Get Generic Cialis in Canada — What You Need to Know

Erectile dysfunction is a bit like family drama or wordle addiction: everyone has it, but no one wants to talk about it.

Okay, not everyone. But it is definitely common: ED affects millions of Canadian men. Studies estimate that about half of the guys over 40 experience ED. And while ED is typically associated with aging, lots of younger guys experience it, too—it affects about a quarter of men under 40.

Luckily, there are many types of ED medication that have proved to be effective. One of the most effective is tadalafil, better known by its brand name Cialis. This ED drug is the reason lots of Canadian guys have managed to beat back ED and enjoy a satisfying sex life.

So is tadalafil right for you? And can you get generic Cialis online from Canada? In this article, we answer all the most common questions we hear about this prescription drug. We explain exactly what it is, how to get a prescription for tadalafil, and how to buy it in Canada.

What are tadalafil and Cialis?

Let’s start with the basics. Before knowing whether tadalafil or Cialis can help you, you have to understand how it works.

What they do

Tadalafil is a prescription erectile dysfunction medication approved by Health Canada. It’s a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5 inhibitor), which means that its primary mechanism of action is to inhibit an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5. Cialis is the brand name version of tadalafil—they’re the same thing, Cialis is just a lot more expensive.

How do they work? The biology is a little complex, but the ultimate result is that tadalafil causes blood vessels in the penis to dilate, which increases blood flow and makes it easier for you to achieve an erection during sexual activity. Remember that tadalafil only causes an erection in the context of sexual stimulation—it doesn’t simply cause an erection by itself.

Tadalafil is occasionally also used to treat other conditions besides ED. For example, you might be prescribed tadalafil if you have benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate) or pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). In this article, we’re purely talking about its use as an ED medication.

Doses and method of administration

When used as an oral medication for ED, tadalafil is usually prescribed on an as-needed basis. This means you would take a single Cialis tablet of 10 mg or 20 mg about 30 to 60 minutes before you expect to have a sexual encounter. One tablet lasts for 24 to 36 hours.

More recently, tadalafil has also been approved to take as a daily medication. Daily tadalafil is also taken as an oral medication, but at a smaller dose — usually 2.5 mg or 5 mg. With this method, you take the medication once per day at the same time. It lasts as long as you continue to take the medication.

Tadalafil is recognized as safe and effective for most men. But there can be side effects. Consult a medical professional to ensure that it’s safe for you and likely to be effective given your set of symptoms.

How to get Cialis in Canada?

Both Cialis and generic tadalafil are prescription medications. To obtain any ED medication in Canada, follow these steps:

1. Consult a qualified medical professional. A doctor or other qualified professional can help assess whether tadalafil is a good choice and safe for you. This is the first step in getting a prescription.
2. Describe your symptoms. Explain your symptoms in detail. Ensure you also include what other medications you’re taking, health issues, and allergies, so that your medical professional can understand the whole picture. Answer all questions with as much detail as possible.
3. Consider the medical advice. Your doctor will provide some options for treatment. One of those options may be tadalafil, although you may also be encouraged to consider an alternative to tadalafil like sildenafil (generic viagra). Usually, you’ll have an opportunity to express your preferences for medication if you have one.
4. Buy your ED medication. Finally, you’ll have an opportunity to purchase your meds from a licensed Canadian pharmacy. If you use Essential Clinic’s service to get your prescription, we can facilitate your order through our partner online pharmacy and deliver your medications straight to your door.

How to get a Cialis prescription from your doctor

Getting a prescription is often the most difficult part in treating ED. One of the challenges with treating ED is that men are often embarrassed to talk about it. That means many guys don’t talk to their doctor, don’t get a prescription, and don’t resolve their ED.

To get a prescription from your doctor, you can schedule an appointment and have a conversation about your symptoms.

But for many men, a more convenient approach is to use an online men’s health clinic like Essential clinic. Our medical professionals are experts in erectile dysfunction, so they know how uncomfortable it is to talk about. You don’t have to feel embarrassed with them.

Plus, if you’re approved, you can get your order sent directly to your door without an awkward visit to a licensed pharmacy.

Can you buy Cialis online?

Yes, once you have your prescription you can buy Cialis or generic tadalafil online.

Note: All prescription medications in Canada must be purchased through a licensed pharmacy. Essential Clinic does not sell ED medications; instead, we provide a prescription (when appropriate) and work with our partner pharmacy to facilitate your order. Then we send it straight to your door.

Do you need a prescription for tadalafil?

Yes, you must have a prescription to buy tadalafil and Cialis in Canada. There are good reasons for this.

First, there are important safety considerations. Tadalafil has an effect on the cardiovascular system, so people with heart problems like chest pain or a history of heart attacks need to be careful with this medication. People taking nitroglycerine and other heart medications should be especially careful because together they can create a drug interaction and cause dangerously low blood pressure.

Second, a medical professional can give you the right dose for your needs. Getting the dose right can help you avoid side effects.

Third, ED is sometimes a signal that there is something else wrong in the body. It can be a bit of a canary in a coal mine—it suggests something bigger might be going on. A medical professional can help identify any underlying health issues that could be causing ED.

So, do you have to have a prescription for tadalafil in Canada? Absolutely, yes.

Can you get Cialis without a doctor’s prescription in Canada?

Medications that you buy without prescriptions are sometimes called “over the counter” drugs. So can you buy over-the-counter Cialis?

No. But lots of people ask this question, so it’s worth being clear:

• Can you buy tadalafil over the counter in Canada? No, as we’ve explained, you must have a prescription.
• Can you buy Cialis over the counter in the USA? No. Like Canada, you must have a prescription to buy Cialis in the US.

Why is tadalafil not over the counter?

Again, it’s about safety. The prescription helps make sure that a medical professional is guiding your use of the medication. That helps avoid complications from people that take it inappropriately and helps avoid adverse side effects.

Can you get Cialis without going to the doctor?

Yes. You need a prescription, but that doesn’t mean you have to physically go to the doctor.

Essential Clinic offers online consultations with licensed health professionals who may provide prescriptions for tadalafil. So you can get a prescription online without leaving your house. Once you have your prescription, you can order tadalafil online.
