Cialis typically starts working within 30 minutes, although it can take longer for some individuals. For optimal results, take it at least 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.
Factors Influencing Onset Time
Several factors can influence how quickly Cialis takes effect. These include your diet, your current health status, and the specific dose prescribed by your doctor. Alcohol and high-fat meals can delay absorption.
Peak Effectiveness and Duration
Cialis reaches its peak effectiveness between 2 and 4 hours after ingestion. The effects can last for up to 36 hours, significantly longer than other ED medications. This longer duration is a key difference.
