Cialis is a brand-name drug that is commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence. ED is defined medically as the inability to get or keep an erection. The generic name of the main drug in Cialis is tadalafil. The drug works by disrupting an enzyme, resulting in blood vessel walls expanding and increased blood flow to the penis as a result. This results in improved erection quality and better sexual performance.
