Overview

Cialis daily is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis when sexually stimulated, resulting in a firmer and longer-lasting erection. Tadalafil daily and Cialis daily are both the same drug, Cialis is the branded version and Tadalafil is the generic version but they both contain the same active ingredient, which is Tadalafil. Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor and is taken daily when taken at a dose of 2.5mg or 5mg.

Cialis vs Cialis daily

One tablet of Cialis at a dose of 10mg or 20mg is effective for up to 36 hours. Most men take Cialis at this higher dose when required, when they expect to be sexually active in the next 36 hours. A daily tablet is available at a lower dose of 2.5mg or 5mg, you should consult your doctor before starting on regular daily treatment. The lower dose is for men that require treatment 2 or more times a week, as the daily tablet provides continuous treatment without build up of the drug in the body. The 5mg tablet is for men that do not respond to the 2.5mg tablet. For both types of Cialis tablets, sexual stimulation is still required, neither tablets will help achieve an erection without sexual stimulation.

How does Cialis daily work?

Cialis daily is taken once every 24 hours at the same time and it works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps to achieve and maintain a firmer and longer-lasting erection. Cialis daily builds up effectiveness gradually and comes into full effect approximately 5 days after taking it, then there will be a continuous effective concentration of Cialis in the blood. It is important to know that in order for Cialis daily to work, sexual arousal and stimulation is still required, without this you will not achieve an erection even if you have taken Cialis daily.
