Buy Tadalafil Online
Tadalafil, sold under the brand name Cialis, is a drug used to help increase the flow of blood to the penis in men who have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, following sexual arousal.
Available in 2.5mg or 5mg as a daily tablet or 10mg or 20mg when required. Speak to our team for discreet, confidential advice.
When to Use Tadalafil Tablets?
The 2.5mg and 5mg Tadalafil tablets are a lower dose alternative to the 10mg and 20mg tablets. Because of their lower strength, they're designed to be a once-daily medication, which helps ensure consistent levels in your body.
A healthcare professional may prescribe them when:
- You're Sexually Active: You plan on being intimate two or more times each week. Because the medication ensures consistent levels, you don't need to plan, as you should feel the effects once you're aroused.
- Side Effects: If you've experienced side effects from higher-strength medications, the lower dose might be best. It reduces the risks of headaches and indigestion.
Age Restrictions For Tadalafil
Tadalafil is only suitable for males aged 18 and over. It's not prescribed for women or younger men. While older men can take it, those aged 65 and over can be more prone to side effects.
How to Use Tadalafil For Erectile Dysfunction Treatment?
Tadalafil can be taken in two ways. The 10mg and 20mg tablets are taken at least 30 minutes before sex, when needed, and are not meant to be taken every day. When using the 2.5mg or 5mg tablets, consistency is key, as they're designed to be taken each day.
Here are the main instructions to follow:
- Take Once A Day: Never take more than one tablet a day. If you're prescribed 2.5mg or 5mg, take a daily tablet at a consistent time. It doesn't matter if it is morning, afternoon, or evening; choosing a time can help you remember when to use it.
- Taking the Tablet: You can take the tablets with or without food. Please swallow them whole with a glass of water. Avoid grapefruit juice and excessive alcohol use while you're using the medication.
- Be Patient: On a daily dose, it can take a few days of consistent usage for Tadalafil to build up in your system. Never double up if it doesn't work instantly. If you don't experience long-term improvements, please ask your GP for advice.
- Stimulation: Tadalafil only works when you're sexually stimulated and aroused.
When to Avoid Using Tadalafil Erectile Dysfunction Medication?
Tadalafil isn't suitable for everyone. If any of the following apply, you should avoid it:
- Nitrates: Don't use Tadalafil if you take any form of nitrate medicine, or use amyl nitrite ("poppers") or another nitric oxide donor, as together they can make your blood pressure fall dangerously. If a nitrate is ever needed in an emergency, at least 48 hours must pass after your last dose of Tadalafil, and it should only be given under close medical supervision.
- Riociguat: Don't use Tadalafil if you're taking riociguat, a medicine for high blood pressure in the lungs.
- Allergies: Don't use Tadalafil if you're allergic to tadalafil or any of the other ingredients.
- Cardiovascular Conditions: You shouldn't use Tadalafil if you have serious heart disease or a heart condition that makes sex inadvisable, or if you have had a heart attack in the last 90 days, a stroke in the last 6 months, heart failure (NYHA class 2 or above) in the last 6 months, unstable angina or angina during sex, an uncontrolled irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure (below 90/50 mmHg) or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
- Vision Problems: Don't use Tadalafil if you have ever lost sight because of NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy).
- Other ED Medicines: Never mix Tadalafil with other erectile dysfunction treatments, as it can cause side effects.
Precautions For Tadalafil
While the following won't instantly rule you out of taking Tadalafil, you should seek medical advice first:
- Medications: If you're taking any other medications, such as alpha-blockers, your doctor will need to assess whether you can use Tadalafil.
- Kidney and Liver Problems: Both can affect how your body processes and metabolises Tadalafil, even at low concentrations.
- Deformities: Individuals with penis deformities should also seek medical advice.
- Blood Disorders: If you have sickle cell anaemia, multiple myeloma (cancer of the bone marrow) or leukaemia, you should seek medical advice first.
- Previous Surgery: If you have had pelvic surgery, or surgery to remove all or part of your prostate where the nerves were cut, tell our prescriber. It is not known if Tadalafil works after these.

How long do Tadalafil tablets take to work to treat erectile dysfunction? How long will it last?
If you take 10mg or 20mg before sex, take it at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. If you take 2.5mg or 5mg every day, take it at about the same time each day, whether or not you plan to have sex that day.
Tadalafil will be effective up to 36 hours after taking the tablet; however, this does not mean that you will have an erection for the duration of this time. Sexual stimulation is also needed to achieve an erection whilst taking Tadalafil.
You can take Tadalafil with or without food, as food makes no difference to how it works. Drinking a lot of alcohol can make it harder to get an erection and can make you dizzy when you stand up, so avoid drinking a lot while you take Tadalafil.
How regularly can I take Tadalafil tablets for erectile dysfunction?
Never take more than one tablet a day, whatever the strength. The 2.5mg and 5mg tablets are taken once a day, every day, at about the same time. The 10mg and 20mg tablets are taken before sex when needed and are not meant to be taken every day. Do not take Tadalafil with any other treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Can I take Tadalafil tablets for erectile dysfunction if I have heart problems?
Tadalafil should always be used with caution in men with heart problems. Sexual activity puts extra strain on the heart, so your heart health needs to be checked before you start. Some heart problems rule Tadalafil out, such as a heart attack in the last 90 days or a stroke in the last 6 months.
Whether Tadalafil is suitable will depend on a number of individual circumstances, including your symptoms and their severity.
You should speak to a GP or a member of our team before proceeding.
Can I take Tadalafil even if I don’t have erectile dysfunction?
Tadalafil should only be taken if you are experiencing erectile dysfunction. It should not be taken for the purpose of sexual enhancement.
