What causes erectile dysfunction?

The inability to obtain and sustain an erection for sex is referred to as erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence. Erectile dysfunction is a more common problem than many realise, especially among men over 50.

It is estimated that about half of men will experience erectile dysfunction by the time they reach middle age, and it is something most find?upsetting or embarrassing.

Many different factors can cause erectile dysfunction, such as:

Your lifestyle - being overweight or obese, tobacco use or drinking in excess

Emotional reasons - stress, anxiety, or depression

Underlying health conditions - high blood pressure, diabetes, atherosclerosis (hardening or blocked arteries) or heart disease

If you start experiencing erectile dysfunction, you should see your doctor for a health check.

Our erectile dysfunction page has more information about the condition and the range of available treatments.

How does tadalafil treat erectile dysfunction?

Tadalafil belongs to a class of drugs known as enzyme phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. This PDE5 chemical is produced naturally in the body and aids in blood flow regulation.

Tadalafil blocks the action of this PDE5 chemical, causing the blood vessels that supply the penis to get wider and allow more blood flow, making it easier to achieve an erection when aroused.

Generic tadalafil vs branded Cialis

Tadalafil is the active ingredient in both Tadalafil tablets and branded Cialis. Generic drugs have the same active ingredients and work the same way as branded ones but can be made by other medicine manufacturers.

Initially made by Eli Lilly, Cialis tablets were approved to treat erectile dysfunction in 2003. They were found to last longer than the first choice treatment, Sildenafil.

Tadalafil can last up to 36 hours, earning the nickname "weekend pill", with people finding that the tablet they take on a Friday night still works by Sunday morning.

The main difference between these two products is in the price. Tadalafil, being generic, is made by a range of different manufacturers and this increased competition makes it cheaper.

Both versions have the same effectiveness in treating erectile dysfunction. Therefore, buying trusted generic tadalafil can save money without compromising quality.

To understand more, we have an in-depth article about why we have branded and generic Tadalafil.

Who can use tadalafil?

Tadalafil can be used by most men, and those assigned male at birth, over the age of 18 to treat erectile dysfunction.

A prescription is required to obtain tadalafil tablets. At Oxford Online Pharmacy, our UK-registered doctors will assess your online consultation and issue a prescription for tadalafil if they think it’s the best and safest treatment for you.

Tadalafil is also available as an over-the-counter treatment, called Cialis Together, without a prescription. This is less cost-effective but can be a good option for those unsure about using an online doctor service.

If you are unsure whether tadalafil is the right treatment for you, contact a member of our healthcare team who will be happy to advise you.

Which strength of tadalafil should I choose?

Tadalafil tablets are available in 4 different strengths: 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. These strengths are all available at Oxford Online Pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you take tadalafil?

Tadalafil is a small, film-coated tablet that can be taken easily with water. If you have the lower dose (2.5mg or 5mg), you need to take one tablet a day, at roughly the same time each day. This will allow you to enjoy spontaneous sex, any time. The other doses available are 10mg or 20mg; these need to be taken before intercourse.

How long does tadalafil last?

Tadalafil lasts for up to 36 hours after taking the tablet.

What is the tadalafil dosage?

Tadalafil comes in four doses: 2.5mg and 5mg, which can be taken daily; and 10 and 20 mg which need to be taken at least 30 minutes before intercourse.

Generally, doctors will initially recommend a 10mg pill taken before sexual activity. If Tadalafil 10mg does not produce an adequate effect, the dose can be raised to 20mg; this may also be taken at least 30 minutes prior to sexual activity.

You must not take more than one Tadalafil 10mg or 20mg in one day, and these doses are not recommended for daily use. If you anticipate using Tadalafil on a regular basis (i.e. more than twice a week), the lower, daily dose may be considered more suitable; your doctor or our pharmacist can advise you on this. If the daily dose is recommended, customers usually start on 5mg a day, taken at about the same time each day, with the dose dropping to 2.5mg based on the individual results.

How much does tadalafil cost?

