You’re experiencing a case of erectile dysfunction (ED) — it happens to many guys — and find a package of Cialis® in your medicine cabinet, shoved behind the toothpaste and an empty can of shaving cream you’ve been meaning to toss. Score!You’re about to pop one in your mouth when you realize you don’t know how old those pills are. They could be a week old, or you could have gotten them the last time you deep-cleaned your bathroom. Which prompts the question: Does Cialis expire?Cialis is one of the most popular medications for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. But if it’s been a while since you’ve used it for erectile dysfunction, those once-potent pills may not be as strong as they used to be.We’ll explain the Cialis shelf life and what happens if you take expired tadalafil (the generic version and active ingredient of Cialis).How Long Does Cialis Take to Expire?Does tadalafil expire?

All medications have an expiration date and could be less effective (or even dangerous) after that.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires all prescription and over-the-counter medications to have an expiration date printed on their packaging. The expiration date is the last day the medication’s potency and safety are ensured, according to the manufacturer.You can usually find the expiration date on the medication’s label. It may begin with “EXP” or something similar.If you find Cialis or another medicine left in its packaging untouched for
