It lasts longer than other erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments for up to 36 hours. This means you can take it and have sex whenever you want for almost two days, specially on the weekends.
Why Tadalafil?
Tadalafil or generic Cialis, is the same ed treatment as branded Cialis. They work similarly and have the same side effects. The only difference is the price: Tadalafil £7.49, whereas Cialis £35.40
The weekend pill
Tadalafil is also known as the weekend pill because it can remain effective for up to 36 hours. If you take a tablet on friday night, it can still work on Sunday morning. This extended duration has made Tadalafil a popular choice for many.
How does Tadalafil work?
For ED Problems, Tadalafil's active ingredient (Tadalafil) temporarily boosts blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve a firmer and longer-lasting erection when you get sexually excited.
Remember, Tadalafil does not increase your sexual desire. If you're dealing with low libido, it's best to consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Is Tadalafil safe?
Yes, Tadalafil is safe & well-tolerated ED medication. However, some men may experience side effects like,
- Headaches,
- Flushing
- An upset stomach
If you get these, talk to your doctor.

- Most men take a 10- or 20mg tablet when required.
- The 2.5mg and 5mg doses are for daily use.
- Some men might find that an occasional 5mg tablet is sufficient.

- Remember, it only works when you're sexually excited.
- Start with one 10mg tablet, 30 before sexual activity.

Alternative ED treatments:
Not all men require an effective medication for up to 36 hours. There are other oral PDE5 treatments like:
Sildenafil (lasts 2-6 hours)
Viagra Connect (lasts up to 5 hours)
Tadalafil daily (2.5mg, 5mg) vs Cialis '36 hours'
Most men take Cialis as needed, typically 10mg or 20mg, which stays effective for up to 36 hours. However, men who need ED treatment two or more times a week should consider taking a daily low-dose tablet, either 2.5mg or 5mg, which provides continuous treatment without ups and downs.

FAQ
Do I have erectile dysfunction because I am old?
Erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, particularly aged 40 or above. This is because older men usually have pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity, which all contribute to erectile dysfunction. The older you get, the lower your testosterone levels become as well, which also contributes to erectile dysfunction.
Can being tired cause erectile dysfunction?
Yes. When you are tired you have a decreased sex drive (libido), so it is harder to gain and maintain an erection. This also happens when you are lacking in fitness.
Can masturbating cause erectile dysfunction?
If you are masturbating several times in a short period of time, then yes you may experience difficulties in getting and maintaining an erection.
Can cycling cause erectile dysfunction?
Excessive cycling can indeed cause erectile dysfunction, especially if your seat is applying pressure to your testicles. This applies pressure to the nerves in the bottom of your penis, which contributes to erectile dysfunction. The same thing can occur if you wear excessively tight clothing for long periods of time consistently.
How can I treat erectile dysfunction?
This is dependent on the cause of ED, so it is very important to consult your GP to identify the cause. Once the cause is known, it is easier to suggest a treatment plan. Treatment options include medicine and lifestyle changes.
Is erectile dysfunction reversible?
This depends on the cause of erectile dysfunction. If it is due to underlying medical problems, it is often quite difficult to completely reverse the erectile dysfunction, however there are many treatment options available to help live with the condition.
Some causes are reversible such as excessive drinking and smoking, excessive cycling and excessive masturbation.
Can taking vitamins help my erectile dysfunction?
Vitamins should not be used as the main treatment for erectile dysfunction as there is not much evidence for it. However, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B complex are believed to assist in men suffering with ED. Vitamin C and vitamin B complex are thought to help with blood flow and vitamin E is thought to help with producing testosterone, which may lead to improvement of ED.
Which drug is best for erectile dysfunction?
All erectile dysfunction drugs work in the same way, but they have slightly different properties. Different drugs work differently for everyone, so individuals will have different preferences. First line treatment in most cases is sildenafil, which is also the active ingredient in Viagra. Another popular drug is Tadalafil for erectile dysfunction, which is the active ingredient in Cialis.
Can I take Viagra if I have diabetes or cardiovascular disease?

Will just taking my ED tablet give me an erection?

What are the benefits of treating erectile dysfunction?
Treating ED will not only improve your life in the bedroom, but it may improve your life overall. It may improve your self-esteem, boost your confidence, increase your blood flow and circulation and it may even inspire you to live a healthier lifestyle.
Can I prevent myself from getting erectile dysfunction?

Can I take ED tablets after having a stroke?
Yes you can but you should wait at least 3 months after your stroke before starting treatment again.
Are there any herbal remedies that treat erectile dysfunction?
There have been suggestions of some herbal remedies that may help with ED, however there is no solid clinical evidence that these work.
Does having ED mean that there is something wrong with my health?
In many cases of ED, the underlying cause is nothing to worry about. However, it is extremely important to identify the cause of your ED by speaking to your doctor in order to rule out serious health issues.
What dose of ED medication should I take?
It is advised that you start off at the lowest dose available and see how well that works. Take a stronger dose the next time if the starting dose was insufficient.
Can I split my tablet to save money?
This is not recommended by the manufacturer but it is commonly done. Bear in mind that splitting a pill will also half your dose.
Do ED tablets always work?
ED Pills do work in most men. However if the penile nerves are damaged or blood circulation is restricted, the tablets may not always work. Men with low testosterone levels may also be resistant to tablet treatment. If one tablet does not work it is worth trying a different drug. If your symptoms persist you should consult your GP.
