Check with a pharmacist before considering it, and verify a seller's registration before buying. A seller who is vague about licensing status is worth a direct question to the seller.

About Cialis Soft
Cialis Soft is not a licensed medicine in the United Kingdom and cannot legally be sold there as a medicine. The product is marketed in connection with tadalafil, but its contents, quality and performance have not been independently verified. A doctor or pharmacist can discuss licensed tadalafil and whether it is suitable.
Claimed strengths are manufacturer claims, but no strength is listed for Cialis Soft. No dosing schedule is established for this unlicensed product.
The absence of a listed strength means the amount of tadalafil, if present, cannot be confirmed from the product information. A doctor or pharmacist can explain the strength and directions for a licensed tadalafil medicine.
What Cialis Soft is used for
Cialis Soft is marketed as a product intended to help with erectile dysfunction, which is difficulty getting or keeping an erection suitable for sexual activity. This is a marketing claim, not proof that the product works or is suitable for any individual.
Erectile difficulties can have physical, emotional or medicine-related causes. A doctor or pharmacist can assess possible causes and discuss licensed treatment options, including tadalafil.
How Cialis Soft works
Tadalafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type five inhibitors. In general, these medicines help widen blood vessels in the penis when sexual stimulation is present. This can increase blood flow and support an erection.
They do not usually create sexual desire and do not cause an erection without sexual stimulation. The effect can be affected by health conditions and other medicines, so individual advice from a doctor or pharmacist is needed.
Main interactions
- Nitrate medicines used for chest pain can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure with tadalafil-type medicines.
- Riociguat can have an additive blood-pressure-lowering effect.
- Some medicines for high blood pressure or an enlarged prostate can increase dizziness or low blood pressure.
- Certain medicines that affect liver enzymes can change tadalafil levels in the body.
- Large amounts of alcohol may increase dizziness and make it harder to maintain an erection.
Key warnings
- Cialis Soft is not a licensed medicine in the United Kingdom and cannot legally be sold there as a medicine.
- The product has not had independent verification of its contents, quality or performance.
- Tadalafil-type medicines can lower blood pressure and may cause dizziness, headache, flushing or indigestion.
- They may be unsuitable for people with some heart or blood-pressure conditions.
- Seek urgent medical help for chest pain, sudden changes in vision or hearing, or a prolonged or painful erection.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Tadalafil-type medicines are not intended for use during pregnancy. There is limited reason for use in this setting, and safety information for pregnancy and breastfeeding may be limited.
The marketing material does not specify pregnancy data for Cialis Soft. Discuss use during pregnancy or lactation with a doctor or pharmacist.
Missed dose
Missed-dose advice depends on the prescribed tadalafil regimen. Tadalafil should not be used more often or in larger amounts than directed by a prescriber. A missed dose should not be replaced by taking extra medicine.
The product information does not establish a dosing schedule for Cialis Soft. A pharmacist or doctor can provide advice for a licensed medicine.
Storage
No storage conditions are listed for Cialis Soft. To maintain quality, keep the product in its original packaging, away from heat, moisture and direct light, and out of the reach of children. Follow any storage directions on the product label and ask a pharmacist if the packaging is damaged.
