Pill-splitting offers a way to cut down on the overall cost of your erectile dysfunction treatment. In some cases, combining two or more lower-price pills to make up a single dose of a drug could also save you money.
Splitting higher-strength pills to produce two doses for the price of one has become fairly entrenched as a way to save on the cost of erectile dysfunction drugs. For example, you might split a 20 mg Cialis as-needed or tadalafil as-needed tablet to yield two 10 mg doses.
Yet another way to trim your spending on ED medications might be to approach the problem from the opposite direction — taking two or more lower-strength (and lower-cost) 5 mg Cialis daily tablets to equal the strength of Cialis as-needed’s 10 mg recommended starting dose.
Makes Financial Sense
For users of Cialis as-needed or tadalafil as-needed, this latter strategy makes sound financial sense. At current prices, you’ll spend less to buy two 5 mg Cialis daily or tadalafil daily tablets than you’d have to shell out for a 10 mg dose of Cialis as-needed or tadalafil as-needed.
Although the daily and as-needed formulations of Cialis and tadalafil are targeted to different markets, the varying-strength tablets of these drugs all contain the same active ingredient, namely tadalafil. If you can put together a 10 mg dose of either drug by taking two 5 mg tablets and save money in the process, why not do it? We suggest that you run this idea past your doctor before actually doing it, but we can’t think of any logical argument against such a tactic.
Cialis As-Needed vs. Cialis Daily
According to Secure Medical’s monthly review of prescription drug prices, the average price of 20 mg Cialis as-needed in the second half of 2019 was $76.23. Split in two, that would yield two 10 mg doses at an average price of $38.12 each.
By contrast, the average price for a 5 mg tablet of Cialis daily during the second half was $14.93. Take two of those 5 mg tablets to equal a 10 mg dose, and you’ve spent only $29.86, a savings of $8.26.
Tadalafil As-Needed vs. Tadalafil Daily
Similar but somewhat smaller savings can be achieved by opting for daily tadalafil over tadalafil as-needed. The average second-half price for 20 mg tadalafil as-needed was $29.75, or $14.88 for a 10 mg dose. Tadalafil daily 5 mg had an average price of $6.60 in the second half of 2019, which would bring the price of two 5 mg tablets to $13.20, still a savings of $1.68 per 10 mg dose.
As previously noted, it is recommended that you check first with your doctor before embarking on any campaign of either pill-splitting or substitution of multiple Cialis/tadalafil daily tablets for doses of Cialis/tadalafil as-needed. Not all medications can be safely split, and your doctor can tell you which is which.
