Cialis is a very potent medicine used all over the world to help men achieve a strong and long-lasting erection so they can enjoy a satisfactory intercourse and overcome their physiological difficulties related to different types of erectile dysfunction. Used for varying degrees of impotence, Cialis has been launched by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and has been available in European markets ever since its approval by the EMA.

With the rise of online clinics, increasing number of men opts for buying Cialis online, just like other impotence pills. If you’ve been considering that option, this page will provide you with all the relevant info you need – not only about the purchasing process via the internet but also about some general properties of the medicine.

Can I buy Cialis online

If you live in the EU, buying medicine online has never been easier – or safer. But there are still a couple of things to keep in mind. Firstly, not everybody can sell medicines online – every online clinic needs to have a certified medical professional that will have the final word in the sale. So your first task is to identify legally operating online clinics – those which employ a doctor with whom you can (and should) consult prior to buying any other medicine.

Internet clinics that offer medical consultations are those which operate within the legal norms and which collaborate with licenced pharmacies, thus ensuring that you’ll get the right medicine for you and that it will be exactly what you paid for. So, in order to buy Cialis online, you need to choose your preferred internet clinic, go through consultations with a doctor and get his permission for the treatment.

Is Cialis as good as Viagra?

Compared to other impotence pills such as Viagra and Levitra, Cialis takes a clear and overwhelming lead when it comes to duration of its effects. Just a single dose is enough to produce the desired effects lasting up to 36 hours – hence the nickname “the weekend pill”. This unique characteristic, unmatched by any other currently available ED treatment is at the core of Cialis’ immense popularity worldwide.

It is a prescription-only medicine, which means it can be obtained either through a visit to the doctor or via certified online clinic, where the medical assessment and getting a prescription will be handled online, through a specialized questionnaire detailing the specifics of your condition and other factors which might interfere with the treatment.

How does Cialis work?

At the core of Cialis’ effectiveness is its active ingredient tadalafil. Tadalafil belongs to a class of unique pharmacological compounds, PDE 5 inhibitors, first discovered and utilized in ED treatment back in 1998. What this means is that results produced by Cialis treatment are, on the biochemical and physiological levels, rooted in the inhibition of phosphodiesterase type 5 enzymes. In layman’s terms, this means that Cialis contributes to sufficient blood flow within the penis – a necessary precondition for gaining and maintaining an erection.

PDE 5 enzymes naturally exist in a man’s body and they play a crucial role in driving the blood away from the penis after ejaculation in order to end the erection and prevent penis injury. However, in people struggling with ED, the levels of these enzymes are usually heightened, thus causing a premature withdrawal of blood from the penis, essentially making maintaining an erection impossible. This is where Cialis’ magic takes places, as it slows down this process and brings back PDE 5 levels to normal.

It is important to note that this does not mean that Cialis, or any other impotence treatment for that matter, cause erection by itself. Sexual arousal is still necessary, and the medicine will just address the physiological obstacles to a healthy erection.

How fast does it work & how long does it last?

It usually takes about half an hour from the moment Cialis is consumed to the moment it produces the desired effects, making Cialis ED treatment with medium onset. However, the exact time might slightly vary, depending on your physique and whether you have eaten something at the same time or just prior to taking the pill.

The half-life of tadalafil in the blood is roughly 17 hours, however, the duration of the effects can reach up to 36 hours, thus justifying the nickname “the weekend pill”. With this long duration, Cialis is unmatched by any other impotence pills which usually remain active for four to five hours.

But, the weekend pill has an additional positive side – this long duration means you can simply take one pill on Friday evening and enjoy the effects until Sunday morning, allowing you to plan less and simply enjoy in the spontaneity of your love life.

How is Cialis dosed?

Cialis is available in different doses and can, therefore, be adjusted to your specific needs. The regular version of the medicine can be purchased with 2.5, 5, 10 or 20mg of active ingredient, tadalafil. Which dose will be recommended by your doctor depends entirely on the severity of your condition, physique and different non-specific factors which might influence the doctor’s decision.

For most, 10mg is the starting dose which is adjusted as needed over the course of the treatment. However, it is very important to note that you should not increase or decrease the dosage by yourself – for example, by taking two tablets or cutting one in two halves – any change in the treatment must be approved and recommended by the doctor.

The lower doses of 2.5 and 5mg respectively are intended mostly for prolonged use and for rare cases where patients might be oversensitive to tadalafil. At the same time, Cialis Once Daily, intended for everyday use is also manufactured with a lower concentration of the active ingredient.

