How Female Cialis affects libido and sex drive
Libido and sex drive are commonly affected by medications, sometimes intentionally (e.g. ED therapies) and sometimes as an unwelcome side effect. Female Cialis (Tadalafil) may or may not affect libido depending on Tadalafil; this page outlines what is documented at 20mg and what users typically report.
Documented effects of Female Cialis on libido
Some medications in Women's Sexual Health are designed specifically to affect sexual function; for those, libido changes are expected and central to the indication. Others have libido changes as side effects of altered hormones, mood, energy or autonomic function. According to the prescribing information for Tadalafil, the documented frequency varies and is listed in the side-effect profile.
Managing libido changes
For unwanted libido suppression, the right response often depends on whether the issue is the medication itself, the underlying condition, fatigue, or relationship factors. Tadalafil inhibits PDE5, allowing cGMP to accumulate in vascular smooth muscle and increasing local blood flow during arousal. A dose review, a switch within the same class, or addressing other contributors are all reasonable strategies and should be discussed with the prescriber rather than self-managed by stopping Female Cialis at 20mg.
