Treatment on your terms

Same ingredient as name brand, 90% less!
This generic form of Cialis® is made with the same active ingredient at 10% of the cost.
Inhibits PDE5
Tadalafil is an oral ED medication that works by suppressing an enzyme in the body called PDE5.
Increases blood flow
When PDE5 is suppressed, blood is able to flow more freely through the body—including to the (you guessed it) penis.
Gets you hard
More blood flow to the penis means harder, more satisfying erections once you’re sexually stimulated.
Daily
Daily tadalafil is taken once per day and comes in a low dose (2.5mg or 5mg dosage), which gradually builds up in your system. This means that you can be ready for sex at any time instead of waiting for a pill to kick in.
As-Needed
Take the as-needed (or “episodic”) dose of tadalafil when you want to be ready for the bedroom. Take this pill before you plan to have sex (for most men it reaches peak effect 2 hours after it’s taken) and be aware that its effects can last for up to 36 hours. It comes in a higher dose than daily-use tadalafil (5mg, 10mg or 20mg dosages) so it’s best to avoid using it on several consecutive days.
When tadalafil (the lowest price generic version of Cialis®) is taken as needed for ED, it can start working within 30-45 minutes, but reaches peak effect in most men 2 hours after it’s taken. Like other ED drugs that are taken as needed for ED, it must be taken in advance of when you plan to be sexually active to give it time to start working.
Tadalafil can also be taken at a lower prescribed dose at the same time every day. When taken in this way over time, you may find an increased ability to achieve an erection anytime you experience sexual stimulation. After beginning a daily regimen of tadalafil, you may be able to have successful intercourse in as early as 4 to 5 days.
One dose of tadalafil taken as needed for sexual activity can remain effective for up to 36 hours, however peak concentration of tadalafil in the bloodstream usually occurs between 30 minutes and 6 hours with a median time of 2 hours. Since the effectiveless of tadalafil lasts for a long time, it can be taken well in advance to allow for more spontaneous sexual activity over the course of a day or night.
No, you can’t. Tadalafil, Cialis® and other erectile dysfunction medications are only available with a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider in the United States. You might find websites that claim to offer Viagra® without a prescription, but these sellers are untrustworthy, and using the medications they offer can be dangerous. With Ro, you can always be sure you are getting genuine medication with active ingredients in the correct amount without harmful additives. Ro dispenses drugs manufactured by pharmaceutical companies that are regulated by the FDA. You will likely find many of the same manufacturers we use in your local pharmacy. With Ro, you never need to worry about what’s actually in the pills you are taking.
Tadalafil is the affordable, generic version of brand-name Cialis®. Cialis® was originally created and is produced by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, and generic tadalafil became available in 2018 after the patent protection ended. Both brand-name Cialis® and tadalafil have been shown to be safe and provide the same treatment effects for erectile dysfunction, but tadalafil is available for a fraction of the price of Cialis®.
While dosing for Viagra® and tadalafil are different, tadalafil does have one big advantage: it lasts longer than Viagra® (up to 36 hours rather than 4 to 5).
Typically, the 5 and 10 mg doses may be prescribed daily but not the 20 mg dose. In other words, there is a daily, low-dose option that is specifically meant to ensure you are ready for sex at the drop of a hat. This daily option is meant for long-term continuous use and a planning-free experience.
The most common side effects of generic for Cialis® include headaches, indigestion, heartburn, back pain, muscle aches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, cold symptoms, dizziness, vision changes, and blood pressure changes. Your medical provider can help you mitigate or treat these symptoms if you experience them.

Tadalafil is generally safe for most men with ED. However, men who have other health conditions should alert their doctor prior to starting any erectile dysfunction medication.
Some medical conditions and symptoms that may predispose someone to adverse effects from tadalafil include heart problems like heart failure or a previous heart attack, angina or chest pain, irregular heartbeats, high or low blood pressure, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare genetic eye disease), pulmonary hypertension, stroke, liver disease, kidney disease, severe vision loss, stomach ulcers, bleeding problems, deformed penis shape or Peyronie’s disease, experience with erections lasting more than 4 hours, or blood cell disorders like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia.
Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It comes in four doses, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg.The drug can be taken as needed in any of the four doses. The 2.5 mg and 5 mg doses are also approved for daily use for ED. Tadalafil in the 2.5 mg and 5 mg doses is also FDA-approved for men suffering from urinary symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with or without ED.
As you age, it is normal to see erectile function decrease. As a result, you may need more medication to see the same results. In some cases, erectile function may also worsen due to the progression of the underlying disease that is causing ED (e.g., diabetes, vascular disease).
Because ED may be caused by serious medical issues, you should connect with a primary care provider to assess any potential causes or disorders
Viagra does not diminish in efficacy over time (i.e., you don’t need more because your body gets “used to it”).
