Tadalafil 2.5mg and 5mg can be used on a daily basis<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tadalafil is the medical \u2013 or generic \u2013 name for the Cialis brand of erectile dysfunction medicine<\/a>. Tadalafil works in a similar way to sildenafil (Viagra), however whereas sildenafil lasts for around 4 hours, tadalafil remains active for up to 36 hours<\/strong>, hence why it is sometime called the weekend pill<\/em>. This does not mean you will have an erection for 36 hours, only when required, eg: when sexually aroused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most men take tadalafil as and when they need it 30 minutes or more before sexual activity. The usual starting dose is tadalafil 10mg, which \u2013 depending on effectiveness \u2013 may be increased to 20mg or decreased to 5mg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Can I take tadalafil every day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Men who anticipate sexual activity twice a week or more may find that a low-dose (2.5mg or 5mg) tadalafil tablet taken every day, at the same time of day, more suited to their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tadalafil has a 36-hour duration of action after which the amount of the drug left in the body is no longer considered effective. A low daily dose taken every 24 hours will build-up to a continuous effective concentration in the blood.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefit of this is sexual activity can be more spontaneous, requiring less forward planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to this study in 2009:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Once-daily 2.5 mg or 5 mg tadalafil provides a new therapeutic alternative for men, who may be looking for a dosing option that avoids scheduling sexual activity, and for couples, who may prefer more convenience and spontaneity in their sexual lives. Taking once daily tadalafil at a lower dose may be as effective as taking higher on-demand doses, and appears to be safe.<\/p>\nTadalafil once daily in the management of erectile dysfunction: patient and partner perspectives<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
