Since insurance companies differ, call your provider if you have questions about tadalafil coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People often worry about the effects of long-term tadalafil use. Thankfully, there isn\u2019t much to be concerned with here. \u201cOverall, tadalafil has a strong long\u2011term safety record in clinical trials and post\u2011marketing surveillance, including studies with daily 5 mg for many months to years,\u201d Dr. Das assures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, there are sometimes instances where taking tadalafil isn\u2019t compatible with other medications you are taking. In particular, \u201ctadalafil is contraindicated in patients taking nitrate medications due to the risk for severe low blood pressure,\u201d Dr. Ford says. As such, if you are prescribed a<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/drug-classes\/nitrates\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nitrate medication<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (such as<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/nitroglycerin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nitroglycerin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for chest pain associated with heart disease), you must avoid tadalafil for 48 hours. Additionally, use caution with alpha blockers, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/tamsulosin-hcl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tamsulosin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/doxazosin-mesylate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doxazosin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, because this combination can lower blood pressure as well. This is not a complete list. Be sure to share all prescription and over-the-counter medications you take with your prescribing provider to avoid a drug interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"comparing-daily-vs-as-needed-tadalafil-use\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparing daily vs. as-needed tadalafil use<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re unsure which is better for you\u2014daily use of tadalafil or \u201con demand\u201d use\u2014talk it over with your healthcare provider. Plus, the following are some considerations to keep in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"effectiveness\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effectiveness<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There isn\u2019t strong evidence to find that daily tadalafil is more or less effective than \u201con demand\u201d dosing. Both seem to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tau.amegroups.org\/article\/view\/44824\/html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">effective for ED<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But for some people, having tadalafil in their system at a steadier pace may make it more effective. \u201cTaking low-dose Cialis [tadalafil] may provide improved blood flow compared to taking it as needed, almost like \u2018priming the pump\u2019 so to speak,\u201d Dr. Eswara says, thereby improving erectile function.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"side-effects\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side effects<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone reacts differently to tadalafil. Some people experience no <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/cialis-side-effects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while others may have more noticeable side effects. The good news is that serious side effects are uncommon. \u201cMost side effects are mild, like headache, some nasal congestion, or back pain, and often improve as the body adjusts,\u201d Dr. Chughtai notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do experience side effects, the disadvantage to daily use of tadalafil is that you\u2019ll experience these side effects more persistently, whereas \u201con demand\u201d use minimizes side effect exposure. If daily tadalafil is a priority for you, \u201cdose reduction (5 mg to 2.5 mg) or switching to on\u2011demand use or a different phosphodiesterase type 5 can help,\u201d Dr. Das says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"lifestyle-integration\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifestyle integration<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main pro of daily tadalafil is that it can be taken without consideration of sexual function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis gives the patient the freedom to take the medication at a time convenient for them and is shown to be useful in patients desiring more spontaneous sexual intercourse or those who have concomitant BPH symptoms,\u201d Dr. Ford says.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But for other men, as-needed tadalafil works well, and they\u2019d rather not have a routine that involves daily ED pills. \u201cThe choice really comes down to lifestyle, urinary symptoms, and frequency of sexual activity,\u201d Dr. Chughtai says.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-bottom-line\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like with any medication, taking tadalafil on a daily basis isn\u2019t the best choice for everyone. \u201cSome men prefer not to take a daily pill, and others may experience side effects like headache or nasal congestion,\u201d Dr. Chughtai says. \u201cThere is no one-size-fits-all approach.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Chughtai urges patients to seek medical advice from their provider, discussing their symptoms, preferences, and quality-of-life goals. \u201cUltimately, daily tadalafil is about improving quality of life, both in terms of sexual health and urinary function,\u201d he concludes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a lot more common than most people think, affecting an estimated 30 million men in the United States alone, according to the NIH.
