutes; therapeutic effect lasts up to 36 hours, the longest of any oral ED medication Tadalafil 5 mg daily is also approved for the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Generic tadalafil typically costs $0.80-3 per tablet at Canadian pharmacies; brand Cialis costs $15-22 per tablet Tadalafil, sold under the brand name Cialis, is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis to help men with erectile dysfunction achieve and maintain an erection in response to sexual stimulation. It is also approved for the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Tadalafil's pharmacological feature that distinguishes it from sildenafil and vardenafil is its half-life of approximately 17.5 hours, giving a clinical effect that can last up to 36 hours, hence the nickname 'the weekend pill.' This longer window allows for more spontaneous intimacy without timing a dose to a specific event.

Why is this medication prescribed?
Erectile dysfunction medications help improve blood flow to the penis at least transiently. However, the underlying vascular issues associated with ED typically worsen with age, and there’s simply nothing we can do about it. As such, eventually, these drugs will no longer offer satisfying erections, at which point we need to consider further treatments, including injections or penile prostheses (implants). While both drugs offer about the same quality of erection, slightly more men achieved a satisfactory erection with sildenafil, according to a study.¹ However, as mentioned above, tadalafil remains in the bloodstream longer and, in the same study, was preferred by more men, probably for that reason. With generic prices as low as they are, Dr.
Canadian Brand Name
Engel believes that there is no single erectile dysfunction drug that should be prescribed to every patient. As mentioned above, each drug has its unique benefit and risk profile, which should be discussed during your consultation. With prices as they are, most patients can safely order both sildenafil and tadalafil to see which works best for them. Of course, if you experience any side effects with tadalafil 10mg daily either drug, stop and switch to the other medication. If the side effects are severe or long-lasting, seek prompt medical attention. Daily 2.5-5 mg -- Taken at the same time each day, regardless of sexual activity.
Indications for Use
Patients may also develop a blue hue to their vision. Most of these side effects are transient and will disappear after stopping the drug. Loss of vision is a potentially severe side effect of sildenafil in certain very rare clinical situations, and you should stop the drug and get medical help immediately if this occurs, as this can, in very rare cases, lead to permanent blindness. Patients with certain eye problems, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes), and smokers may be at higher risk. Patients taking tadalafil have a slightly different side effect profile.
Cialis 5mg daily: How long before it works?
Like sildenafil, tadalafil can cause headaches, indigestion, and nasal congestion. However, tadalafil can also cause unique symptoms like back pain, cough, and upper respiratory tract infections. Interestingly, while both drugs have side effects, recent studies have shown that they may reduce the risk of early death from heart disease by up to 25%. This does not make them a treatment for heart disease, nor does it replace any therapies you may currently be taking for cardiovascular issues. Both drugs have a relatively mild risk profile. Steady-state plasma levels reached after about 5 days. Daily dosing also for BPH -- Tadalafil 5 mg once daily relieves urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate while also treating ED, useful for men with both conditions. Maximum frequency -- One dose per 24-hour period for as-needed regimens. Do not combine daily and as-needed dosing. Food and alcohol -- Tadalafil is unaffected by food. Moderate alcohol is acceptable; heavy drinking increases dizziness and lowers blood pressure. Older adults or kidney/liver impairment -- Reduced dose is recommended; your physician will adjust based on your medical profile. Most adult men with erectile dysfunction or BPH symptoms are candidates for tadalafil after a physician confirms there are no contraindications. Adult men aged 18+ with ED -- Tadalafil is approved exclusively for men. Men with both ED and BPH symptoms -- Daily 5 mg tadalafil treats both conditions simultaneously.
Comparing Side Effects
The time it takes for the drug to function will vary between patients, so use prior experience as a guide. Of note, sildenafil, a generic Viagra, can be somewhat inhibited after eating a large meal containing fatty foods, and this is not a concern with tadalafil (generic Cialis). We often suggest sildenafil for married couples or long-term partners with a more predictable sex life. Cialis may be more appropriate for patients who are dating, as the big meals often associated with early dating can cause sildenafil to be less effective. Regarding which medication allows an erection to last longer, the clear winner is tadalafil.
1. They Look Different
Sildenafil remains effective for four to six hours, while tadalafil will enable patients to achieve erections up to 36 hours after ingestion, an effect usually seen in younger patients or lesser degrees of ED. In both cases, the drug does not increase desire, instead allowing for a better erection when the desire is present. As with any medication, side effects are associated with both sildenafil and tadalafil. Generally, however, both drugs are well tolerated and have few severe side effects. Patients taking sildenafil may experience headaches, nausea, flushing, stuffy nose, and on occasion, indigestion, or dizziness. Stable cardiovascular health -- Sexual activity is comparable to mild-to-moderate exercise; men with controlled hypertension, treated coronary disease, or stable angina can typically use tadalafil. No nitrate use -- Tadalafil is absolutely contraindicated with any nitrate medication (nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate, etc.) due to severe hypotension risk. Not within 6 months of stroke, MI, or unstable angina -- Sexual activity and PDE5 inhibitors should be deferred. Discuss alpha-blockers, antifungals, and HIV medications -- These interact with tadalafil and may require dose adjustment.
