Answer in a Nutshell
In Singapore, tadalafil prices vary depending on dose strength, quantity, brand vs. generic status, and consultation or dispensing fees. In 2025, several licensed telemedicine services offer transparent pricing and legitimate prescriptions. However, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) continues to issue warnings about “gray-market” or counterfeit tadalafil products containing undeclared active ingredients. Knowing where savings are real and where they’re risky matters more than ever.
Introduction
Tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, has become a cornerstone therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) in Singapore thanks to its prolonged action, lasting up to 36 hours, and flexible daily or on-demand dosing. In 2025, more men are turning to online telemedicine and subscription-based clinics for discreet, prescription-based access. Yet prices vary widely depending on where and how the drug is obtained.
Branded Cialis dispensed through private clinics remains costly, while HSA-approved generic tadalafil has made legitimate treatment more affordable. Unfortunately, the local market also faces an influx of “gray” or illegally imported products, often marketed as herbal or overseas supplements but containing undeclared active ingredients.
This article explains what determines tadalafil’s cost in Singapore, how to compare prices safely, and what the latest Health Sciences Authority (HSA) updates reveal about counterfeit risks and verified alternatives.
Price Drivers: You Can Compare
Tadalafil prices in Singapore fluctuate mainly because of dose strength, formulation, and dispensing channel. The two principal regimens are daily dosing (2.5–5 mg) and on-demand dosing (10–20 mg). Daily tablets are taken every morning to maintain steady blood levels and allow sexual activity anytime; on-demand doses are taken about 30 minutes before sex. Per-tablet prices for daily forms tend to be lower, but total monthly cost is higher because of continuous use.
Package size also matters. A 28-tablet pack of 5 mg tadalafil usually offers a lower per-tablet price than small four-tablet refills. However, retail pharmacies or clinics may add consultation or dispensing fees, typically S$20–40 per visit.
The dispensing channel is the largest cost driver:
- Private clinics charge separately for consultation and medication.
- Polyclinics generally don’t prescribe tadalafil for ED, directing patients to private care.
- Telemedicine providers such as OfNoah, DoctorAnywhere, and MHC combine digital consultation, prescription approval, and home delivery in one package.
Brand choice further shapes cost. Branded Cialis tablets remain the benchmark but command a 40–60 percent premium over HSA-registered generics. Both contain identical active ingredients and meet the same pharmaceutical standards, but brand pricing reflects international licensing and marketing costs.
Finally, delivery and convenience factors influence the final bill. Subscription-based online services often include free delivery and follow-up consultations, while single purchases may incur courier fees.
In 2025, typical prices range between S$45–80 per month for licensed telemedicine plans and S$70–90 for branded equivalents dispensed in-clinic. Understanding these structural differences helps patients evaluate where apparent discounts come from and whether they’re genuinely legitimate or masking unlicensed imports.
Where Legal Savings Come From
Tadalafil is one of the few long-acting PDE5 inhibitors available in Singapore, and patients often discover that small changes in dose planning and source selection can significantly reduce cost without sacrificing safety.
The most important step is choosing HSA-registered generic tadalafil. These generics contain the same active ingredient and meet the same quality and bioequivalence standards as branded Cialis but are 40–60 percent cheaper. Reputable generics are dispensed through licensed clinics and telemedicine platforms such as OfNoah.sg, DoctorAnywhere, or MHC, all of which operate under HSA oversight.
A second savings route is dose optimization. For men who respond well, a daily 5 mg regimen often costs less per use than intermittent 10 mg or 20 mg tablets. Others can safely halve a 10 mg tablet under pharmacist guidance. Over-splitting or using non-scored tablets, however, risks uneven dosing and should be avoided.
Many digital clinics now offer subscription plans or membership programs that include teleconsultation, medication, and delivery for one monthly price. These typically range from S$45–60 per month for generic tadalafil and S$75–90 for branded Cialis. The predictable pricing structure makes adherence easier and prevents the temptation to buy unverified “discount” versions from overseas sellers.
Patients should be wary of online listings that advertise Cialis or “generic tadalafil” without requiring a prescription. Such sites often ship unregistered or counterfeit products that may contain undeclared sildenafil, tadalafil in unsafe doses, or no active ingredient at all. The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) regularly seizes these imports and issues public safety alerts. Real savings come from approved sources, appropriate dosing, and transparent consultation fees, not from cutting regulatory corners. Licensed telemedicine platforms remain the safest balance between privacy, price, and pharmaceutical integrity.
Examples & Safety Alerts
While legitimate clinics and telemedicine providers now make tadalafil more affordable and accessible, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) continues to uncover “sexual enhancement” products sold locally or online that contain undeclared tadalafil or sildenafil. These adulterated supplements pose a real danger because their dosage, interactions, and manufacturing conditions are unknown.
In August 2025, the HSA released an update warning consumers about several products purchased overseas and online that tested positive for potent PDE5 ingredients despite being marketed as herbal tonics. The affected items were sold under various names, including “Man Power XXX Capsules” and “Herbal Gold”. Laboratory testing confirmed that the undeclared tadalafil levels in some capsules were equivalent to more than two standard 20 mg tablets per dose. Such unregulated exposure increases the risk of severe hypotension and cardiovascular events, particularly when combined with alcohol or nitrates.
By contrast, licensed telemedicine providers maintain full transparency on medication source and strength.
- OfNoah.sg lists tadalafil treatment plans starting from S$45/month for 5 mg daily doses.
- DoctorAnywhere offers online consultation and delivery, with monthly costs between S$55–80 depending on dose and refill duration.
- In physical clinics such as DTAP or Atlas Men’s Health, branded Cialis 20 mg typically costs S$18–22 per tablet, with an additional consultation fee of around S$25–40.
These examples demonstrate that genuine tadalafil has a clear price range; anything dramatically cheaper is likely unlicensed. The HSA’s official website provides monthly lists of seized or recalled products and advises consumers to purchase only from clinics or pharmacies that require a doctor’s prescription.
Buying from regulated providers ensures not just authenticity but also the right dosage and medical follow-up, which are the real definition of value in sexual-health treatment.
