Cialis’s original patent expired in the United States in late 2017, allowing generic versions to enter the market. This means you can now find affordable alternatives.
However, patent protection varied across countries. Different countries have different patent laws and expiration dates, influencing when generic Cialis became available internationally. Research your specific country’s regulations for precise details.
This expiration allowed many pharmaceutical companies to produce and sell generic tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis. Competition generally results in lower prices for consumers.
While the primary patent has expired, additional patents protecting specific formulations or uses of Cialis may still exist. These secondary patents could delay the complete market saturation with generics in some areas.
To find generic Cialis, consult your doctor or pharmacist. They can provide guidance on available options and assist in finding reputable sources. Always purchase medication from licensed pharmacies to ensure product safety and authenticity. Compare prices from different pharmacies to identify the best value.
