Cialis Daily (Tadalafil)

What is Cialis Daily®?

Cialis Daily® is a prescription treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains tadalafil, a clinically proven medicine that helps increase blood flow to the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused.

Unlike on-demand ED treatments, Cialis Daily® is taken once a day. This allows the medication to remain active in your system, so you can achieve an erection whenever sexual stimulation occurs without needing to plan ahead.

Available Strengths

Cialis Daily® 2.5mg

Cialis Daily® 2.5mg is the lower daily dose and may be suitable for men who are sensitive to tadalafil or who require a lower maintenance dose. It may also be recommended depending on your response to treatment and individual medical circumstances.

Cialis Daily® 5mg

Cialis Daily® 5mg is the standard daily dose for erectile dysfunction and is suitable for many men seeking continuous treatment. Taking Cialis Daily® every day allows the medication to maintain a consistent level in your system.

Our clinicians will recommend the most appropriate strength based on your medical history, current medications and response to treatment.

How Does Cialis Daily® Work?

Cialis Daily® belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.

Cialis Daily® does not increase sexual desire and only works when sexual arousal is present.

Because tadalafil remains active in the body for an extended period, daily dosing provides continuous treatment and allows for greater spontaneity.
