What is Cialis’ active ingredient?

Cialis is a drug acting as a PDE-5 inhibitor for erectile dysfunction. Launched in 2003 by Eli Lilly Laboratories, the drug, whose action-period time is equal to 36 hours, is now used by millions of men worldwide. The main advantage of Cialis compared to its competitors like Viagra, Levitra or Spedra is its duration of action. The excessive length allows patients to no longer have to plan sex ahead. For example, if the patient takes the medication on Friday night, it will be active until Sunday daytime.
The treatment’s active ingredient is Tadalafil. The objective of Tadalafil is to inhibit the phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme (PDE-5) which is responsible for the erectile reduction. Blocking the phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme increases the blood flow to the penis, and blood flow to the man’s penis is then improved. An erection is possible after sexual stimulation.

The effect of Tadalafil occurs 30 minutes after taking the pill.
The treatment aims to help men who have trouble getting an erection but also to those who have difficulty maintaining an erection.
What are the different dosages of Tadalafil?
Cialis is available in tablets of 2.5mg; 5mg; 10mg; and 20mg. The choice of dosage depends on how often you plan to use the medication, and if you have already tried other treatments in the past.
Different dosages of Cialis Tadalafil?
Tadalafil 10 mg | The 10 mg dose is the lowest. It is generally advisable to men who are taking Cialis for the first time. The 10mg pill is also recommended for men suffering from kidney or liver problems, or men taking alpha-blockers |
Tadalafil 20 mg | If the 10 mg dose does not give you the desired results, the doctor can according to your health condition prescribe a higher dose. |
The higher dose may not be recommended by the doctor that if you have not suffered significant side effects associated with taking 10mg of Tadalafil.
It is recommended to take Cialis with a glass of water 30 minutes before the start of intercourse.
Low dosage tablets such as 2.5mg can be taken once a day. The most powerful tablets should be taken less frequently. Do not take Cialis more than one tablet per day, regardless of the dosage of your medication.
It is important to note that the erection will occur only in the presence of sexual stimulation. There is no risk of getting an uncontrolled erection.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages or particularly rich and greasy food can have a direct consequence of reducing or cancelling the effects of Cialis. In contrast, the side effects can be multiplied.
How long does the ED treatment last?

You can start to feel the effects of the pill only half an hour after taking it. Nicknamed the weekend pill, Cialis has the longest duration of action of all treatments for erectile dysfunction, with the effects lasting up to 36 hours. Thanks to its long duration of action, Cialis is one of the most effective treatments.
What are the side effects of Cialis Tadalafil?
The side effects of this treatment are generally very low and very rare because of its low dosage. However, like all drugs subject to medical prescription, some side effects can occur. The likelihood of experiencing these effects increases with the level of the dosage. The 10mg dose is recommended for all patients who had never taken the drug beforehand.
The most common side effects of Cialis
indigestion (dyspepsia) | increased heart rhythm |
redness | obstruction of the nasal cavity |
vertigo | headache |
Not all men feel the same side effects, and some will feel more than others. In all cases, Alfadoc advises you to read the manual before taking Cialis medication.
If you experience more severe side effects, it is highly advised you to go to your doctor as soon as possible.
What are the contraindications?
The weekend pill should be taken only by a male population aged 18 and older, who are in good health. Treatment is not recommended for men with an allergy to Tadalafil. It is also not recommended for people taking nitrates or who have hypertension. Alcohol consumption is not recommended with the medication. Finally, grapefruit juice consumption is totally contraindicated with taking Cialis. The fruit has the effect of multiplying the effects of the drug, which could lead, in some cases, to an unintentional overdose.
Interaction with other drugs
Be sure to tell your doctor about other medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken. Do not start or stop treatment without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. These precautions concern prescription drugs and freely available drugs.
If you are taking the following medicines, please tell your doctor: alpha-blocker or other medication against high blood pressure, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, antifungals, medicines for HIV / AIDS, anticonvulsants, rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin or Itraconazole.
Unless your doctor has authorised it, do not take Cialis tablet with other erectile dysfunction drugs.

How do I buy Cialis Online & in UK?