Oxford Online Pharmacy offers low cost tadalafil, with daily doses costing less than £1 a day, and 20mg and 10mg doses starting at £2.18 per pill (based on buying 64 tablets).

How can i order tadalafil online?

It is simple to order Tadalafil online. If this is your first time buying erectile dysfunction tablets online, the usual recommended dose is 10 mg taken prior to anticipated sexual activity with or without food, but if you anticipate using Tadalafil more than twice a week, your doctor may recommend a daily dose of 5mg instead.

To order your Tadalafil, select your products and add them to your basket. Once you have finished shopping, go to the checkout and enter your payment details. Once you have completed the process, you will be asked to answer some questions; these form part of your online consultation and it is important that you answer them accurately. These answers will be reviewed by one of our doctors, who will either issue your prescription and your order will be dispatched, or they will contact you to advise a slight change in your order.

If you complete your order before 3 p.m., your discreet package will be dispatched on the same working day.

What are the alternative treatments to tadalafil?

Tadalafil is a generic term which covers several branded and unbranded products which contain the same active ingredient. Sildenafil is also a PDE5 inhibitor and is available in a few branded forms, including Viagra.

PDE5 inhibitors work for around 66% of patients, but if they are not successful, medical professionals recommend products which contain alprostadil, a vasodilator which is the active ingredient in erectile dysfunction treatments such as Caverject, Viridal and Muse.

Who shouldn't use tadalafil?

It is not advisable that you use any Tadalafil products if you:

Suffer from heart problems and the doctor has advised against vigorous activity;
Have recently had a heart attack or stroke;
Have had temporary vision loss;
Are allergic to Tadalafil.

If you are in doubt about whether you should use Tadalafil, let us know your concerns during your online consultation and your doctor will advise you on what is best.

Is tadalafil available over the counter?

Yes. As of recently, tadalafil is now available over the counter, branded as Cialis Together, this treatment comes in a box of 4 or 8 tablets and is available in the 10mg tadalafil strength.

Which is better tadalafil or sildenafil?

While both tadalafil and sildenafil are effective erectile dysfunction treatments, you may want to consider the differences between them. While the effect of sildenafil lasts between 4-5 hours, tadalafil can stay in your system for up to 36 hours. Sildenafil tablets are only available in a as needed dose, while you can get tadalafil daily in 2.5mg and 5mg tablets, this is preferred by those who seek more spontaneity.

Therefore, to answer the question of which is better tadalafil or sildenafil, they are both effective erectile dysfunction treatments and ultimately it comes down to your individual needs and preferences.

You can find more information in our dedicated article here: Tadalafil vs Sildenafil: which is better for ED?

How much tadalafil can I order?

You can order up to 6 months' worth of tadalafil daily and 3 months' worth of tadalafil as needed tablets. This is because you shouldn’t be taking tadalafil as needed tablets every day, so in theory, the 3 months’ worth should last you for at least 6 months.

Who should NOT take tadalafil?

Tadalafil should not be taken by women unless prescribed by a doctor for pulmonary arterial hypertension. It's important to note that not everyone can safely take tadalafil.

Avoid taking tadalafil tablets if:

You have an allergy to tadalafil or any ingredients specified in section 6 of this medication.

You are using any type of organic nitrate or nitric oxide donors like amyl nitrite, which belong to a group of medications (known as 'nitrates') used for treating angina pectoris (chest pain). Tadalafil can amplify their effects. Inform your doctor if you're using any form of nitrate or are uncertain.

You have severe heart disease or have experienced a heart attack within the past 90 days.

You have had a stroke within the last 6 months.

You experience low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure.

You've had vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), described as a 'stroke of the eye.'

You're taking riociguat, a medication used for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. PDE5 inhibitors like tadalafil have been shown to increase the hypotensive effects of this medicine. Inform your doctor if you're taking riociguat or are uncertain about it.

When is the best time to take tadalafil?

The best time to take tadalafil as needed tablets is at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.
