Cialis works relatively quickly. You may start to feel its effects after about 30 minutes. But it can take up to 2 hours for its full effects to kick in. By comparison, Viagra begins to work within 30 minutes; its maximum effects generally appear after 45 minutes to 1 hour.
If your doctor recommends that you take Cialis only as needed for ED, the usual dosage is 10 mg before sexual activity. They may reduce this to 5 mg if the medication is working too well. But if this dose doesn't work for you, your doctor may have you take two 5 mg tablets of Cialis at once.
Cialis Daily should continue to be effective for as long as you take it. When taken correctly, Cialis should begin to work within 30-60 minutes. The effects of one Cialis tablet can last up to 36 hours; however during this period you will only achieve an erection if you become sexually aroused.
Compared with other ED drugs, Cialis lasts longer, working for up to 36 hours. But that doesn't mean a continuous erection for 36 hours. It means that the medicine enhances your ability to get hard over the course of 36 hours.
Yes, there are medical treatments available to help maintain an erection after ejaculation. These treatments may include medications such as Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra, as well as injections, vacuum pumps, and penile implants.
Effectiveness of all PDE5 inhibitors is similar; although reported effectiveness of Viagra, at 84% is slightly higher than that of Cialis at 81%. However, more men prefer Cialis because of its longer duration of effect.
Peak plasma concentrations of Cialis are reached within 30 minutes to six hours (average time two hours) of a dose. Effects of 'as needed' Cialis last for up to 36 hours. The recommended starting dose for once-daily Cialis for ED is 2.5mg; once daily Cialis for BPH, 5mg; and 'as needed' Cialis, 10mg.

You can't generally make Cialis work faster
You can't speed it up after you've taken it.
Using them incorrectly — having the wrong dosage or not following instructions — can cause Cialis not to work. Cialis might also fail if your ED is related to psychological issues — performance anxiety, intimacy issues, low self-confidence and depression can all affect your erections.
Viagra and Cialis May Cut Risk of Early Death From Heart Disease by 25 Percent. A large new study shows that men who take erectile dysfunction medication are less likely to experience heart failure, stroke, and heart attack.
Moderate drinking while taking Cialis is unlikely to cause any side effects, however, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to harmful interactions. Both Cialis and alcohol can act as mild vasodilators, which means they widen blood vessels, allowing greater blood flow throughout the body.
You may have heard that PDE-5 inhibitors increase blood flow to the penis, but they can also increase blood flow elsewhere in the body. Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis, but it is also the active ingredient in two other drugs: Adcirca and Alyq.
There are two ways to take Cialis: either as-needed, at least 30 to 60 minutes prior to sexual activity or once a day at the same time every day without regard for the timing of sexual activity (Smith-Harrison, 2016).

Cialis may not work for 20-30% of men who try it for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Dosage for ED and BPH
For use as a single medication to treat both ED and BPH, the recommended Cialis dosage is 5 mg taken once per day. You don't have to take Cialis at any specific time before sexual activity when it's prescribed in this way. You can take your dose at any time of day.
The biggest difference between Viagra and Cialis is the amount of time their effects last. Viagra remains effective for 4 to 6 hours, which offers ample opportunity to have sex on multiple occasions if you wish. However Cialis typically allows you to achieve erections for up to 36 hours after taking a tablet.
Because daily-use Cialis is taken at a lower dosage than as-needed CIalis, you may have a reduced risk of experiencing side effects from your medication. Many side effects are less common when Cialis is used daily.
You need a prescription from a doctor to buy tadalafil.
Some people might also wonder whether Cialis could lose effectiveness over time. While some users might argue that they need to increase their dosage, generally speaking, there's no research to suggest that men can build immunity or tolerance to these medications.
Do not split the dose. Take Cialis just before sexual activity, but not more than once per day.
