The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has tested products labelled Lieel Icos Cialis tadalafil 80mg and 100mg tablets (as compared to Lilly on genuine Cialis tablet products) and found that the tablets did not contain the stated substance tadalafil but they contain undeclared sildenafil which is a prescription-only medicine. TGA investigations have shown that a number of people in Australia may have bought the products online. The products pose a serious risk to your health and should not be taken. Consumers are advised to stop taking the products and consult their health care practitioner if they have concerns arising from the use of the products.
