What is Cialis, and how does it work?
Cialis, known generically as tadalafil, is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by by inhibiting the PDE‑5 enzyme to relax blood vessels in the penis and prostate, which improves blood flow and helps achieve and maintain an erection when you’re sexually stimulated. A long-lasting PDE‑5 inhibitor, Cialis can remain effective for up to 36 hours.
Who may benefit from Cialis?
Men with erectile dysfunction, whether occasional or more persistent, are the most common people who may benefit. It’s also FDA-approved for benign prostatic hyperplasia in men experiencing urinary symptoms. Because Cialis has a long duration, it’s popular for those seeking more spontaneity compared to other ED meds like Viagra.
Does Cialis have to be prescribed by a doctor?
In the United States, Cialis is a prescription medication that must be authorized by a licensed healthcare provider. Before it can be prescribed, a clinician, such as a doctor (MD or DO), nurse practitioner (NP), or physician assistant (PA), needs to evaluate your overall health, review your medical history, and check for any medications or conditions that could increase the risk of serious side effects. Because of its potential interactions, especially with heart or blood pressure medications, Cialis is not legally available without a valid prescription.

What if my provider refuses to give me a Cialis prescription
If your provider decides not to prescribe Cialis, it’s often because they believe it may not be safe or effective for your specific health situation. In these cases, they may suggest alternatives like Levitra (vardenafil) or Stendra (avanafil), which work similarly but may have different side effect profiles or drug interactions. Your provider might also focus on identifying and treating underlying causes of erectile dysfunction, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or low testosterone.
Your provider might also recommend lifestyle changes, like weight loss, increased physical activity, or reduced alcohol use, or order further testing to rule out hormonal or vascular issues. If you’re unsure about their decision, you’re always entitled to seek a second opinion from another licensed healthcare provider.
