About Cialis and Eli Lilly and Company
Cialis, also known as tadalafil, is a medication primarily used to treat symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating a stronger and longer-lasting erection during sexual activity.
Cialis is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, which means it blocks the action of PDE5, which is the enzyme responsible for breaking down a substance in the body called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Cyclic GMP is necessary for cGMP to travel to the cells of the penis and initiate an erection. By inhibiting PDE5, Cialis allows cGMP to accumulate in the body, leading to improved erectile function and a longer duration of sexual activity.
Cialis is not FDA-approved for use in the treatment of ED. Lilly ICOS has no plans to use Cialis in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Lilly ICOS and Lilly's patent on Cialis expired in November 2014.
The launch of Cialis has brought the Cialis tablets to the forefront of medical history.
Lilly ICOS has signed a licensing agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (LLC), the first company to successfully commercialize the product.
Lilly ICOS will be using a generic version of Cialis from ICOS to deliver its products in the US.
In addition to Lilly's Cialis and ICOS patent, ICOS and ICOS Cialis products have exclusive rights to launch in Europe and the rest of the world.
In addition to Cialis, ICOS and ICOS Cialis products also have exclusive rights to launch in Canada, the European Union, the Middle East and Africa, South-East Asia Pacific and China.

On 14 March 2023, the UK Medicines regulator approved an application to reclassify the erectile dysfunction medication Cialis. When marketed asCialis Together(tadalafil 10mg), it will be a ‘P’ (pharmacy) medication, and so available ‘over the counter’ in pharmacies – see. This follows the 2018, ‘P’ classification of (sildenafil 50mg) which has been available OTC, without a prescription, since then.
This decision is good news for men’s health …. Erectile dysfunction can be a debilitating condition, so it’s important men feel they have fast access to quality and legitimate care
Dr Laura Squire, MHRA’s Chief Officer for Healthcare, Quality and Access
Unfortunately, there is a strong black market in the UK for ED medicines, which are often unlicensed or counterfeit. UK Border Force and the MHRA seize millions of pounds of these fake products from criminals annually. This new classification of tadalafil 10mg will enable men who suffer from ED to obtain it safely from a local pharmacy.
Sanofi, the drug manufacturer, is expected to launch Cialis Together later in 2023. Cialis Together will be available to purchase in pharmacies without a prescription by men over 18 with erectile dysfunction. Cialis Together tablets will contain 10mg tadalafil and the maximum pack size will be 8 tablets. Other doses and pack sizes of Cialis and tadalafil will still be available on prescription through doctors and specially trained pharmacists. Before purchase in a pharmacy there must be an assessment with a pharmacist, who will check that Cialis Together is appropriate and safe, or whether consultation with a GP is necessary.
Men suffering with ED will have another treatment option with the convenience of purchasing it in their local pharmacy, including pharmacies found inside supermarkets (eg. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s). The pharmacist will ask some health questions, may check blood pressure, and will advise on treatment with Cialis Together or Viagra Connect, or the need to consult a GP. Pharmacies usually have a private room for such discussions.
Cialis Together is a 10mg tadalafil product for use at least 30 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity. Its effects can last. It is not recommended for daily use. The maximum recommended dose of Cialis Together will be one tablet in 24 hours. Prescription Cialis and tadalafil will still be available at different doses.
Dr Fox welcomes the wider access to ED medication for men that Cialis Together classified as a ‘P’ OTC medication will provide. We at Dr Fox are aware of the difficulties men have in discussing ED with their GPs and in accessing ED medication. We know that Cialis is effective and safe for most men and this change provides another option for obtaining ED treatment. Pharmacists are health professionals who are able to give ED advice but they will also know when to refer men who would benefit from a doctor’s assessment. ‘P’ medicines can also be supplied on prescription, and we will offer Cialis Together, when available, alongside our other competitively priced ED products.

Whether you can take Tadalafil at the same time as your other medications will depend on which medications you are taking.
