Walmart is hands-down the largest retailer in the United States, and it consistently ranks in the top three largest retail pharmacies alongside CVS and Walgreens. It’s well known for offering substantial savings on prescription drug costs, and its prices for Cialis and tadalafil reflect that philosophy.

---

Walmart’s price for Cialis 20 milligrams has generally been on par with other conventional pharmacies and retailers. This month, it’s $59.71 per pill. Their price for the 20 milligram generic is $1.26 per pill. 

For 10 milligram Cialis, Walmart is charging $29.86, while 10 milligram generic Tadalafil is available for 63 cents.

While Walmart’s prices are the lowest of the three major pharmacy retailers by sales volume — along with CVS and Walgreens — their prices for brand-name Cialis and generic tadalafil are no longer among the lowest overall, with several major retailers pricing both Cialis and tadalafil lower than Walmart.

For savvy customers looking for top-tier service, ordering erectile dysfunction medications like Cialis online from eDrugstore is still the best way to stay safe and save with the convenience of discreet, free shipping right to your doorstep.

About Cialis and Tadalafil

Cialis is a brand name for tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor that relaxes smooth muscles, thereby increasing the Blood flow to the penis and facilitating erections. 

Cialis’ effects last longer than Viagra’s. Tadalafil supports erections for up to 36 hours, while sildenafil, the active compound in Viagra, boosts erectile function for four to six hours. 

The longer effectiveness of Cialis comes at a price. Men who want to be ready for 36 hours have to be ready to pay more for the privilege. Both compounds may cause side effects like light-headedness, nasal congestion, and headaches. Given that its effects last longer, Cialis’ side effects may last longer as well. 

Doctors advise their patients to take one Cialis or generic tadalafil pill per day orally, with or without food. 

Indications: What Cialis and Tadalafil are Used For

Tadalafil’s primary use as Cialis is to treat erectile dysfunction. It can also alleviate the symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), making it easier for sufferers to urinate and empty their bladders. 

Under different brand names, tadalafil also treats the symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), allowing patients to overcome dizziness, tiredness, and shortness of breath. By relaxing the smooth muscles, tadalafil relieves high blood pressure in the arteries carrying blood to the lungs. 

How do PDE-5 Inhibitors Work?

PDE-5s are enzymes in the blood vessel walls that control blood flow and cell signaling in the body. Specifically, they control the breakdown of the nucleotides cAMP and cGMP into their inactive versions. These nucleotides are like messengers in intercellular communication. 

The role of PDE-5s is essential, and they are present in tissues all over the body. But sometimes, their activity may result in unwanted side effects like erectile dysfunction and high blood pressure.   

PDE-5 inhibitors counter the action of these enzymes. By blocking PDE-5, these compounds relax blood vessels and increase blood flow. 

In addition to treating erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension, PDE-5 inhibitors can lower blood pressure and may help with cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Contraindications: Who Should Not Take Cialis and Tadalafil

Patients who take nitroglycerin tablets or use patches should not take Cialis or generic tadalafil. Nitrates combine with tadalafil to cause extreme drops in blood pressure. In some cases, extremely low blood pressure can be fatal. 

Men with heart muscle enlargement or a condition known as left ventricular outlet obstruction should not take tadalafil. In their case, the medication may cause side effects, including light-headedness and fainting. 

Don’t use Cialis or tadalafil if you suffer from any of the following conditions: 

• Recent stroke or heart attack
• Heart failure
• Heart pains
• Irregular heartbeat
• Problems with your retina
• Severe liver disease 

According to the FDA, no one has studied tadalafil’s effects on these conditions. 

In rare cases, tadalafil and other PDE-5 inhibitors may cause a prolonged erection (priapism). Priapism is a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention. If you have an erection that lasts more than four hours, seek medical assistance immediately. 

Cialis and Tadalafil Risks and Side Effects

When your doctor prescribes tadalafil, he or she does so considering that the benefits of the drug outweigh the risk of potential side effects. 

Some common side effects of tadalafil are: 

• Dizziness
• Flushing
• Stuffy nose
• Back pain
• Headache
• Upset stomach
• Fainting
• Light-headedness
• Nausea 

Some of the more extreme but rare side effects include: 

• Impaired vision
• Permanent blindness in one or both eyes
• Impaired hearing
• Priapism (prolonged and painful erection)
• Allergic reactions like a rash, trouble breathing, swelling of the tongue or throat 

Although these extreme side effects are rare, you should be aware that you are more likely to develop them if you have high cholesterol, heart disease, or high blood pressure. 

Special Considerations for Cialis and Tadalafil

The combination of tadalafil and nitrates can lead to extremely low blood pressure that may be fatal. 

Using Cialis with an alpha-blocker like tamsulosin can also lower blood pressure. 

Some antibiotics, antifungals like ketoconazole, HIV drugs like ritonavir, and hepatitis C drugs can affect the tadalafil’s elimination from the body and thus its effects.
