Cialis Daily is the brand name for generic tadalafil and is manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company.
About Cialis Daily
-
-
Cialis Daily is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. ED occurs when you find it difficult to get and keep an erection during sex. Each tablet contains the active ingredient tadalafil, which is a phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitor.
Cialis Daily is designed for daily use even if you are not having sex every day. By taking a daily dose of Cialis, you’ll have a steady amount of the medication inside your body. You do not need to interrupt intimacy to take a tablet as Cialis Daily is not taken directly before sex.
You’ll only have an erection if you are sexually aroused. The standard dose is to take one 5mg Cialis Daily tablet once a day. Your doctor may prescribe 2.5mg tablets depending on how you get on with Cialis Daily 5mg tablets.
Most PDE5 inhibitors, such as Viagra or Spedra, are taken just before you want to have sex. But if you think you’ll have sex more than a couple of times a week, a daily ED medication like Cialis Daily might be more suitable for you.

Cialis Daily contains the PDE5 inhibitor tadalafil, which works by increasing blood flow to your penis by relaxing the surrounding blood vessels. It does this by blocking an enzyme responsible for blood flow called PDE5.
As Cialis Daily is in your blood every day, you can get and keep an erection whenever you want, without having to time when you take your tablet.

In one study with a total of 1,112 male participants, the active ingredient tadalafil was found to be effective in 75% of intercourse attempts.
81% of men in the same study reported improved erections after taking tadalafil too. It was also shown to be a well-tolerated medicine in people with various health conditions alongside ED and in patients of all ages.
Another study found that taking Cialis Daily is just as effective as taking a Cialis 10mg or 20mg tablet when you want to have sex. This means that if you take Cialis Daily, it’ll give you the same effect in getting an erection as if you took Cialis tablets just before sex. You need to take Cialis Daily tablets around the same time each day for it to be effective and so you can get an erection on demand.

“As both types of Cialis tablets are effective, you can decide on what type of ED medication you need based on your lifestyle. If you prefer not to take a tablet half an hour before sex and you usually have sex more than twice a week, Cialis Daily is a better option over Cialis 10mg or 20mg tablets.” – Dr Brenda Nomann, Medical Editor

To take Cialis Daily:
- swallow one 5mg tablet each day with water
- take each tablet at the same time every day
- do not take more than one tablet a day
- take it with or without food
Unlike Cialis tablets that you take on demand, you do not need to avoid eating fatty or greasy foods. These foods do not affect how fast tadalafil works in the form of Cialis Daily because you are taking it every day, rather than just before sex.
If you forget to take a tablet of Cialis Daily, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. You should only take 1 tablet of Cialis Daily in a day.
If you take too many Cialis Daily tablets, speak to your doctor as soon as possible for advice.

Certain medications can interfere with the way Cialis Daily works. This can make the effects of Cialis Daily feel stronger or weaker than normal.
Speak to your doctor before taking Cialis Daily if you are currently taking:
- other medicines for ED, such as Spedra or Viagra
- medicines for high blood pressure, including alpha-blockers, such as doxazosin
- riociguat
- treatment for HIV, including protease inhibitors such as ritonavir
- antifungal medication, such as ketoconazole or itraconazole
- epilepsy treatment, including phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine
- antibiotics, such as rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin

Also let your doctor know if you are taking any other prescription medication or over-the-counter products.
Do not take Cialis Daily if you are already taking nitrates.
Cialis Daily food and drink interactions
It’s best to avoid drinking a lot of alcohol when taking Cialis Daily as this can make it less effective. Too much alcohol can also make it difficult for you to get an erection, and you are more likely to lose your erection early. Keep this in mind when managing ED.
You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruits whilst taking Cialis Daily. Grapefruit juice contains chemicals that affect the breakdown of Cialis Daily in your body and may lead to serious side effects.

Alternative prescription treatment options for erectile dysfunction consist of other PDE5 inhibitors. Although they work in the same way, there are a few differences between them, such as when they need to be taken or how long they last.
Viagra (sildenafil)
The effects of Viagra, the brand name for sildenafil, last for around 4 hours in your body. If you are expecting to have sex less frequently throughout the week, Viagra might be more suitable for you as it only needs to be taken before sex. You can also get Viagra Connect (a type of Viagra treatment containing 50mg of sildenafil) without a prescription from most pharmacies or from ZAVA.
Cialis tablets
Cialis tablets are taken when needed and are effective for up to 36 hours (a day and a half). This is useful if you need the effects of Cialis to last longer, over a short period, for example over the weekend.
More alternatives
Other PDE5 inhibitors include Levitra (vardenafil) and Spedra (avanafil). Levitra lasts between 5 and 8 hours while Spedra lasts around 4 hours, but is one of the quickest ED treatments to work on demand (within 15 to 30 minutes).
If you’re not sure which medication to try, you can get an ED treatment trial pack to test which ED medication is right for you. You can then request your most preferred ED medication from ZAVA on a repeat basis.
Erectile dysfunction can cause other sexual health problems, such as premature ejaculation. This is where you ejaculate too early when having sex. If this is a problem for you, getting ED treatment can help.
If you still have premature ejaculation after using ED medication, speak to your doctor. They may recommend medication to treat premature ejaculation.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cialis Daily better than Viagra?
Cialis Daily and Viagra are both popular treatments for erectile dysfunction that are effective for most men. While they work in similar ways, they have differences in how often you take them, how quickly they start to work, and how long they last. These differences may make one option more suitable for you, depending on your preferences.
If you are having sex frequently or spontaneously, Cialis Daily can be a better option as you don’t need to plan to take your pill before you want to have sex. You just take one every day, and the effects are always working, whereas with Viagra you need to take it about an hour before you plan to have sex. Cialis Daily also works out cheaper than Viagra if you are having sex more than 2 to 3 times per week.
On the other hand, Viagra may be more suitable if you aren’t having sex frequently. If you don’t have sex most days, then only having to take Viagra when you need it can be a more convenient and affordable option.
Can’t take Viagra or not sure if it’s the right ED treatment for you? Our guide on the best alternatives to Viagra goes into more detail on the different medications available, which work the fastest, and which last the longest.
What’s the difference between Cialis Daily and tadalafil?
Cialis Daily is a branded version of tadalafil that can only be manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company but is otherwise the same except for the brand name on the box. Generic tadalafil can be manufactured by any pharmaceutical company, which means it is a more affordable option.
These medications work in the exact same way and are equally effective but tadalafil is taken on demand and Cialis Daily is taken every day. The doses are also different – Cialis Daily has 2 doses, 2.5mg and 5mg, while tadalafil comes in 10mg or 20mg doses.
Can women take Cialis Daily?
No, women should not take Cialis Daily or any other medication for erectile dysfunction. These medications do not work for women and can cause unwanted side effects.
Is it safe to take Cialis every day?
Yes, the lower doses of Cialis Daily are designed to be taken every day so you can get an erection when you need one. They have been proven to be safe and effective to take every day over a long period of time.
What’s the best Cialis dosage?
There isn’t a best dosage of Cialis, as it will depend on your preferences and what your body responds well to. If you are having sex more frequently, then a daily dosage of Cialis (2.5mg and 5mg) may be a better option for you. If you are having sex fewer than 2 times per week, then taking Cialis 10mg or 20mg may be a better option as you only need to take them when you need to.
For some men, lower dosages of Cialis may not be effective. This can be for a variety of reasons, such as tolerance to the ingredients or just how your body responds to the medication. In this case, higher dosages may be the best option.
