Both Cialis and its generic, tadalafil, were lower in price in March 2020 than they were nine months earlier, but the most dramatic price drop was for tadalafil.
The Big 3 ED Drugs
Cialis and tadalafil are among the “Big 3” brand-name erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs and their generic counterparts, a group that also includes:
- Viagra and sildenafil
- Levitra and vardenafil
They share “Big 3” honors because they have traditionally rung up the three highest sales totals among all ED medications.
Cialis and tadalafil distinguish themselves from their Big 3 honorees in both their onset and duration of action. While Cialis and tadalafil take a bit longer to take effect, usually 60 to 120 minutes, their effects last for up to 36 hours, far longer than those of Viagra/sildenafil or Levitra/vardenafil.
On-Demand Drugs
As with Viagra/sildenafil and Levitra/vardenafil, Cialis/tadalafil is designed to be taken on-demand, or as needed. That means that these drugs can be taken anywhere from 30 to 120 minutes before the expected start of sexual activity.
There is, however, a lower-strength (2.5 to 5 mg) formulation of Cialis/tadalafil that is marketed as a daily ED drug. If you take this drug on a daily basis, you should be able to get and keep an erection suitable for intercourse whenever the moment is right. Prices for this type of Cialis/tadalafil are covered in a separate blog post.
Nicknamed the ‘Weekender’
The long-lasting effects of high-strength Cialis/tadalafil earned it the nickname of the “weekender,” because a pill taken at 9 p.m. on Friday probably wouldn’t wear off until about 9 a.m. on Sunday.
By contrast, Viagra/sildenafil and Levitra/vardenafil have a significantly shorter duration of action than Cialis/tadalafil. Their effects typically only last for four to five hours.
Comparing Cialis and tadalafil
The average prices of both Cialis and its generic equivalent, tadalafil, were considerably lower in March 2020 than they were in mid-2019, but the biggest price drop by far was seen in the generic medication.
The average price of 20 mg Cialis in March 2020 was $71.35, according to data from Secure Medical’s monthly review of select prescription drug prices. That was 8.6 percent lower than Cialis’s July 2019 price of $78.06.
However, the price of 20 mg tadalafil dropped a whopping 62.7 percent from $37.60 in July 2019 to $14.03 in March 2020.
Where to Buy Cialis or tadalafil
Looking at the prices posted for Cialis and tadalafil by specific pharmacy retailers in March, Publix had the lowest price at $70.23 per 20 mg tablet, or $35.12 per 10 mg dose. But if you were looking for real bargains, several pharmacies had stellar deals, including:
- Kroger – .79 cents per 20 mg tablet
- Winn-Dixie – .89 cents
- Giant Food Stores and Stop & Shop – $1.01
These prices brought the cost per 10 mg dose to less than $1.
