Cialis: Dosage and Administration Guidelines from Medscape

For erectile dysfunction (ED), the usual starting dose is 10 mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Adjustments may be made to 5 mg or 20 mg based on individual response and tolerability. Don’t exceed 20 mg per day.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the recommended dose is 5 mg once daily. This should be taken at the same time each day, regardless of sexual activity. Your doctor might adjust this based on your response.

Both ED and BPH treatment can use a once-daily dosage of 2.5 mg or 5 mg, depending on individual needs and medical history.

Cialis is available as tablets for oral administration. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid taking it with grapefruit juice, as it can alter the drug’s metabolism.

Patients with hepatic impairment may require dosage adjustments; consult your physician for specific guidance. Renal impairment also necessitates careful dosage consideration and potentially lower doses. Always discuss your complete medical history with your doctor before starting Cialis.
