What Is the Starting Dosage for Cialis?

The popular prescription medications used to treat erectile dysfunction, Cialis, Viagra, and Levitra, belong to a class of drugs called PDE-5 inhibitors. That said, the effective dosages from one PDE-5 inhibitor to another can vary significantly. Never assume, for example, that because you take 25 mg of Viagra, that 25 mg of Cialis is the right dosage (particularly since Cialis isn’t available in that dosage).

The different brands of prescription drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction are similar, but not identical in formulation.

A physician is the right person to determine what your starting dosage should be with any PDE-5 inhibitor, and this decision is based on your physical health, how long you have had problems with erectile dysfunction, your lifestyle, and whether you have contributing health factors like obesity or diabetes. Here are some frequently asked questions about Cialis dosages.

My experience with Viagra was less than great. Why should I bother trying another PDE-5 inhibitor to treat erectile dysfunction?

PDE-5 inhibitors are similar, but far from identical. Sometimes trial and error is necessary to determine which one works best for you. Just because you didn’t get great results with Viagra doesn’t mean other PDE-5 inhibitors won’t work for you. Slight differences in formulation can sometimes make all the difference due to your unique physiology. Don’t give up just because one PDE-5 inhibitor didn’t work as expected. Another one may be just right for you.
