When Does Cialis Start Working?

Many men wonder, "How long do I have to wait for Cialis to work?" The time it takes for Cialis to work will vary depending on the individual. In clinical studies, Cialis began to work in as little as 30 minutes. For most people, though, it begins working within an hour. Cialis can work up to 36 hours after you take your dose.
 

Cialis: When and How Do I Take It?

Here are some general guidelines for when and how to take Cialis:
 
  • Cialis comes in tablet form. It is taken as needed, usually one hour before sexual activity. However, it is not recommended that you take Cialis more than once in a day.
     
  • It is recommended that you take your Cialis dose with a glass of water. You may take it with or without food.
     
  • Do not break, chew, or crush the Cialis tablets.
     
  • For Cialis to work properly, you have to take it as prescribed. Cialis will not work if you stop taking it.
     

Cialis: Dosage

The dose of Cialis your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • Other medical conditions you may have
  • Other medications you may be currently taking.
     
As always, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
