Active Ingredient & Dosage: What’s the Key Distinction?

Both Cialis and Cialis Professional contain tadalafil as their active ingredient. The key difference lies in the dosage and absorption rate.

Cialis: Standard Dosage

Cialis typically comes in dosages of 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. These tablets are designed for once-daily or as-needed use, depending on your doctor’s prescription. Absorption is slower compared to Cialis Professional.

Cialis Professional: Higher Potency

Cialis Professional contains the same tadalafil but often in higher concentrations, usually 20mg. This formulation is designed for faster absorption, leading to a quicker onset of effects. It’s usually taken as needed.
