Cialis is a drug manufactured by Lilly Laboratories that aims to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men.
It starts working in about 30 minutes and can last for a period of 36 hours. You should take one pill with a glass of water.
It is a popular treatment that has existed for over ten years and has already been tested and approved by thousands of men worldwide. However, be careful when looking to buy Cialis online, as there are numerous counterfeit versions available that can cause risks to your health.
In addition, a lot of sites online claim to sell cheap generic Cialis online, which you must beware of. Here are a few tips to order your treatment safely.
An online consultation is mandatory
Table of Contents
Most fraudulent online pharmacies selling fake Cialis do not offer their patients a medical consultation.
To be prescribed the real drug manufactured by Lilly laboratories, you will have to answer several questions about your health: such as your age, your weight, your height, if you have any medical history, the nature of your erectile dysfunction, if you have a penile deformity, allergy, hypertension, renal or hepatic impairment, or even heart problems.
Once the doctor has reviewed your answers, he may or may not decide to write a prescription, which he will then send to the pharmacy.
Verify the website’s reliability
Similarly, if you notice that the website is badly written or even incomprehensible, back away. These are often sites from outside the European Union that use automatic translators to promote their fake products. In addition, if there is no proof of its legal status or a clear, precise phone number, it is better to avoid ordering their medication as it is likely to be fake.
Check the pharmacy’s status to avoid buying counterfeit drugs
You must also check whether the pharmacy is saved and listed by the health authorities in the country in which it is located, in order to tell whether or not you are buying trustworthy drugs. There should be a small logo on the website that tells you of the exact location where the pharmacy is situated, including the address and reference number. You can then see whether or not the pharmacy is located within the European Union, which considerably reduces the risk of obtaining a fake drug.
Is it possible to buy cheap Cialis?
The answer is no. This is because the price is a good indicator of whether or not the treatment is fake. It takes time for drug laboratories to produce and develop a drug as they need to conduct numerous tests and clinical trials before they can sell it. This takes time and a lot of human and material resources. In addition, the treatment’s chain of production and distribution is also costly, which must be factored into the price of Cialis.
Learn about the pharmaceutical company
There are other precautions that can help you to avoid ordering the wrong version of Cialis. The company that markets the drug is Eli Lilly, which has existed for over 130 years. You should search for their logo on the box and make sure it is there. You can also find more information about the company online, by checking out their website or Wikipedia page.

Finally, Cialis is only available in 10mg, 20mg and daily dose.
Is there a generic Cialis?
The patent for Cialis has not yet fallen into public domain, for now, which means there is no generic version.
A generic drug is a drug that is defined comparable to a brand name drug (in its dosage, effectiveness, characteristics, quality and performance). The term generic also refers to the drug being sold under its chemical name, without advertising. It might also be sold under its chemical composition instead of the brand name that the drug is usually sold under.
When generic products become available, the competition on the market often leads to lower prices for both the original brand name drug and its generic forms. The time it takes for a generic drug to appear on the market varies. In most countries, patents are protected for 20 years. However, in many countries in the European Union and the United States, patent extensions may be granted for up to 5 years for medicines (“patent term restoration”) if the laboratories reach specific goals, such as conducting clinical studies in paediatric patients.
In summary, when you want to purchase Cialis online, you should check the things described above in order to avoid buying counterfeit or poor-quality generic drugs, and thus reduce any risk to your health.
