Summary
This study is testing whether men can safely use tadalafil 5 mg (Cialis) for erectile dysfunction without a prescription. Participants will use a digital health survey to check if the drug is right for them before buying it. The goal is to see if people follow dosing instructions and avoid using the drug when they have certain health conditions. If successful, this could lead to Cialis being sold over the counter.
