Cialis Daily when planning pregnancy
For couples trying to conceive, every chronic medication deserves a careful pre-pregnancy review. Cialis Daily (Tadalafil) at 2.5mg, 5mg may need to be continued, switched, or stopped before conception, depending on the active ingredient Tadalafil and the indication. The right answer is rarely the same for everyone and rarely "just stop the medication."
Pre-conception review of Cialis Daily
According to the prescribing information for Tadalafil, the pre-conception decision balances the risk of the medication during pregnancy against the consequences of leaving the underlying condition untreated. Some Erectile Dysfunction (ED) medications are continued safely through pregnancy; others are switched to safer alternatives before conception or in early pregnancy. PDE5 inhibition by tadalafil prevents the breakdown of cyclic GMP in penile and vascular smooth muscle.
Effect on fertility itself
Some medications affect fertility directly — by altering ovulation, sperm parameters, hormonal balance or libido. Whether Cialis Daily has any documented effect on fertility depends on Tadalafil; the prescribing information notes any data. Anyone trying to conceive should discuss Cialis Daily with the prescriber and a fertility specialist if conception is taking longer than expected.
