What generic Cialis is called

Generic Cialis is the brand name for tadalafil, so generic Cialis is typically sold simply as tadalafil (often with the same strengths as Cialis: such as 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg) [1].

Why the name changes (brand vs. generic)

Cialis is a brand; the “generic Cialis” versions use the generic drug name—tadalafil—rather than the brand name [1].

What you’ll see on the pharmacy label

Depending on the manufacturer, the product name on the bottle is usually “tadalafil” plus a company name and strength (for example, “tadalafil 20 mg”) [1].

Is it the same medicine as Cialis?

Yes. A generic version of Cialis contains the same active ingredient (tadalafil), even though the manufacturer and packaging differ [1].
