Getting the most from Cialis and its generic version Tadalafil is simple. Eating healthy and moderating your alcohol intake are ways to easily reduce your risk of developing side effects when taking your ED medication. But there is something (much less obvious) that may be making your dose of Cialis (Tadalafil) less effective—grapefruit.
Taking an ED medication like Cialis (Tadalafil) may help your erectile dysfunction significantly. However, there are things you can do to ensure you get the best experience. Reduce your ED risk factors by:
Drinking excessively significantly reduces the efficacy of Cialis (Tadalafil) while increasing the risk of serious side effects.
To clarify, drinking in moderation is completely fine. Moderate drinking is defined as 3 or fewer alcoholic drinks per day. Since the amount of alcohol varies based off your drink type, below are examples of what constitutes "1 drink":
Having 5 or more alcoholic beverages while taking Cialis (Tadalafil) may cause serious side effects such as:
Don't eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you're using this medicine. Grapefruits may change the amount of Cialis (Tadalafil) that's absorbed in the body.
An enzyme in your body called CYP 3A4 breaks down the medication, releasing it at an expected rate. This also helps it to work on your body's systems easier. Eating grapefruit lessens the amount of this enzyme in your body and means that Cialis and Tadalafil aren't broken down properly.
The generic version of Cialis is called Tadalafil. The FDA has strict guidelines that ensure that generic drugs contain the same active ingredients. This makes sure that generics are just as effective as their brand name versions.
Pricing, however, is substantially different between the two. Tadalafil costs, on average, 50% LESS than Cialis!
This is because Tadalafil is produced by many manufacturers who are free to set their own competitive pricing. As opposed to Cialis, which is only manufactured by Eli Lilly. Eli Lilly is then free to charge a "premium" price for their brand name medication.
So if you're interested in Cialis as a treatment, we highly suggest purchasing Tadalafil. It's the same exact drug but significantly cheaper!
Erectile dysfunction is common and affects many people. It's nothing to feel embarrassed about. The most effective way to treat ED is with medications such as Tadalafil.
