Cialis (Tadalafil) Tablets: Prices, Strengths and Pack Sizes

We list Cialis as film-coated tadalafil tablets for oral use, offered in four strengths - 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg - with pack sizes ranging from ten tablets up to 360 tablets depending on the strength chosen. This guide walks through the exact choices available in our catalogue, the package value shown for selected 20 mg packs, and the practical questions worth answering before you decide on a strength and quantity.

Tadalafil belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class, and Cialis is the long-established brand name under which it was first brought to market. Because the same active ingredient sits behind every Cialis strength we stock, the choice is mainly about the prescribed dosing pattern, the strength that is suitable for you, and a quantity that matches realistic use rather than price alone.

Cialis strengths and pack sizes at a glance

We currently hold four Cialis strengths, each with its own range of pack sizes:

• 2.5 mg tablets - packs of 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360
• 5 mg tablets - packs of 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360
• 10 mg tablets - packs of 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360
• 20 mg tablets - packs of 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360

The 2.5 mg and 5 mg strengths are commonly associated with once-daily erectile dysfunction regimens, while 10 mg and 20 mg are commonly used for dosing as needed before sexual activity. A 5 mg once-daily regimen may also be prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia. These general patterns do not determine which option is appropriate for an individual, and the number of tablets in a pack should never be treated as a dosing instruction.

Check both the strength and tablet count before completing checkout. A pack of 30 tablets at one strength is not interchangeable with the same tablet count at another strength, and taking multiple lower-strength tablets without professional advice can increase the risk of dosing errors.

How much does Cialis cost across our pack sizes?

Pack size is an important part of the value decision, but total price and cost per tablet need to be considered alongside expected use. A larger supply is only practical when the strength is already suitable, the tablets are likely to be used before their expiry date, and they can be stored correctly for the full period.

We have built the following comparison for all nine of our 20 mg package quantities. It shows the exact price in GBP, cost per tablet and relative savings available from us, allowing like-for-like comparison within the same strength before you add a pack to your basket.

Use the figures in that comparison exactly as shown. A lower unit price can indicate better package value, but it is not a reason to order more tablets than you expect to need or to choose 20 mg when another strength has been recommended. Prices and per-tablet values for the other strengths should be checked against the exact option displayed during selection and checkout rather than inferred from the 20 mg table.

Total spend also matters. Even where a larger pack has a lower cost per tablet, a smaller pack may be the more sensible initial choice when a dose is being reviewed, use is expected to be occasional, or the available expiry period is uncertain. Conversely, someone with an established regimen may place greater weight on continuity of supply, provided the quantity remains appropriate.

Which strength and quantity suits your plan?

Three practical questions tend to clarify the choice:

• Do you expect to take tadalafil occasionally, or has a regular low-dose routine been recommended?
• How much supply can you realistically use before the expiry date printed on the pack?
• Do you already know your usual effective strength, or is your dose still being assessed?

For erectile dysfunction, a typical as-needed starting dose is 10 mg taken before anticipated sexual activity. Depending on response and tolerability, a prescriber may consider 5 mg or 20 mg. For frequent use, a once-daily regimen of 2.5 mg or 5 mg may be considered. Tadalafil should not normally be taken more than once a day, and 10 mg or 20 mg continuous daily use is not recommended.

If you are still finding a suitable dose, a smaller package can avoid committing to a long supply before tolerability and response are clear. If you already have an established regimen, compare the available quantities against your anticipated supply period and the expiry information supplied with the tablets. Do not change from as-needed use to daily use, split tablets, combine strengths or increase the dose simply to make a package last for a preferred period.

It is also worth allowing for changes in health or other medicines. A future nitrate prescription, significant cardiovascular event, change in kidney or liver function, or addition of an interacting medicine may alter whether tadalafil remains suitable. Ordering a quantity that reflects a realistic review period can therefore be more important than securing the lowest displayed unit cost.

Cialis, generic tadalafil and sildenafil compared

Cialis is a branded tadalafil tablet. An authorised generic tadalafil tablet contains the same active ingredient and must meet applicable quality and bioequivalence standards, although the manufacturer, appearance, inactive ingredients, packaging and price can differ. Sildenafil is a different PDE5 inhibitor and is a meaningful alternative when a shorter period of action is preferred or tadalafil is unsuitable.

The longer potential window with tadalafil does not mean a continuous erection; sexual stimulation is still required, and the effect varies between individuals. It also does not make tadalafil universally better than sildenafil. Duration, adverse effects, interactions, previous response and the preferred degree of planning all matter.

We also carry Cialis Professional as a separate tadalafil-based listing. Check that page's stated strength, dosage form and package options directly before comparing it with the standard Cialis tablets described here; products that share an active ingredient should not be assumed to have identical presentations or instructions.

Tadalafil uses and product role

Tadalafil is prescribed for erectile dysfunction, and the same active ingredient is also used for benign prostatic hyperplasia and, under different product and dosing arrangements, pulmonary arterial hypertension. The Cialis package options on this page should be chosen according to their intended prescribed use rather than assuming that every strength or quantity is suitable for all tadalafil indications.

For erectile dysfunction, tadalafil supports blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation rather than causing an erection by itself. Its defining practical feature compared with shorter-acting PDE5 inhibitors is duration: after an as-needed dose, responsiveness may remain possible for up to around 36 hours. This wider window can reduce the need to time a dose immediately before sexual activity, but it does not remove the need to follow dose and frequency limits.

Erectile dysfunction can sometimes be associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hormonal problems, medicine effects or psychological factors. New, persistent or worsening symptoms merit a clinical assessment rather than repeated dose escalation. Treating an underlying cause may be as important as selecting a tadalafil package.

