Generic tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, is typically taken as needed, 30 minutes to one hour before sexual activity. The recommended starting dose is 10 mg.
Dosage may be increased to 20 mg based on individual response and physician recommendation. However, do not exceed 20 mg in a 24-hour period. This is a maximum safe dose.
Tadalafil should be taken only as directed by your doctor. Do not adjust your dosage without consulting a healthcare professional.
The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, though some people find that taking it on an empty stomach enhances absorption.
Alcohol consumption may affect the effectiveness of tadalafil and should be moderated. Grapefruit juice can interact with tadalafil, so it’s best to avoid it.
If you experience side effects, such as headache, flushing, or indigestion, contact your physician. Serious side effects are rare, but require immediate medical attention.
