Cialis comes in several dosages: 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg tablets. Your doctor determines the appropriate starting dose based on your individual needs and health conditions. The usual starting dose is 10mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.
Daily Dosage
For daily use, lower dosages (2.5mg or 5mg) are typically prescribed. This allows for more spontaneous sexual activity, as the medication maintains a consistent level in your system. Remember, this is only prescribed when deemed medically appropriate.
Taking Cialis
Take Cialis orally with or without food. Alcohol consumption may affect the medication’s efficacy. Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period, regardless of whether you’re taking the as-needed dose or the daily dose. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of daily Cialis, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to catch up. For the as-needed dosage, simply take the prescribed dose when needed, according to your doctor’s instructions.
Storage
Store Cialis tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep them out of reach of children.
