Looking for a versatile medication to improve your sexual health and overall wellness?
Many Canadian men are turning to daily use of Cialis (2.5-5mg) to enjoy a smoother, more spontaneous approach to sex without the pressure of timing it right. The most notable benefits of taking Cialis daily include long-term erection support and consistent erectile function through steady dosing.
Like the on-demand higher dose of Cialis (10-20mg), daily Cialis is Health Canada-approved to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and improve urinary symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Let’s walk you through the benefits of taking Cialis daily, proper dosage, and potential side effects, so you can decide whether it’s the right treatment for your needs.
Core Benefits of Taking Cialis Daily
Taking Cialis (tadalafil) daily at a dose of 2.5-5mg offers reliable performance and comfort by maintaining stable levels of tadalafil in the body.
Unlike the as-needed dose of Cialis (10-20mg), which has an onset time of 0.5 to 1 hour before sexual activity and a duration of effect of up to 36 hours, daily Cialis maintains consistent drug levels in your body regardless of timing. This allows for continuous availability for sexual activity and more freedom in your intimate life.
Enhanced Erectile Function
The daily dosage of Cialis supports continuous erection. Cialis helps you maintain erectile function without planning ahead by keeping stable blood flow to the penis every day. Over time, it leads to a reduction in ED symptoms, improves sexual satisfaction, and increases confidence during sex.
Increased Sexual Spontaneity
Forget the timer. Daily Cialis helps you be ready when the moment feels right. With improved spontaneity, there’s a reduced need for planning, making sex feel natural again. This reduces performance anxiety and allows for spontaneous erections whenever there’s sexual stimulation.
Note: Cialis does not make you bigger. Cialis improves blood flow to the penis, which helps maintain firmer erections. Because erections may be stronger, some men may feel or look bigger when erect, but Cialis does not increase penis size permanently.
Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Taking Cialis alleviates urinary symptoms in men with BPH, such as weak flow, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. It supports urinary tract health and relieves symptoms that can disrupt your day and your night. Men with both ED and BPH benefit from a dual-purpose treatment option.
Additional Health Benefits Beyond Erectile Function
Beyond treating erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia, research suggests there may be other potential benefits of tadalafil. However, much of this is ongoing and not yet confirmed, meaning these effects may or may not translate into proven clinical use.
Potential Cardiovascular Support
A large longitudinal study of over 500,000 men found that tadalafil use (the generic name of Cialis) was associated with significantly reduced risks of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular disease compared to non-users.
- Myocardial infarction (heart attack): Risk reduced by 27–33%
- Stroke: Risk reduced by 29–36%
- Venous thromboembolism (blood clots): Risk reduced by 20–30%
Tadalafil lasts up to 36 hours in your body and has a long half-life of 17.5 hours, providing sustained vasodilation and stable blood flow. This steady exposure may better support vascular health compared to shorter-acting PDE-5 inhibitors. However, these benefits are not listed in the Health Canada–approved Cialis product monograph.
*Cialis may have contraindications with cardiovascular-related conditions and medications. Talk to your doctor first before using Cialis if you have cardiovascular issues or are on heart medications.
Cognitive Function Enhancement
Vascular health is closely tied to brain health. In the same research, tadalafil users also had a lower risk of dementia (32–50% reduction). This may reflect improved small vessel function in the brain.
Preclinical studies also suggest that tadalafil may enhance learning and memory by increasing cGMP levels in the brain, thereby supporting synaptic plasticity and neuronal function. In animal models, tadalafil improved cognitive performance and reversed deficits through the NO–cGMP pathway.
However, more research is needed before this can be considered a proven benefit. As of the time of writing, these potential benefits are not listed in the Health Canada–approved Cialis product monograph, and there is no clinical evidence confirming such effects in humans yet.
Approval and Medical Guidelines for Daily Cialis Dosage
Cialis is approved for daily use in dosages of 2.5mg and 5mg. The frequency of dosing is once per day, taken at the same time each day to maintain steady drug levels.
Your healthcare provider will recommend the right pill strength and dosing guidelines based on your treatment response, existing health conditions, and any drug interactions you may be at risk for.
Considerations Before Starting Daily Cialis
Daily Cialis treatment is not for everyone. Consult your doctor or pharmacist first before taking Cialis to determine if it is the best option for you.
Appropriate Candidates for Daily Cialis
If you have frequent ED episodes, want long-term erection support, and enhance your intimacy experience every day, daily Cialis might be appropriate for you.
However, do not take Cialis if:
- You are using nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate/dinitrate, or recreational “poppers”).
- You’ve had an allergic reaction to tadalafil or any ingredients in Cialis.
- You’ve experienced NAION (sudden vision loss in one or both eyes).
- You are taking riociguat (Adempas®) for pulmonary hypertension.
*Cialis is not suitable for women and those who are under 18 years of age.
Potential Side Effects of Daily Cialis
Daily Cialis side effects can be mild to moderate in nature:
- Common: headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, nasal congestion, facial flushing
- Uncommon: swelling of eyelids, eye pain, red eyes, dizziness, allergic reaction
- Rare: prolonged erection, chest pain, vision loss, hearing loss, transient amnesia
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor. For rare side effects, stop taking the medication and call your doctor immediately.
Cialis Drug Interactions with the Body
Daily Cialis may have interactions with other medications that can affect its effectiveness:
- Nitrates
- Rifampin
- Ketoconazole or itraconazole
- Erythromycin
- Protease inhibitors (ritonavir, saquinavir)
- Other ED medications or PDE5 inhibitors (Adcirca®, Revatio®)
- Blood pressure medications
- Alpha-blockers (doxazosin)
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any medications (including over-the-counter drugs and natural health products) before starting Cialis.
Cost and Accessibility of Daily Cialis for Canadians
Cialis and generic tadalafil for daily use are widely available as a prescription drug in Canadian pharmacies.
- Daily Cialis: $6.43 per dose

Key Takeaways
- Daily Cialis (2.5–5 mg) provides long-term erection support, consistent erectile function, and can also relieve urinary symptoms from BPH.
- Research suggests possible additional benefits for cardiovascular and cognitive health, but these are not part of the Health Canada–approved indications and require more study.
- Cialis is prescription-only in Canada. Consult with your doctor to determine the right dosage, avoid unsafe interactions, and access affordable treatment options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical dosage of Cialis for daily use?
The typical daily Cialis dosage starts at 2.5mg. If you don’t see results, you may be prescribed the 5mg dosage based on response and tolerance. Always follow your prescriber’s guidance, and take it at the same time every day to maintain steady levels for optimal results.
How long does it take to see results with daily Cialis?
Some men notice improvement in erectile function within the first few days of daily Cialis treatment (2.5–5 mg), but full results are usually seen after 4-12 weeks of continuous use. For benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), symptom relief typically begins within the first week, with maximum improvement occurring around 12 weeks.
Are there any long-term risks associated with Cialis?
Long-term use of daily Cialis is generally safe. Some people may experience mild side effects, such as back pain, muscle aches, or changes in vision. Rarely, priapism (erection lasting for more than 4 hours) may occur. Keep in touch with your Canadian healthcare provider for regular monitoring.
Can I stop taking Cialis once I reach my desired results?
Don’t stop taking Cialis without checking with your doctor. ED or BPH symptoms may return. If you’re looking to stop, focus on lifestyle changes like regular exercise, weight loss, and drinking less alcohol to help maintain your results naturally.
