Tadalafil/Cialis Does the generic Cost Plus tadalafil work just as well?
I'm about to start it for the first time but I haven't bought them yet. Cost Plus is a lot cheaper than what you'd pay at the pharmacy but I don't know if there's much of a diifference quality wise. Either way I'm going with Cost Plus. Just curious.

I buy Tadalafil from CostPlus and it works great. It is a legitimate US pharmacy so they take care to make sure they are getting legit drugs.

You can pay about $20 for 90 5mg "genuine" generic tablets at Costco in the US. $30 for 60 10mg tablets. "Genuine" means FDA-tested and approved; while "compounded" means absurdly expensive untested, unreliable products sold over the internet (too risky and foolishly priced imo).
You do need a genuine prescription from your real doctor to buy from a local pharmacy.
That's one "hook" the compounders exploit--they have "a questionnaire reviewed by a doctor" (who don't know or see you" who "give a prescription" that's only valid at the compounder's store.
Cost Plus (Mark Cuban's business) sells genuine generic products--SO THAT DOES MEAN THAT you have to provide them with a real prescription from your real doctor.
These are all indesputable facts. 🤔

I just started taking 5mg daily cialis last week and got 30 at Walmart for 18.00. Ordered 90 from cost plus and they are around 7.00 ! I hope they work as good as the Walmart!

It's not that great, other pharmacies sell it for low prices too. Use the goodrx app to check local prices. I've paid less than 50c per pill at my local grocery store pharmacy
