Both 10mg and 20mg doses should be taken 30-60 minutes before sex. Take whole, with water. These doses can stay active for up to 36 hours. Never use Tadalafil 10mg or 20mg twice in any one 24 hour period (it’s better to wait out the whole 36 hour period before taking a second pill).

Take according to the instructions given by your doctor. Never take more than they recommend.

If you develop any serious side effects, go to your nearest hospital as soon as possible. This includes: an erection that stays hard for four hours or more; loss of vision or hearing; an allergic reaction; or heart or chest pain.

Doctors might start a patient with 2.5mg of Tadalafil Daily, and may then increase the dose to 5mg if necessary.

After a few days of taking Tadalafil Daily, you don’t have to wait for the drug to become active. You should be able to get an erection on demand. If you feel like the dose isn’t strong enough, talk to your doctor.

Take once a day, at the same time each day. Again, if you get any serious side effects, seek urgent medical attention.

Your doctor will help you settle on the right Tadalafil dosage, taking your medical history into consideration. Whether you’ve taken Tadalafil or other ED drugs in the past will also help inform their decision.

Whichever dose is most effective is what you can expect to be prescribed in the longer term.

Finding a maintenance dose is a common practice in medicine. If you were prescribed 2.5mg of Tadalafil Daily, and only saw a partial difference in your ability to get an erection, your dose may be increased to 5mg. If this produces positive results, you’ll remain on the 5mg dose.

You shouldn't try to adjust the dose yourself. Ask your prescriber if you feel as though your current dose is too weak or too strong.

Eating a big meal after taking Tadalafil can slow down how long it takes to get to work, so this isn’t advised. Do not drink grapefruit juice while taking this treatment.

Alcohol can make the symptoms of ED worse, though it is not likely to interact with this treatment.

Tadalafil is thought to work well for erectile dysfunction. In clinical trials for the drug, 81% of men using it saw improved erections.^[2] Broken down into different categories of severity:

• 86% of men with mild ED saw an improvement in erections; 
• 83% of men with moderate erectile dysfunction found it improved erections; 
• and 72% of men with severe ED reported improvements.

If you take Tadalafil and it doesn’t have the desired effect, speak to your doctor.

Some men may experience side effects from taking Tadalafil. Always read the instructions fully before taking ED medication. 

More common Tadalafil side effects include headaches, feeling sick, redness or flushing, indigestion, stuffy nose or aches in the muscles.

Some side effects will be so mild that they are easily managed with some minor changes, like drinking more water to help with headaches. 

If you do experience side effects that interfere with your everyday life, and are difficult to manage, speak with a doctor so that treatment adjustments or alternative treatments can be considered.

If you experience any side effects which are painful or uncomfortable, see a doctor.

Seek urgent medical attention if you notice any side effects that could indicate an allergic reaction. These include flushing, redness, swelling on the face, mouth, throat, tongue or mouth, coughing, breathing problems, watery eyes or hives.

Other side effects that require urgent attention include: chest pain; an erection that won’t go down on it’s own for four hours or more; or vision or hearing problems.

They’re manufactured by different companies, so the boxes the drugs come in will be different, and the tablets themselves will have a different appearance too. Because they’re not made by one company in particular, generics are also cheaper than branded medicines. But there should be little if any difference in how well they work in the body. 

Let your doctor know so they can discuss other options with you. This might mean increasing your dose, or switching to another drug.

Switching treatment on an EveAdam subscription is simple, and you can do this any time.

Don’t take more Tadalafil than the amount prescribed by your doctor. Make sure you have waited for an adequate amount of time to let Tadalafil get to work. For the weekend pill, it needs around 30-60 minutes. You might need to take the daily dose a couple of times before there’s enough of the drug in your body to have an effect.

They’re two different drugs, so which one is better is mostly down to personal preference. 

The benefit of Tadalafil is that there is both a daily and longer lasting on-demand version. There’s only one version of Sildenafil which is taken on-demand and takes around 30-60 minutes to work. So how long does Tadalafil last? This may depend on a number of factors, but it should remain effective for up to five hours.

But some men may find that Sildenafil works better for them than Tadalafil. It’s really a case of finding a drug that works best for you.
