Can you take tadalafil 5mg daily?

What is tadalafil 5mg daily?

Tadalafil is a PDE-5 inhibitor, which is a medication that improves blood flow in the penis. This helps you get and maintain an erection when you are sexually stimulated. It is one of the most used medications for erection problems and has been prescribed for years. There are two ways to use tadalafil:

• On demand: a higher dose (usually 10mg or 20mg) that you only take 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity.
• Daily: a lower dose of 5mg that you take daily.

The daily variant ensures that your body continuously maintains a small amount of active substance. So you don't have to think or plan in advance when to take a tablet. This gives many men peace and confidence, because they don't have to worry about the possibility of being sexually active.

How effective is tadalafil 5mg daily?

Tadalafil 5mg daily has been proven effective and approved for the treatment of erection problems by the EMA and CBG. The advantage of daily use is that it ensures constant operation. This means that you are ready for sexual activity at any time, without worrying whether the medicine has already been absorbed.

For many men, this not only reduces physical tension, but also mental pressure and uncertainty. Research shows that men who use tadalafil daily are generally more satisfied with their sexual performance and regain their self-confidence.

In addition, it can also have positive effects for some men with additional symptoms, such as mild prostate enlargement. Always discuss this with your doctor to see if this applies to you.

Is 5mg tadalafil enough for on-demand use?

It is good to know that 5mg is primarily intended as a daily maintenance dose. If you only take it “on demand” from time to time, this low dose will probably not be sufficient to achieve the desired effect.

For occasional use, doctors usually recommend 10mg or 20mg, depending on your health situation and any other medications you're taking. It is important to always discuss this with a doctor. This way, you can be sure that the treatment is safe and effective.

If you need the high dose of 20mg for occasional use to achieve the desired effect, a daily dose of 5mg may not work sufficiently. At Fellos, our Dutch doctors are happy to help you with any questions and optimize your treatment.
