Cialis is used to treat erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, in men.
This is when a man cannot get, or maintain, a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity.
Cialis is the brand name for a medication called Tadalafil.
Cialis is a product of Icos
and Eli Lily and because it is effective for significantly longer the alternatives like Viagra is sometimes called "The Weekend Pill".
Cialis comes in 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg doses.
Unfortunately Cialis is not subsidised under the PBS which means patients pay the full price of $6-20 per tablet (depending on dose).
Priligy is not suitable for patients who have:
- Also been prescribed nitrates
- Known hypersensitivity to Tadalafil
Like all medications Cialis has side effects in some patients with headache, stomach upset, back pain, muscle ache, nasal congestion, facial flushing and limb pain being the most common.

To get Cialis you will need a prescription from a doctor. You have the option of seeing a doctor face to face, or seeing an online doctor here on GP2U.
In either case your doctor will make an assessment about your suitability for the medication and make sure you understand both the risks and the benefits.
