All You Need to Know About Cialis vs Tadalafil.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/strong>How is Cialis different from Tadalafil? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cialis<\/a> is a brand name<\/strong> or trade name of the medication that contains tadalafil<\/strong> as its active ingredient.  Cialis is sold for the treatment of erectile dysfunction<\/a><\/strong>. Tadalafil is the generic name of the drug. Cialis contains tadalafil as the active ingredient.<\/p>\n

Typically, medications have two components \u2013 the active ingredient<\/strong> and the carrier<\/strong>. The active ingredient<\/strong> actually does the \u201cwonders\u201d or treats the underlying condition and is responsible for the effectiveness of the medicine. The carrier<\/strong> is an inactive molecule that holds the medication together in pill form. The carrier plays an important role as well because it may determine how the medication is dissolved and absorbed.<\/p>\n

Both brand name and generic drugs contain the same active ingredient <\/strong>but the carrier is different<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In general, the brand name Cialis and generic version tadalafil work equally well.<\/strong> Typically, you would use the same dose of Cialis and tadalafil<\/strong> as they are the same medication. Practically speaking, the brand name and generic version work identically well in about 95 percent of men, provided the generic tadalafil is obtained from an FDA-approved manufacturer and contains the same amount of active ingredient as the brand name.<\/p>\n

In a small number of men<\/strong>, brand name Cialis works better than generic tadalafil or vice versa. This difference in efficacy between brand name and generic is likely related to the inactive ingredient or carrier used in the two forms of the medication. Some men may not dissolve the carrier used in the generic form as quickly<\/strong>, resulting in impaired absorption and poor effectiveness. Other men may have side effects, such as gastrointestinal discomfort<\/strong>, from the carrier used in generic tadalafil, for example, but not from the carrier used in brand name Cialis.<\/p>\n

Generic tadalafil obtained from sources that are not entirely legitimate may be either contaminated or have a lower or higher amount of the active ingredient than the label indicates. This may result in a different side effect profile<\/strong> and variable effectiveness. For example, if a pill is supposed to have 5 mg of tadalafil but actually has 15 mg of the active ingredient, you may experience more side effects than what you would experience with the brand name Cialis 5 mg.<\/p>\n

How Effective are Cialis and Tadalafil?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cialis and its generic equivalent tadalafil are very effective in treating men with impotence<\/strong><\/a> who have difficulty obtaining and maintaining hard erections. It is also helpful in men who have urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate. Cialis works well for more than 85 percent of men<\/strong><\/a>. It is effective for men who have erection problems related to psychological issues such as performance anxiety. It also works similarly well in men who have vascular problems and impaired blood flow to the penis<\/a><\/strong> related to conditions such as high cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.<\/p>\n
