FDA approves Eli Lilly’s Cialis for erectile dysfunction treatment

The FDA has approved Eli Lilly and Company's oral medication Cialis, 2.5mg and 5mg, for once-daily use to treat erectile dysfunction.

The company said that when Cialis (tadalafil) for once-daily use is taken daily, men can attempt sexual activity at anytime between doses. Currently available in parts of Europe, this low-dose daily treatment option of Cialis may be most appropriate for men with erectile dysfunction who anticipate more frequent sexual activity (e.g. twice weekly). In clinical trials, when taken without restrictions on the timing of sexual activity, Cialis for once-daily use improved erectile function over the course of therapy.

Shawn Heffern, Cialis US director of brand marketing at Lilly, said: “We strive to provide patients with solutions that fit their needs and Cialis for once-daily use delivers on this promise. Now, patients have two options, some may prefer the up to 36 hours of efficacy provided by Cialis for use as needed while others may want the unique benefit provided by this daily dosing option.”
