Sublingual Cialis is utilized to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Sublingual Cialis functions like Adcirca, an oral inhibitor that improves exercise capacity. Sublingual Cialis helps in increasing blood flow to the penis.
When a man is stimulated sexually, the drug promotes erection. According to the Department of Surgery of the University of North Carolina (1), tadalafil, which is sold under the brand name Cialis, increases the success rate of intercourse attempts.
Based on several studies, tadalafil, taken sublingually(2), is effective in treating mild-to-severe erectile dysfunction. Below are more key points about this drug.

Cialis Sublingual Medical Uses
In general, Cialis is prescribed for ED, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is taken sublingually or by mouth. Onset is half an hour or more.
Erectile Dysfunction
FDA approved the intake of Cialis once per day. Cialis is for sale in 20 mg, 10 mg, and 2.5 mg tablets or pills.
Often, the prices of 2.5 mg and 5 mg tablets are similar. Some people split a 20 mg pill.
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
BPH, which is also referred to as prostate gland enlargement, is a common health issue in older men. An enlarged prostate causes kidney problems and difficulty urinating.
Intake of 10 mg Cialis once per day is FDA-approved. This can prevent and treat the symptoms of BPH like incontinence, dribbling, weak stream, hesitancy, and urinary urgency.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
When you have this disease, you have high blood pressure in your arteries. It is different from regular hypertension. The latter hardens your arteries.
With pulmonary arterial hypertension, the arteries going from your heart to your lungs become blocked or narrow.
In Japan, Canada, and the United States, taking 40 mg Cialis once per day for treating PAH is approved. It improves the exercise capacity of PAH patients.
As a result of vascular remodeling and vasoconstriction, pulmonary vasculature is decreased. This increases pulmonary vascular resistance and artery pressure.
Cialis prevents vascular remodeling and causes artery vasodilation.
Artery vasolidation decreases blood pressure and dilates blood vessels. Cialis promotes the widening of pulmonary arteries.
Cialis Sublingual Absorption
Cialis should be taken alone. The presence of other medications can decrease serum levels and shorten the half-life of the drug.
During sexual arousal, a penile erection occurs due to the increased blood flow to the penis. This results from the relaxation of the corpus cavernosum, the erectile tissue forming the bulk of the penis and penile arteries.
In women, the clitoris is predominantly made of the said erectile tissue.
Nitric oxide, released by endothelial cells and nerve terminals, triggers an erection. This response stimulates the synthesis of cyclic GMP. cGMP increases blood flow to erectile tissues.
By increasing the levels of cGMP in the blood, the production of PDE5 is inhibited. In turn, erectile function is improved. Cialis inhibits phosphodiesterase type 5.
Sublingual Cialis Side Effects
The common side effects of tadalafil are the following:
- Nausea
- Muscle pain
- Flushed skin
- Headache
- Runny nose
- Indigestion
- Vision problems
- Jaw pain
- Numbness
- Tingling sensation in the neck, chest, or arms
A sublingual Cialis pill or tablet should be placed under the tongue. Sublingual Cialis is absorbed into the bloodstream from the mucus membrane of the mouth. Sublingual Cialis is a PDE5 inhibitor.
