Cialis Together and Cialis both contain the active ingredient tadalafil. Tadalafil is an active medicinal ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
How is Cialis Together different to Cialis Daily?
Cialis Daily and Cialis Together may contain the same ingredient, tadalafil, however, they are used for different purposes. Cialis Together is an over-the-counter medication that is designed to be used 30 minutes prior to sexual activity. Cialis Daily is designed to be used every day so that you not have to plan your sexual activity around your medication.
Can I take Cialis Together with other erectile dysfunction (ed) treatments?
No. Cialis Together should not be taken with other ED medications. Remember that your health and safety matter the most. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to consult your healthcare professional for guidance, who can advise you.
Will I get an erection that lasts 36hrs when I use Cialis Together?
No. Cialis® Together only becomes effective when you are sexually stimulated, and it's this effect that can last up to 36 hours. Moreover, it is vital to note that sexual arousal is a critical component of the medicine's functioning. So, for optimum results, you and your partner should engage in foreplay. In simple terms, this medication can't guarantee sexual arousal; it only sets the stage for it. Sexual stimulation will help you achieve an erection in the 36 hours after taking a Cialis® Together tablet.
What if I don’t get the results I expected when I use Cialis Together?
This medication is designed to help you achieve an erection, but only when you're feeling sexually aroused. Just like without any erectile dysfunction medication, it's important for you and your partner to engage in foreplay to set the mood.
Take your time and stay patient. There's no need to rush. If you don't succeed on your first attempt, you can try again, but remember, you should only take one tablet a day. For most men, Cialis® Together tablets start working either the first or second time they use it. If it's been a while since you were last able to get or maintain an erection, it might take a few tries before you achieve the desired result.
Should you find that the effect of Cialis® Together tablets is too strong or too weak, or if you've followed the recommended usage but still struggle to achieve and sustain an erection, don't hesitate to have a chat with your doctor, pharmacist or GP.