Various options are available to you to get the famous weekend pill. The first, of course, is the classic approach of simply going to a specialist.
Buy Cialis in a UK pharmacy
When you make an appointment with your doctor, the latter will auscultate you and do a comprehensive health examination. During the consultation, you will share your erectile dysfunction problem with him. The doctor, after conducting the consultation, will prescribe a prescription if your health condition allows. The next step will be to visit your pharmacist to buy Cialis. This approach is the most widespread, however, the problem with this is that it forces people to reveal their sexual problems to their doctor, who is probably also their partner or their children’s doctor. Then, you have to face the gaze of others in the pharmacy. In UK as in Europe, talking about his erectile problems is still taboo.
Buy Cialis online
Another solution is to buy Cialis online. This approach consists of searching for online clinics that allow patients to order or renew their medical treatments. After selecting the online clinic, you will need to complete a medical questionnaire. This consultation will then be examined by a doctor who will aim to check if your health condition allows you to take the drug. If this is the case, you can buy Cialis directly on the Internet.
Note that buying Cialis online must only be done from legal clinics. Some Internet sites offer the sale of treatments at low prices. Be careful, drugs are often fake and potentially harmful to your health.
Eli Lilly laboratory
Eli Lilly laboratories were established in 1876 by Mr Eli Lilly. Specialised in the design and marketing of pharmaceuticals, the multinational company with headquarters in the United States in Indianapolis, employs almost 40 000 employees in 143 countries. It is in France, in Fegersheim, Alsace to be precise, that is the most important brand production site is situated.
Eli Lilly is now famous thanks to the discovery of the first preparation of insulin. More than 100 years later, the labs are also known for their treatments against heart disease, cancer and even against male impotence with Cialis.
What is the origin of Cialis?
Originally, almost 20 years ago now, Pfizer sought a solution to treat angina. By discovering and testing the active agent, Sildenafil Pfizer quickly realised that the results differed from expected results. The most obvious side effect on patients was that Sildenafil caused an erection. The discovery of the blue pill represents a perfect serendipity. At the time, no treatment existed that allowed men to treat their erectile dysfunction. Pfizer patented their invention in 1996, and two years later, in 1998, Viagra was marketed in the US market. After arriving on the European market a few years later, the drug is now used by millions of men. Recognising this discovery, Ely Lilly laboratories then sought to design and offer an alternative to Viagra 5 years later, Cialis Tadalafil.
How should Cialis be stored?