How is Cialis Used?

Cialis comes in form of tablets with one tablet making up one dose. For most, the starting dose will be 10mg, but in some cases, the doctor might recommend starting with 20mg. Due to the high potency of tadalafil, Cialis can be administered in significantly lower doses as compared to most other impotence pills.

The tablet is taken approximately half an hour before intercourse and the effects last for 36 hours for regular Cialis and 24 hours for Cialis Once Daily. You should never take more than one pill per day and in case of regular Cialis, more than one in 36 hours. Any long-term treatment with Cialis should be discussed in detail with your doctor.

Long-term use

For those of you who are lucky enough to have a very active sex life and require Cialis rather often, Cialis Once Daily might be exactly what you need. It contains a lower dose of active ingredient (2.5 or 5mg) and is much more suitable for everyday use. However, this is only possible if your health condition and fitness allows for this kind of treatment and if Cialis produces the desired results with the prescribed dose.

Be sure to always thoroughly discuss long-term treatment or changes in the dosage with your doctor before doing anything on your own!

Can I buy Cialis without a prescription?

Cialis is a prescription-only medicine, and can’t be obtained over the counter legally. If you want to be sure that you’ll get the real deal, and not a fake, you must go through a doctor to get a prescription and then to a pharmacy to actually pick up your medicine.

Of course, if you’re not a big fan of waiting in line at the pharmacy, or find talking about ED to your doctor a bit awkward, you can always choose to buy Cialis online – through an online clinic, where you’ll go through the same process, but by only using your computer or a smartphone.

However, if you do decide to go through an online clinic, be aware that the same rules still apply! If anyone’s offering you to buy Cialis without prescription, especially if it is online, most likely it is a scam that you should definitely avoid. Not only can you get robbed of your money, but you might even receive “a fake”, another medicine sold as Viagra, which can have serious consequences on your health!

Certified internet clinics usually provide their customers with online consultations with medical professionals who are within their legal rights to issue a prescription if they deem the treatment safe and suitable in any specific case. Only once you get the doctor’s prescription, you can legally buy Cialis online.

Are there any side effects?

Like with all other medicines, some side effects have been documented over the course of rigorous clinical trials. While most people will not experience any adverse effects whatsoever, some of them can manifest. The most common ones include:

  • Indigestion
  • Redness of the face
  • Stuffy nose
  • Muscle or back pain
  • Pain in arms and legs
  • Headache
  • Increased sweating
  • Dizziness

In some very rare cases, more serious side effects such as blood clots or cardiovascular problem may occur. Although this is rather rare, Cialis is not recommended for men who have heightened the risk of these conditions.

Be sure to carefully read the full list of possible side effects in the official leaflet and consult with your doctor about possible contraindications.

Who cannot use Cialis?

As mentioned, men who are at risk of cardiovascular conditions or have already been diagnosed with some of them should not use Cialis. In more detail, you should avoid this medicine if you

  • Have heart problems
  • Have low blood pressure
  • Have been diagnosed with eye or vision conditions
  • Take any nitrate-based medicines or beta blockers
  • You have psychological impotence

Cialis vs Viagra

No matter which impotence pills appear on the market, one cannot deny the fact that Viagra remains the best-known and also best-sold ED treatment out there. This is why many forget that different impotence pills have subtle differences that make them suitable for different people and different types of conditions. So, what is the difference between Cialis and Viagra, and why should you choose one over the other?

For starters, both belong to the same type of PDE-5 inhibitors, meaning they have very similar effects and similar mechanism of action, as well as similar side effects. Some might choose one over the other because side effects are less prominent or the duration and onset are more in line with one’s sexual life. Below, we’ll show you a brief overview of some general facts:

  Cialis Viagra
Onset 30 minutes – 1 hour 30 minutes – 1 hour
Duration 36 hours 5 hours
Active Substance Tadalafil Sildenafil
Advantage The longest duration Oldest and most reliable

How do I start the treatment?

If you have problems with ED, the first thing you should do is figure out what is the root cause of your condition. If it’s psychological impotence, caused by stress, anxiety or mental pressure, Cialis won’t do you any good aside from maybe being a placebo.

To do this, it is vital that you consult with a medical professional, whether face to face through a traditional appointment or via an online clinic if you’d rather avoid that awkward talk with a doctor.

Once your doctor or physician determines you are suitable for Cialis treatment, he will issue a prescription which you can then use to purchase Cialis at the pharmacy, or if you chose an online clinic, you can order it directly from the website.
