    What Is Tadalafil?

    Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor with a longer half-life than sildenafil, allowing for both as-needed use (10–20mg, lasting up to 36 hours) and daily use (2.5–5mg for continuous readiness).

    What It May Help With

    Tadalafil treats erectile dysfunction and is also FDA-approved for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

    Common Questions

    Daily vs. as-needed tadalafil — which is better?

    Daily tadalafil (2.5–5mg) produces continuous readiness and may be preferred by men who want spontaneity. As-needed (10–20mg) is appropriate for less frequent use. Your provider will recommend based on your pattern of activity.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    About This Program

    How quickly does tadalafil work?

    Tadalafil begins working within ~30 minutes for most users and can last up to 36 hours, which is why it is sometimes called “the weekend pill.”

    Do I need lab work for tadalafil?

    No. A provider review of your health history is required, but routine lab work is not part of starting tadalafil.
