The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially approved taking low doses of Cialis on a daily basis. The news was first voiced by Eli Lilly and Company, the manufacturer of the drug.

According to FDA men with erectile dysfunction can take 2.5 to 5 mg of the ED drug daily if they are in for more frequent sex. If no increase in sexual activity is anticipated, FDA suggests sticking to the previously prescribed dosing schedule.

The new approval was given after the drug had outperformed placebo in several recent studies. In medical trials men having erection difficulties were assigned to low doses of Cialis administered daily, which resulted in increased sexual performance.

The first approval for Cialis was issued by the FDA in 2003.
