Common Questions about Adcirca

Is Adcirca the same as Cialis?

Adcirca and Cialis contain the same active ingredient, tadalafil, and both are made by Eli Lilly. But they are prescribed for different purposes and dosed differently.

How quickly does Adcirca improve exercise ability?

Clinical studies have shown that Adcirca can improve exercise capacity in 16 weeks (4 months) in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) increased by 33 meters or 108 feet in patients taking Adcirca compared to patients taking a placebo (an inactive substance).

Can I take Adcirca with medicines for high blood pressure?

Adcirca can cause low blood pressure, which can add to the blood pressure-lowering effects of antihypertensive drugs (medicines prescribed for high blood pressure).

Tell your provider if you develop low blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting.
