Coming to terms with erectile dysfunction (ED) and how to treat it can be daunting enough. The last thing you want to worry about in this situation is how to afford your ED medication. Fortunately, you can save significantly on leading ED drug Cialis by ordering from a Canadian pharmacy.

In this guide, we’ll recap why Cialis is the preferred option for many men dealing with ED, plus walk you through the steps for finding a reputable Canadian pharmacy for your next Cialis order.

Quick Takeaways:

  • Cialis is a popular prescription drug for treating erectile dysfunction. It’s known for its extended effectiveness—up to 36 hours for the traditional dosage, and continuous for Cialis daily.
  • Most health insurance companies do not cover Cialis and other ED medications.
  • The average retail cost of Cialis in the United States can reach up to $400+ for one prescription.
  • Canadian pharmacies are a safe, legal, affordable alternative for accessing Cialis.
  • All reputable Canadian pharmacies require a Cialis prescription from a licensed U.S. healthcare provider.

What is Cialis?

Cialis (also known by its active ingredient, tadalafil) is a medication primarily used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). It belongs to a drug class known as PDE5 inhibitors, which work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide to relax the muscles in the penis. This relaxation then allows for increased blood flow, facilitating an erection in response to sexual stimulation.

Apart from its primary use in treating ED, Cialis is also prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate, and sometimes for pulmonary arterial hypertension.

The versatility of Cialis, combined with its prolonged duration of action—it can remain effective for up to 36 hours—makes it a popular and convenient treatment choice for men dealing with ED. Cialis also offers a low-dose daily pill, which provides continuous effectiveness. This allows for more spontaneity than other ED treatments, eliminating the need to plan out the timing of romantic encounters based on when the medication is taken.

Why Choose a Canadian Pharmacy to Order Cialis?

Many insurance providers don’t consider erectile dysfunction medications like Cialis to be medically necessary. As a result, they often don’t cover its cost even when patients have a prescription. Couple this with the extremely high retail price of Cialis in the U.S., and it’s difficult or impossible to afford for many patients who need it.

Even with coupons, the average retail cost of a Cialis prescription is well over $300. Without coupons, it jumps to $400+.

Canadian pharmacies offer a significantly more affordable option for ordering Cialis. In general, Canada is not subject to the same pharmaceutical landscape that drives drug prices so high in the U.S. Instead, the price of medications is more heavily regulated and thus kept lower for consumers, increasing accessibility and ensuring cost is not a barrier to treatment.

In addition to cost-effectiveness, Canadian pharmacies have a reputation for high quality and reliability. They’re subject to stringent regulatory standards, ensuring that the medications they dispense are safe, effective, and meet the necessary quality benchmarks.

For U.S. residents facing high medication costs or those without comprehensive insurance coverage, Canadian pharmacies represent a viable alternative, especially medications like Cialis which are priced so expensively on the retail market.

Finally (and not least significantly) is the added privacy offered by mail-order pharmacies in Canada. By having your ED medication delivered to your home, you don’t have to stress about discussing it in public settings (like a brick-and-mortar pharmacy).

Steps to Order Cialis from a Canadian Pharmacy

Ordering Cialis from a Canadian pharmacy involves a few straightforward steps to ensure you are dealing with a reputable source:

1. Research for Credible Pharmacies

Start by looking for pharmacies accredited by the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA). CIPA-certified pharmacies meet high safety and ethical standards. Check the pharmacy’s licensing status and confirm they have a licensed pharmacist available to answer questions.

Make sure the pharmacy's website is secure, especially for payment transactions. Look for HTTPS in the URL, encryption capabilities, and other security measures.

2. Confirm the Pharmacy Stocks Your Medication

Ensure the pharmacy stocks Cialis (and any other medications you need), and inquire about the available dosages and pricing. Compare prices with other reputable pharmacies for the best deal.

3. Place Your Order

Once you’re satisfied with the pharmacy’s credibility, place your order. This typically involves filling out a form (like the one on My Drug Center’s ordering page) and providing your prescription. Pharmacies that don’t require prescriptions are disreputable and should be avoided. If you live in the United States, your prescription must be from a licensed U.S. healthcare provider.

4. Confirm Delivery Timing and Tracking

In most cases, your prescription will take a few weeks to arrive and should be ordered in advance. Talk to the pharmacy’s customer service team to confirm the delivery timeline and obtain tracking information.
