Why Canadians love Maple

All the walk-in clinics are booked in my city for days. Can’t even get a phone consultation. Signed up and communicated with a doctor almost immediately. Within an hour I had a prescription waiting at my local pharmacy. Great service.

—Apple App Store

Signed up at 12:08 pm. Needed to get a prescription for an ongoing medical situation and my family doc was booked up. Had my prescription faxed to the pharmacy by 12:43 pm... Incredible.

What an amazing experience! It took me 30 mins to get everything sorted and get my prescription sent to the pharmacy! Amazing!!

For a simple prescription refill, this app was fantastic. Fast, efficient, and the Dr. was incredibly helpful. I'd pick this method vs going in person any day.

Frequently asked questions

Maple 101

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

About Cialis

Cialis (tadalafil) is a prescription medication that treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis when you’re sexually stimulated. This helps you get and maintain an erection. What’s great about Cialis is its long-lasting effect—it can work for up to 36 hours. 

That gives you plenty of flexibility, so you don’t have to worry about timing it perfectly. It’s a popular choice for men who want more freedom with their plans. Maple makes it easy to get prescriptions such as Cialis online without the hassle of face-to-face visits and long waits in a waiting room full of sick people!

Both Cialis and Viagra help treat ED, but they’re different in a few key ways. Cialis can last up to 36 hours, while Viagra typically lasts around four to six hours. That means Cialis gives you a much longer window of time to be intimate. Depending on your lifestyle and how often you want to be ready, one may suit you better than the other. 

Talk to your health care provider, and they’ll help you decide which one is the best fit for you, and if you want a quick and easy way to get to the doctor without leaving the comfort of your home Maple is here to help.

Cialis isn’t just for ED. It’s also used for other conditions. Here is a breakdown of how it’s typically prescribed:

  • Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Cialis helps you get and keep an erection by increasing blood flow to your penis when you’re aroused. It works for up to 36 hours, giving you more freedom and spontaneity.
  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Cialis can help with symptoms of BPH, like difficulty urinating or the feeling that your bladder isn’t fully empty. It relaxes muscles in your prostate and bladder, which makes it easier to urinate.
  • Erectile Dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (ED + BPH): For men who experience both ED and BPH, Cialis can treat both conditions with a lower daily dose. This can be a convenient way to manage both issues at once.
  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Under the brand name Adcirca, Cialis is used to treat PAH, which is high blood pressure in the arteries of your lungs. It can help improve your exercise ability and slow the disease’s progression.

Cialis comes in different dosages; you can take it as needed or as a daily low dose. Your healthcare provider will help you determine the best treatment plan.

Before you start taking Cialis, knowing if it’s right for you is important. Some health conditions and medications don’t mix well with Cialis, so always check with your doctor first. You shouldn’t take Cialis if:

  • You’ve had allergic reactions to tadalafil or any of its ingredients in the past
  • You’ve got severe heart conditions, like a recent heart attack or serious heart rhythm disorders
  • Your blood pressure is either too high or too low and isn’t well controlled
  • You’re taking nitrates for chest pain (angina). Combining them with Cialis can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
  • You’ve got severe liver or kidney disease, especially if you’re on dialysis
  • You’ve got certain eye conditions, like retinitis pigmentosa or other inherited eye diseases, which could get worse with Cialis
  • You’re taking medications that may interact with Cialis, like certain antibiotics, antifungals, or drugs for HIV/AIDS
  • You’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Cialis isn’t meant for women, and there’s not enough research on how it affects pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • You’ve had priapism before, which is a painful erection that lasts more than four hours

Be sure to talk to your provider to make sure Cialis is safe for you based on your medical history and any medications you’re taking.

Like most medications, Cialis can cause side effects, though they’re usually mild. It’s good to know what to expect, and if something doesn’t feel right, you should reach out to your doctor. 

Here’s what to look out for.

Common side effects of Cialis include:

  • Headache
  • Flushing (feeling warm and red in the face)
  • Muscle aches
  • Indigestion

More serious side effects are rare, but you should know about them. If you suddenly lose vision, have hearing problems, or experience an erection that lasts more than four hours (priapism), seek medical help immediately.