Like all medications, the blue pill should be kept in a location out of the reach and sight of children. We remind you that the drug can only be used by men 18 years and older. The second rule is to ensure to keep the treatment at a temperature not exceeding 30°C and out of humidity. Finally, be sure to check the expiration date on the package. If this is exceeded, we ask you not to take the drug.
What is the price of Cialis Online & in UK?
The drug price differs depending on the place where you want to buy it.
Cialis Price: Buy in a UK pharmacy
In a pharmacy, rates change between £35 and £50 for a dosage of 4 10mg or 20mg pills. Pharmacies are free to offer their own desired rate. It is necessary to add the cost of the doctor’s consultation to this price. You should know that the drug against impotence is not reimbursed by social security.Cialis Price: Buy Online
If you want to buy Cialis online, prices are generally higher, and they range from £39 to £59. However, the advantage is that you are able to order your treatment discreetly. Some online clinics offer discreet delivery in 24 hours.
Caution: We recommend you beware if you want to buy Cialis online. Many sites try to attract customers by promoting “cheap Cialis” “cheapest Cialis” or “at the best price”.
You should know that websites offering abnormally low prices usually sell counterfeit pills. These fakes are, at best, useless, i.e. they will produce no effect. In the worst cases, they are dangerous to your health.
What you need to know before you buy Cialis Tadalafil Online
Cialis is not a miracle drug
Cialis is one of the most effective treatments for erectile dysfunction, however, you should know that it will not cure you in the long run. The treatment’s duration of action is 36 hours, and after this, impotence reappears. If you really want to cure the disease you need to consider changing your lifestyle. Researchers have highlighted the influence of unhealthy food, consumption of alcohol and smoking, on erectile dysfunction. If you eat more healthily, you stop consuming alcohol too regularly and you quit smoking, you will find a greater erectile capacity. To further increase your chances, remember to exercise regularly.
Cialis is not the most famous treatment for impotence
Even if Cialis is relatively famous today in Uk and Europe, its biggest competitor remains the undisputed Viagra Sildenafil. Cialis’ advantage is that its duration of action is the longest by far.
Beware of websites allowing you to buy Cialis online
Treatments for impotence belong to the most counterfeited class of goods on the Internet, including Tadalafil. If you are a French resident, you should also know that buying the treatment on the Internet is prohibited. If the site wants to sell the drug, it is acting illegally, and the risk of it being fake is very high.
Is there a risk of addiction when taking Cialis?
Studies have shown that no addictions have been proven, so do not worry. If your doctor examined your health condition and decided to prescribe the medication, you can take the drug with no hassle. The only dependency you might experience is the fear of not being able to have a strong erection without medication.
Is Cialis really more effective than other pills without a prescription?
Tadalafil is a prescription treatment that had to undergo numerous clinical trials to prove its effectiveness and to analyse its side effects. The treatment was approved because experts were able to prove a positive ratio between efficacy / side effects. Non-prescription pills that are obtainable in any old store are not as effective. Most of the time, their effectiveness is not proven, and no study was carried out on the pills. Their role is more to act on the patient’s psychological side.
Is there a generic name for Cialis Online?
Many patients ask themselves this very question, and Viagra is available under the generic name Sildenafil. The main benefit of the generic drug is its price; efficiency is 100% the same as the original. Regarding Cialis, there is at the present time no generic drug. While some sites offer to sell you it, know that this is impossible, and it is undoubtedly a counterfeit.
What is most effective between Cialis and Viagra?
There is no answer, as it depends on two things: your state of health and how often you want to use the treatment.
Can Cialis treat other diseases?
Indeed, Cialis is not only a treatment fighting against erectile dysfunction; it is also required in some cases to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia which can also be called, benign enlargement of the prostate is often encountered by men over 50 years of age. This pathology as the name suggests is benign and is not serious for one’s health. However, it can cause discomfort for the man. Indeed, if the prostate enlarges, it will exert more pressure on the bladder and urethra. BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy) can cause trouble urinating and a frequent need to urinate accompanied by a feeling of not completely emptying your bladder.
Doctors sometimes recommend Cialis, in its 5mg (low dose) version to improve blood flow to the prostate and bladder so that the muscles relax and symptoms of BPH decrease.

Cialis is my favourite. My doctor initially prescribed me Viagra as it was by far the more famous and highly recommended option, but I was a bit worried about how long it took and the fact you had to plan sex in advance. When my doctor gave me a prescription for Cialis I was convinced by the fact that although you still have to take it 30 minutes in advance, it lasts for 36 hours. You can take it well before having sex as it lasts for a really long time, so you don’t need to worry about ‘wasting’ a pill.

When you talk about erectile dysfunction people only ever think of viagra as a solution. I reckon if you try Cialis after trying Viagra you’ll end up thinking that Cialis has a lot of advantages. I have tried both and now I only ever ask my doctor to prescribe me Cialis. Its biggest advantage is how long it lasts as it works for 36 hours after you take a pill. That means that you don’t have to worry about when you might have sex with your partner at any point for 36 hours.

I also think that Cialis is the most effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. I have been taking it for a few years – I used to take Viagra which worked really well but it didn’t last as long. I’ve not had the same problem with Cialis.

Cialis is great. It’s effective but it does cost quite a bit when you buy it regularly. The generic version was supposed to come on the market but it still hasn’t arrived. I have tried Viagra as a comparison and I still think Cialis is better due to it lasting longer. That’s what drew me to it in the first place and everything has been fine with regards to side effects.

Cialis works almost every time you take it and I always have a few pills with me in my wallet. Side effects are very mild and all I’ve experienced is a slight headache at the beginning but now I can take it with no problems. I have a very high opinion of this treatment.
Ethan · May 17, 2017 at 8:43 pm
I take 20mg cialis and normally I take at least one pill a week so one box of 4 lasts me a month. It therefore doesn’t cost me much at the end of the day but you can even cut the 20mg pill in half if you want. Then you have a 10mg pill that is just as effective and a lot cheaper in the end.
Sonny · June 28, 2017 at 8:34 pm
That’s not a bad idea! I take 10mg cialis but I’ve never though of cutting the pill in two. I’m going to go to the pharmacy to double check it works – I’ll keep you informed.
