Cialis is primarily used in two ways, and the best dosage strategy depends on the method chosen by your doctor.
**On-Demand Dosage:** If you are using 10mg or 20mg tablets, it is usually taken before planned sexual activity. The medication takes effect within 30 minutes to 12 hours after administration, but peak blood concentration is typically reached about 2 hours later, potentially resulting in better efficacy. A significant advantage is that the effects can last up to 36 hours, allowing for more flexibility and natural timing in intimacy.
**Once-Day Dosage:** If you are using low-dose tablets (2.5mg or 5mg), you need to take it once daily at approximately the same time. This method aims to maintain a stable drug concentration in the body, enabling you to respond readily to sexual stimulation. It is particularly suitable for men with high sexual frequency (e.g., twice a week or more). It usually takes about 5 consecutive days for the drug concentration to stabilize and for sustained effects to be achieved.
