Both Tadalafil generic and Cialis (brand-name Tadalafil) treat erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with the same active ingredient. However, dosage and administration can differ slightly.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
For erectile dysfunction, the recommended starting dose for both is typically 10 mg, taken as needed, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. The dose can be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg based on individual response and physician recommendation. Maximum daily dosage is 20 mg.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Treatment
For BPH, the usual dose is 5 mg once daily, taken at the same time each day. This dosage is consistent for both generic and brand-name Tadalafil. Adjustments are made based on individual needs under medical supervision.

Important Considerations
Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Never exceed the recommended dosage. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing health conditions or medications you are taking before starting Tadalafil. Tadalafil can interact with certain medications, so transparency with your physician is crucial. If you experience side effects, consult your doctor immediately.
