Overview

Cialis is the trusted branded version of tadalafil — known worldwide for its long-lasting effect. Lasting up to 36 hours, Cialis helps men regain confidence, enjoy intimacy without rushing, and feel more in control. Whether taken as needed or daily in a lower dose, Cialis provides reliability and freedom.

At SwiftMedi, every order is reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber to ensure safety and suitability, with discreet delivery direct to your door.

 

What is Cialis?


Cialis is a well-known brand medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), helping men achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It contains the active ingredient tadalafil and is popular worldwide for its effectiveness and convenience.

ED affects millions of men in the UK, and Cialis provides a flexible and reliable treatment option to restore sexual confidence and improve quality of life. At SwiftMedi, we also offer generic tadalafil tablets, which contain the same active ingredient as Cialis and provide the same clinical benefits at a more affordable price.


How Does Cialis Work?


Cialis works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow during sexual stimulation. It inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which breaks down the chemical cGMP that facilitates erections. By blocking PDE5, Cialis helps maintain adequate blood flow, allowing men to achieve and sustain an erection when aroused.



 

 



 

Directions

Cialis Once Daily (2.5mg & 5mg)
Low-dose tablets are taken once daily to maintain steady drug levels, ideal for men who have regular sexual activity (two to three times per week). This allows for spontaneous intimacy without needing to plan medication timing.

Cialis As Required (10mg & 20mg)
Higher doses are taken about 30 minutes before sexual activity, with effects lasting up to 36 hours. This offers flexibility for men who have sex less frequently or prefer on-demand treatment.

Cialis should be taken with water and can be taken with or without food. Limit alcohol consumption during treatment.


Dosage Options

2.5mg & 5mg: Daily dosing for regular sexual activity


10mg & 20mg: Taken as needed for occasional use


Your healthcare provider will recommend the dose best suited to your needs.