How tadalafil works and how it is typically taken

During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide helps increase cyclic guanosine monophosphate in penile tissue, relaxing smooth muscle and supporting blood flow. PDE5 breaks down this signalling molecule. Tadalafil inhibits PDE5, allowing the natural response to persist for longer; it does not create sexual desire or work without stimulation.

Tadalafil tablets are swallowed by mouth and can be taken with or without food because food does not meaningfully affect tadalafil absorption. For as-needed erectile dysfunction use, the medicine may begin to work from around 30 minutes after a dose, although individual onset varies. Alcohol does not directly prevent absorption, but substantial alcohol intake can increase dizziness, lower blood pressure and make it more difficult to achieve an erection.

Once-daily dosing is taken at approximately the same time each day so that tadalafil exposure remains relatively steady. An as-needed dose is not added on top of a daily regimen unless a prescriber has specifically directed this. If a daily dose is missed, it should not be doubled to compensate. The supplied patient information should be followed for the exact product in hand.

Response is not judged by a single factor. Timing, sexual stimulation, anxiety, alcohol intake, underlying illness and correct use can all affect results. Repeated lack of effect should lead to a review of technique, diagnosis and dose rather than unsupervised use of extra tablets or combination with another erectile dysfunction medicine.

Safety, interactions and who should be cautious

Tadalafil is generally well tolerated, but it has a defined safety profile worth reviewing before ordering:

• Common effects include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing and nasal congestion.
• It must not be combined with nitrate medicines or nitric oxide donors because the combination can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure. Riociguat is also contraindicated.
• Caution is needed with alpha-blockers, other blood pressure medicines and substantial alcohol intake because their blood-pressure-lowering effects may add together.
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, including ketoconazole and ritonavir, can increase tadalafil exposure, while inducers such as rifampicin can reduce it.
• Extra assessment may be needed for severe heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke, low blood pressure, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or significant kidney or liver impairment.
• Tadalafil should be avoided during pregnancy and breast-feeding as a precaution, and these tablets are not intended for anyone under 18.
• Dizziness has been reported, so establish how tadalafil affects you before driving or operating machinery.

Do not use tadalafil with another PDE5 inhibitor or another erectile dysfunction treatment unless this has been specifically reviewed. It is also contraindicated in people who have lost vision in one eye because of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy, whether or not that event was linked to previous PDE5 inhibitor use.

Seek urgent medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours, chest pain, a severe allergic reaction, or sudden loss of vision or hearing. If chest pain occurs after tadalafil, do not take a nitrate for it; tell emergency professionals when tadalafil was last taken. This information summarises established medicine risks and does not replace assessment of a person's medical history, cardiovascular fitness and current medicines.

Is a prescription required to order Cialis from us in the UK?

In the United Kingdom, tadalafil tablets are classified as a prescription-only medicine, meaning pharmacies ordinarily dispense them against a valid prescription. That classification describes the medicine itself and is separate from how we handle orders: our ordering policy does not require you to submit a prescription before we accept an order, so you can complete a purchase with us without providing one in advance.

Tadalafil as an active ingredient is authorised for human medicinal use in the UK. This ingredient-level status should not be confused with the identity of a particular brand, strength, package size or presentation. Likewise, the prescription classification applies to the tablet dosage form and does not change according to whether a pack contains 10 or 360 tablets.

Not having to upload a prescription at checkout does not make tadalafil clinically suitable for everyone or remove the need to use it in accordance with appropriate medical advice. If you are unsure about contraindications, interactions, dose selection or a recent change in health, our pharmacist can answer product-related questions before an order is placed.

Ordering, delivery and receiving your Cialis order

We have been operating since 2018, and our support team is available 24/7 by email and online chat, with a pharmacist on hand to answer questions about the product before or after you order. Once you have chosen a strength and pack size, our checkout confirms the exact option selected and the price shown in GBP for that pack.

Before payment, review the product name, strength, quantity and delivery address together. Similar pack counts can contain different strengths, so the strength should be checked independently rather than identified by quantity alone. Enter the full UK delivery address and postcode accurately, and contact our support team promptly if an order detail needs to be amended.

We pack and dispatch orders for delivery to UK addresses. Delivery timing can depend on the destination and the applicable service shown during ordering, so use the checkout information for the current option rather than relying on a general estimate. When the parcel arrives:

• Confirm that the outer package is intact and that the received strength and quantity match the order.
• Read the supplied patient information before taking the tablets, even if you have used tadalafil previously.
• Check the expiry date and do not use tablets that are damaged, discoloured or outside that date.
• Contact our support team if the product received does not match the selected option or if the parcel appears damaged.

Keep tadalafil in its original container rather than transferring a long supply into an unlabelled container. Do not share tablets with another person, even if they report similar symptoms, because contraindications, interacting medicines and suitable doses can differ.

Choosing the best-value Cialis option for you

Working through strength, pack size and package value together gives a clearer answer than looking at price alone. Start with the strength and dosing pattern that are appropriate for you, then compare only the quantities available within that option. For 20 mg packs, the package-value comparison near the beginning of this guide provides the exact current figures to use.

A practical quantity should reflect frequency of use, confidence in the selected dose, the likely review period and the expiry date. The largest pack is not automatically the best choice, particularly when treatment is new, use is occasional or medicines and health conditions may change. Equally, repeatedly selecting a very small pack may be less convenient for someone whose stable regimen and expected use are already clear.

Store the tablets at 25°C; excursions are permitted between 15°C and 30°C. Keep them in the original container, protected from moisture and out of reach of children. Storage conditions and expiry matter more as the planned supply becomes longer, so check that you can maintain them before selecting a high tablet count.
