Medication guideHow Long Does Tadalafil (Cialis) Last?
Tadalafil (Cialis) tablets can support erectile function for up to 36 hours after an as-needed dose. That is a window in which the medicine may help with sexual stimulation—not a 36-hour erection or a guarantee of response.
Medication guideCan You Take Sildenafil and Tadalafil Together?
Do not add sildenafil (Viagra) to tadalafil (Cialis), or vice versa, on your own. Their approved labels advise against combining them with other PDE5 inhibitors. A prescribed compounded combination requires an individualized clinical decision; it is not permission to stack separate medicines.

SafetyTadalafil (Cialis) Side Effects: What to Know
Tadalafil (Cialis) can cause headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing and nasal congestion. Some symptoms need urgent care. The priority is identifying what you are experiencing and getting the right advice—not changing your dose to push through it.
SafetySildenafil (Viagra) Side Effects: What to Know
Sildenafil (Viagra) can cause headache, flushing, indigestion, a stuffy nose and visual disturbances. If symptoms are severe, sudden or unusual, seek medical advice promptly. Some symptoms—including a prolonged erection or sudden vision loss—need immediate care.
SafetyViagra, Cialis and Alcohol: What to Know
Alcohol can make erections less reliable, and drinking heavily while using an ED medicine can add safety concerns. Tadalafil has a specific warning about substantial alcohol intake and low blood pressure. Ask your prescriber what is appropriate for your health and exact prescription.
TreatmentTadalafil (Cialis) Not Working? What to Review
If tadalafil (Cialis) is not helping, contact your prescriber to review the treatment and possible contributing factors. Do not increase the dose, switch between daily and as-needed use, or add sildenafil on your own.
