The typical starting dose for Cialis to treat erectile dysfunction is 10mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. This dose works well for many men.
Your doctor might adjust your dose based on your response and individual needs. A lower dose of 5mg may be sufficient, or a higher dose of 20mg might be prescribed if 10mg proves ineffective. However, 20mg is the maximum recommended daily dose.
It’s important to note that Cialis can be taken daily at a low dose (2.5mg or 5mg) for continuous erectile dysfunction treatment. This allows for spontaneity, eliminating the need to time the medication before sexual activity. Discuss this option with your physician.
Here’s a summary of common dosage information:
5 | Daily | Continuous ED treatment |
10 | As needed | Erectile dysfunction treatment |
20 | As needed | Erectile dysfunction treatment (if 10mg ineffective, under doctor’s supervision) |
Remember, always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. They’ll tailor the Cialis dosage to your specific health profile and circumstances. Never exceed the prescribed dose.
