Moderation is key while on Cialis or the generic version, Tadalafil. Drinking too much alcohol with this medication may lead to a significant drop in blood pressure, headache, dizziness, or fainting. Keep in mind, Cialis (Tadalafil) may stay in your system for up to 1.5 days.

How many drinks can you have while taking Cialis (Tadalafil)?

Drinking alcohol while taking Cialis (Tadalafil) is fine in smaller amounts. 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:"

  • 12 ounces of beer
  • 5 ounces of wine
  • 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor, such as gin, vodka, whiskey, rum, or tequila

Having 5 or more alcoholic beverages while taking Cialis (Tadalafil) may cause serious side effects.

What side effects could you experience when you drink too much on Cialis (Tadalafil?)

Drinking too much alcohol while taking Cialis (Tadalafil) may cause Orthostatic Hypotension (low blood pressure). Common symptoms include:

  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Fainting
  • Rapid Heart rate

Cialis (Tadalafil) is considered a vasodilator, meaning it lowers your blood pressure. Cialis (Tadalafil) lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels (arteries) throughout the body.

Alcohol temporarily raises your blood pressure, but once the alcohol is processed out of your body, it may drop quickly. When mixing Cialis (Tadalafil) with alcohol, your blood pressure may be lowered unsafe levels.

Common side effects made worse by drinking:

  • Nausea
  • Muscle aches
  • Diarrhea
  • Flushed skin
  • Racing heart
  • Coughing
  • Stomach pain
  • Changes in vision
  • Decreased hearing

Since Cialis (Tadalafil) is long-lasting, it's good to keep your drinking in moderation for 1.5 days.

Did you know that Tadalafil is the same as Cialis - except much more cost-effective?

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 oppose 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!

What's the easiest, most discreet way to get Tadalafil (generic Cialis)?
