Your doctor will determine the correct Cialis dosage based on your individual health and medical history. Common starting dosages range from 5mg to 20mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.
Don’t exceed the recommended dose. Taking more Cialis won’t necessarily enhance results and may increase the risk of side effects.
Frequency of Use
Cialis is available in daily and as-needed formulations. The daily dosage helps maintain readiness for sexual activity. The as-needed dosage is taken only when needed.
Important Considerations
Several factors influence Cialis’s effectiveness and potential side effects. These include age, overall health, and other medications you’re taking. Openly discuss all your medications with your doctor, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
| Grapefruit Juice | Can increase Cialis levels in your blood, potentially intensifying side effects. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Cialis. |
| Liver or Kidney Disease | May require a dosage adjustment. Your doctor will assess your kidney and liver function before prescribing Cialis. |
| Heart Conditions | Cialis can affect blood pressure. Individuals with heart problems should discuss Cialis use with their cardiologist. |
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of daily Cialis, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses.
Storage
Store Cialis tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
