Are there generic alternatives to Cialis?

In the United States and Europe, Cialis loses patent protection later in 2017. Which is ultimately good news, but doesn’t help much in the meantime. Lilly ICOS has been aggressively advertising Cialis in the lead-up to loss of patent protection. Additionally, the company has hiked prices in hopes of capturing the most earnings before generics enter the market.

In fact, brand name erectile dysfunction drugs in general have increased in price. You can expect to pay around $30 to $40 per pill, and since most health insurance drug coverage doesn’t include erectile dysfunction drugs, you will probably be paying for it out of pocket.

Be that as it may, what you don’t want to do is buy a generic off the internet. These generics are almost always of unknown provenance, and are quite likely to be fake. If they do contain the active ingredients in the name brand drugs, which is a big if, there’s no way of knowing how much of it they contain. Generic price relief is coming, but the only way to be safe until then is to only buy genuine Cialis with batch and lot numbers that you can trace to the manufacturer.

At the end of the day, getting the best results with Cialis means talking to a health professional and determining which dosage is right for you, and which therapy method (daily, or as-needed) is best for your situation. Cialis is a blockbuster drug for a reason. Millions of men have taken it safely and enjoyed its benefits. Compare its characteristics with your other options for treating erectile dysfunction, and you’re sure to make a wise choice to address your sexual health.
