Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an incredibly common condition, it is thought to affect half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70. In some cases, it can be mild or only occur infrequently; in other cases, it can be an indication of an underlying health condition like high blood pressure, diabetes or an overactive thyroid. For many men, ED becomes more of a problem as they age. The good news is that tablets known as PDE-5 inhibitors can be prescribed; these tablets contain medicine that temporarily increases blood flow to the penis, allowing you to attain and maintain an erection sufficient for sex. There are several PDE-5 inhibitors available but one of the most popular is Cialis, which comes in two varieties: Cialis prescribed for one-off use and Cialis Daily taken every day. If you’re suffering from erectile dysfunction and considering treatment, read on to learn more about the differences between Cialis, Cialis Daily and the other ED tablets on the market.

What are the side effects?

Cialis Daily

Cialis Daily comes in tablet sizes of 2.5mg and 5mg, and can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, an allergic rash, facial flushing, headache and back pain. These side effects are uncommon and usually resolve within a few days. More known side effects are an erection that does not go away and can cause damage to the penis. Additionally, a sudden decrease in vision and hearing may occur although these side effects are very uncommon. A full list of side effects can be found in the information leaflet.

Cialis

Cialis is available in tablet sizes of 10mg and 20mg and is associated with the same side effects as Cialis Daily. However, because it is prescribed in higher dosages than Cialis Daily, these side effects can be stronger.

Alternative ED tablets

If you don’t think Cialis Daily or regular Cialis are right for you, there are some alternative ED tablets to consider. Just remember that Cialis Daily is currently the only 'every day' option for men with ED. Viagra is the most famous ED tablet and works in the same way as Cialis. It lasts 4-6 hours and should be taken 30-60 minutes before sex. Sildenafil contains the same active ingredient as Viagra and works in exactly the same way. Sildenafil is the most affordable ED tablet. Spedra is the fastest-acting ED tablet, as it only has to be taken 15-30 minutes before sex. Levitra is recommended for diabetics, and works in a very similar way to Viagra and Sildenafil. For more information on ED treatments and comparisons visit the LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor ED page.
