Details for each option
Brand nameNo maker’s card
We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Cialis’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Cialis’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.
Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Cialis itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.
Regular genericWhere to buy it
Pharmacies’ own cash prices for generic tadalafil, lowest first.

About these prices
Prices change, can differ by store and state, and may depend on the strength and how many you take. With insurance, ask what your plan charges; it can be less. Most online clinics don’t take insurance.
Compounded medicines
Made by a pharmacy. These aren’t generics, and they aren’t FDA-approved: the FDA doesn’t review them for safety, quality or how well they work before they’re sold.

The FDA doesn’t rate Cipla’s version of tadalafil a substitute for Cialis, so a pharmacy can’t swap it in without your prescriber’s OK.
Who sells it: FDA and Medicaid records, updated weekly. Each maker’s page, card and program is from its own site.
What to say at the pharmacy
“Before you fill my Cialis, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”
Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
What it’s used for
What the FDA label says
CIALIS® is a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of:
- erectile dysfunction (ED)
- the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
- ED and the signs and symptoms of BPH (ED/BPH)
If CIALIS is used with finasteride to initiate BPH treatment, such use is recommended for up to 26 weeks.
Source: the FDA label for Cialis (Eli Lilly and Company), June 3, 2026. Full label on DailyMed
Good to know
- A regular generic may look different from Cialis. The FDA requires it to work the same way.
- We didn’t find a savings card from Cialis’s maker.
- Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
Prices checked November 2, 2026. Prices change: confirm with the pharmacy before you fill. drugalt.com/drug/cialis/
