Tadalafil - Daily (Generic Cialis)
Tadalafil - Daily (Generic Cialis)
Tadalafil is the active ingredient in the popular medication, Cialis, which treats erectile dysfunction in men. Generic Tadalafil is considered to be as safe and effective as the brand-name, Cialis, with the only real difference being the cost.
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, which works for ED by relaxing the smooth muscle in the blood vessels of the penis, therefore increasing blood flow. PDE5 inhibitors only work when nitric oxide is present; it is naturally released during sexual arousal.
Tadalafil Daily has become widely popular, as it offers dosing flexibility and requires less planning on the man’s part, which can often encourage couples to be more spontaneous in the bedroom. The typical beginner’s dose once-daily Tadalafil is 2.5mg. Once you have become acclimated with how the drug works, it is recommended that you talk to your doctor about increasing the dose (if necessary).
Unlike the as-needed version, Tadalafil daily is taken, well, daily. It’s recommended that you take it at the same time each day, as it will be more effective and will maintain a steady level of the drug in your body.
Generic Tadafil Vs. Cialis
Generic versions approved by the FDA are just as effective as their brand-name counterparts. The FDA does the same meticulous inspection for generic medications as they do for brand-name drugs to ensure the safety, effectiveness, and quality remain the same. In fact, companies typically release generic versions of name-brand medications so that they stay competitive once their patent has expired and a million other companies don’t steal their business.
The only real difference you’re going to notice when it comes to these two drugs is the cost and how they look. Both Cialis and tadalafil are yellow, but Cialis is oval-shaped and expensive (around $20 per pill), and generic tadalafil is either oval or circle-shaped and much more affordable (generally $10 or less per tablet).
Of course, pricing depends on the strength of the dose per pill, what is covered by your insurance, and the pharmacy you’re getting it from.
