Tadalafil Tabs

Prescription Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Tadalafil 20 mg is a generic prescription medication containing the same active ingredient found in Cialis®. It belongs to a group of medicines known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men.

This medication works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping men achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. Tadalafil does not cause an erection on its own—sexual arousal is still required for it to be effective.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Tadalafil is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider. It is not intended for use by women or children and should only be taken by the individual it is prescribed for.

Essential Treatment Information:

• Dosage: 10 mg is a common starting dose, which may be adjusted to 5 mg or 20 mg depending on response and tolerance
• Timing: Typically taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity
• Frequency: Do not take more than once per day
• Effect Duration: Effects may last up to 36 hours
• Food Interaction: Can be taken with or without food

Important Safety Considerations:

• Medical Evaluation Required: A healthcare provider should assess your overall health, including heart health, before prescribing tadalafil
• Nitrate Warning: Do not use with nitrates or nitrites, as this combination may cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure
• Cardiovascular Risks: Not suitable for men advised to avoid sexual activity due to heart conditions
• Vision Changes: Rare vision disturbances may occur—seek immediate medical attention if sudden vision loss happens
• Priapism: Seek emergency care if an erection lasts longer than 4 hours

Common Side Effects: May include headache, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, back pain, or muscle aches. These effects are generally mild and temporary.
