About Cialis Together

Cialis Together is an over the counter medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). This means it is available without a prescription from a doctor and can be bought from a pharmacy. Unlike regular Cialis, it is only available in 1 dose and contains 10mg of the active ingredient tadalafil. Cialis Together has recently been re-classified as a pharmacy medication. This means it is available to buy without a prescription. It can remain effective for up to 36 hours, making it the longest lasting ED medication available.  

What do Cialis Together tablets look like?

Cialis Together tablets are yellow and oval shaped. They are imprinted with ‘C10’, which indicates a dosage of 10mg. 

Are Cialis, Cialis Daily, and Cialis Together the same?

Cialis is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. It contains the active ingredient tadalafil and is available in several different doses. It is only available with a prescription from your doctor and you can not buy it from a pharmacy (over the counter) without one.

Cialis Daily is a form of Cialis which is taken every day at a low dose. Some people prefer to do this instead of taking Cialis before sex as it allows them to be more spontaneous. You will still need a prescription from a doctor in order to get Cialis Daily.

Cialis Together is a version of Cialis which contains 10mg of the active ingredient tadalafil. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have re-classified this particular dosage as a pharmacy medication (available to buy over the counter). This means you do not need a prescription to buy Cialis Together. It works in exactly the same way as regular Cialis and is effective in the same number of men.

Cialis Together vs generic tadalafil

Cialis is also available as the unbranded medication tadalafil. Tadalafil contains the same active ingredient as Cialis and works in exactly the same way. The only difference is that it is unbranded and often cheaper as a result. Generic tadalafil is still a prescription medication, and is not available over the counter.

How does Cialis Together work

Cialis Together is part of a group of medications called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors. These medications work by relaxing the muscles around the penis, allowing more blood to flow, making it easier to get and maintain an erection when you are aroused.

PDE-5 inhibitors will not give you unexpected erections when you are not aroused.

How long does Cialis Together take to work?

When taken correctly, you should start to notice the effects of Cialis Together within 30-60 minutes.

How long does Cialis Together last?

The effects of Cialis Together can last up to 36 hours. This is the same as other treatments containing the active ingredient tadalafil, which are sometimes referred to as ‘The Weekend Pill’.

How often can I take Cialis Together?

You should only take up to 1 Cialis Together tablet a day. This is the only dose which the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have approved for Cialis Together. If you think a single Cialis Together pill might not be strong enough for you, you will need to speak to a doctor and get a prescription for a higher dosage of Cialis.

What if Cialis Together doesn’t work?

If Cialis Together doesn’t work the first time you try it then your body may need to get used to the medication. You should try using Cialis Together on at least 8 separate occasions before seeing a doctor to discuss alternative treatment options.

How effective is Cialis Together?

Cialis Together is effective in 60-70% of men when taken correctly. Some things you can do to maximise the effects of Cialis Together include:

• quitting smoking
• limiting alcohol consumption
• managing stress
• exercising regularly
• eating a healthy, balanced diet
• avoiding fatty or processed food prior to taking the medication
• maintaining a healthy BMI

How to take Cialis Together

You should only ever take 1 Cialis Together tablet a day. You should swallow it whole with a glass of water at least 30-60 minutes before you want to have sex. This is because it can take up to 60 minutes for the medication to take full effect. You should also avoid drinking alcohol or eating fatty foods before taking Cialis Together as they can make the medication less effective.

What if I throw up after taking Cialis Together?

If you throw up after taking Cialis Together you should speak to your doctor before taking another tablet. While it’s true that the medication may not be fully effective in this circumstance, another dose may increase the likelihood of side effects and their severity.

Cialis Together doses

Cialis Together is only available in a single dose of 10mg. This is the only dosage that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have approved as a pharmacy (over the counter) medication. If you require another dosage of Cialis then you will need to speak to your doctor and get a prescription.

Where can I buy Cialis Together?

Cialis Together is available as a 10mg dose online at PharmacyOnline.co.uk in both a 4 pack and 8 pack.

Can I buy Cialis Together online?

Cialis Together is an over the counter medication, meaning it can be bought online from reputable pharmacies such as Superdrug Online Doctor without a prescription. You will have to answer a short medical questionnaire to check that Cialis Together is safe and suitable for you.

Can I get Cialis Together on the NHS?

You do not need a prescription to get Cialis Together, so it is not available on the NHS. Prescription medications for erectile dysfunction (such as regular Cialis or Viagra) are available on the NHS with a prescription from a doctor. 

Can I buy Cialis Together over the counter?

Yes, Cialis Together has been approved as a pharmacy medication by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). This means it is available to buy over the counter from pharmacies or online pharmacies such as Superdrug Online Doctor. 

Is it safe to buy Cialis Together online?

Yes, it is safe to buy Cialis Together online from reputable pharmacies such as Superdrug Online Doctor. However, some online retailers will claim to sell Cialis Together but actually offer a fake version of the medication. This is potentially very harmful to your health, as there will be no way of knowing what you have taken. You should always make sure the pharmacy you are buying from is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). These organisations make sure that the medication you receive is genuine and safe.
