Frequently Asked Questions About Cialis for Men
How does Cialis for Men work?
Tadalafil belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. It relaxes the blood vessels supplying the penis, helping you get and keep an erection when sexually aroused. It does not work without sexual stimulation and is not an aphrodisiac.
How long does Cialis for Men last?
A single dose can stay effective for up to 36 hours, which is why tadalafil is often chosen for its flexibility compared with shorter-acting ED treatments.
How do I take Cialis for Men?
Take one 10mg tablet at least 30 minutes before sexual activity, and no more than one tablet in any 24-hour period. Always read the patient information leaflet before use.
Can you buy Cialis over the counter in Ireland?
Yes. Cialis for Men (tadalafil 10mg) can be bought without a doctor's prescription in Ireland after a short assessment reviewed by a pharmacist. Other strengths (5mg and 20mg) remain prescription-only.
What tadalafil options are available in Ireland?
Cialis for Men 10mg is the only tadalafil product available without a prescription. Generic tadalafil, and the other strengths (5mg taken daily, or 20mg), are prescription-only — available through our Online Doctor Service.
Cialis for Men vs Viagra Connect — what's the difference?
Both treat ED but use different active ingredients. Cialis for Men (tadalafil) lasts up to 36 hours, while Viagra Connect (sildenafil) typically works for around 4–6 hours. The right choice depends on how spontaneous you want to be — for a full breakdown of the options see our comparison of Cialis, Viagra Connect, Sidena and Viaredin.
Is Cialis for Men safe? Who shouldn't take it?
Cialis for Men isn't suitable for everyone — for example, men taking nitrates (often used for chest pain/angina) or certain other medicines, or those with some heart conditions. Our pharmacist review checks it's safe for you. Always read the patient information leaflet, and speak to your pharmacist or doctor if you're unsure.
