Are there side effects with Cialis daily compared to as-needed dosing?

Some men find side effects less bothersome with daily dosing than traditional Cialis therapy.

There can be. Cialis taken on an as-needed basis can result in side effects that are usually mild, but might be annoying, such as indigestion and headache. By taking the drug at a lower dosage on a regular schedule, side effects, if there are any, are more likely to fade out over time. This can be another factor in nudging a man toward choosing Cialis daily over traditional as-needed therapy. If you take Cialis and find the side effects bothersome, but are otherwise happy with it, then daily dosing may be worth a try.

Is this a treatment breakthrough or a marketing ploy?

Treatment of erectile dysfunction is a multi-billion dollar per year industry. It only stands to reason that the companies that make prescription erectile dysfunction medications want to maximize their revenues. So you could look at daily Cialis therapy as a way for Lilly ICOS (the manufacturer of Cialis) to tap another revenue stream.

Then again, there are men who truly find daily dosing to be better in terms of sexual spontaneity, convenience, and curbing of side effects. Marketing ploy or not, daily Cialis is the preferred choice for some men.