Before starting Cialis, here are a few key things you’ll want to keep in mind:

  • Talk to your doctor: Always check with a healthcare provider to make sure Cialis is safe for you, especially if you have heart problems or blood pressure issues or if you’re taking other medications.
  • Watch out for interactions: Cialis can interact with some medications, especially nitrates for chest pain and certain blood pressure drugs. This can lead to dangerous drops in blood pressure.
  • Know the side effects: Common side effects include headaches, flushing, muscle aches, and indigestion. But if you notice more serious symptoms like vision changes, chest pain, or prolonged erections, get medical help right away.
  • Timing matters: Cialis is available in daily low-dose or higher doses as needed. It usually starts working in about 30 minutes and can last up to 36 hours.
  • Limit alcohol: Drinking too much alcohol while taking Cialis can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness and lower blood pressure.
  • Consider underlying conditions: If you’ve got liver or kidney issues, or are on medications for prostate problems, your health care provider and or the doctor may adjust your dose.

No, Cialis isn’t available over the counter in Canada. You’ll need a prescription. To see if Cialis is right for you, you’ll need to consult with a doctor either in person or online through a platform like Maple. Your health care provider will assess your condition and prescribe Cialis at their discretion.

Yes, Cialis does expire, usually within one year of being dispensed by a pharmacy. While it may still work beyond that time, its effectiveness can decrease. To get the best results, use it before the expiration date.

To get the best results from Cialis, it’s important to take it correctly. Here’s how to use it properly:

  • Timing: Take Cialis about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity
  • Dosage: Don’t take more than one dose in a 24-hour period
  • Effectiveness: Cialis can last for up to 36 hours, giving you flexibility with your timing

Cialis is known for its long-lasting effects compared to other ED medications. Depending on the dosage:

  • Standard dose (10-20 mg): Cialis can last up to 36 hours, allowing you to be more spontaneous with sexual activity
  • Low-dose daily use (2.5-5 mg): If you prefer more frequent sexual activity, a lower daily dose keeps a steady level of the medication in your system, so you don’t have to plan around it

Even though Cialis lasts a long time, remember that it won’t cause an erection on its own—you still need sexual stimulation.

Taking Cialis regularly, especially at a low daily dose, can help with both erectile function and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Regular use gives you the flexibility to be intimate whenever you want, but keep in mind that taking Cialis daily increases the chance of side effects like headaches, muscle aches, and indigestion. It’s a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider regularly to ensure the medication still works well for you.

If Cialis isn’t quite right for you, there are other options for treating ED. Here are some alternatives:

  • Viagra (sildenafil): Works for about 4-6 hours and is taken about 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity
  • Levitra (vardenafil): Similar to Viagra but can work slightly faster
  • Stendra (avanafil): Known for its quick onset, it can work in as little as 15-30 minutes
  • Alprostadil: This medication is available as an injection or suppository for men who can’t take oral medications
  • Testosterone Replacement Therapy: If low testosterone is causing your ED, testosterone therapy might help
  • Yohimbine: An herbal supplement that some men use for ED, though its effectiveness varies

Make sure you talk to your doctor before switching treatments or starting something new.

Yes, Cialis can interact with several other medications, including:

  • Nitrates (used for chest pain)
  • Alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure or prostate issues)
  • Guanylate cyclase stimulators (like Adempas for pulmonary hypertension)
  • Certain antifungal medications or antibiotics
  • Blood pressure medications

Always inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking before using Cialis.

In Canada, Cialis is a prescription medication and requires a medical diagnosis. You cannot buy Cialis online or over the counter without a prescription. However, with virtual care platforms like Maple, you can talk to a doctor online, who will assess your condition and, if appropriate, issue a prescription for you.

In Canada, only licensed healthcare providers, such as doctors or nurse practitioners, can prescribe Cialis. If you’re wondering how to get Cialis in Canada, you can start by talking to a doctor or nurse practitioner on Maple. After an online consultation, a healthcare provider will assess whether Cialis is appropriate for you in minutes and, if so, will issue a diagnosis and prescription at their discretion.

The healthcare provider determines the number of refills for Cialis based on their assessment and professional judgment. New patients typically receive a prescription for a shorter duration, often a 30-day supply. A follow-up appointment may be required to assess the effectiveness of the medication before additional refills are issued. Your doctor will guide the number of refills and whether a follow-up consultation is needed.

Yes, it’s possible to use health insurance for online Cialis prescriptions or refills. Most provincial health plans don’t cover Cialis as it’s considered an elective or lifestyle medication. Overall, the coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan benefits. In some instances, insurance may cover Cialis. You can determine if your plan includes coverage by contacting your insurance company directly.

Generally, proof of a prior prescription is required to obtain a refill for Cialis online. However, if you are seeking a new prescription rather than a refill, a healthcare provider on Maple can assess your health and needs and issue a new prescription for Cialis after your online visit if suitable.
