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. Adcirca is for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in men and women. Cialis is for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men.



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). Your doctor may ask you to check your blood pressure more frequently at home when you first start Adcirca if you are also on antihypertensive drugs. Tell your provider if you develop low blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting.



What is the difference between Adcirca, Tadliq, and Alyq?

Adcirca, Tadliq, and Alyq contain the same active ingredient, tadalafil, and are used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. Adcirca is the brand name form for the tablets, Tadliq is the oral suspension (liquid form), and Alyq is the generic form. They can be substituted for each other, dose for dose.



Can I take Adcirca for erectile dysfunction?

Do not take Adcirca for erectile dysfunction (ED). Although Adcirca contains tadalafil, the same active ingredient as the ED drug Cialis, they are dosed differently. You should not take Cialis or other similar medications, such as Viagra, if you are on Adcirca to treat PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension).
