Tadalafil 20 is prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It functions as a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, enhancing blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal, thereby assisting in achieving and sustaining an erection.
Take Tadalafil precisely as directed by your doctor. For the majority of men, the initial recommended dose of Tadalafil 20 is 10 mg, and it should not be taken more than once a day. Some men may require a lower dosage of Tadalafil due to existing medical conditions or medications they are taking. Your doctor will provide the appropriate dosage for your needs.
Taking Tadalafil with certain medications, such as nitrates and alpha-blockers, as well as recreational drugs containing nitrates, known as "poppers," can lead to a sudden and dangerous drop in blood pressure. This can result in dizziness, fainting, or even heart attacks or strokes. Until you know how Tadalafil affects you, exercise caution when driving or operating heavy machinery. Tadalafil contains lactose and should be avoided by individuals who are lactose intolerant. Additionally, grapefruit juice should be avoided during treatment, as it may increase the risk of adverse side effects. If you are on medications that include nitrates or nitric oxide, have uncontrolled blood pressure (high or low), or have a history of strokes or heart attacks, do not take Tadalafil.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses to compensate for a missed one.
As previously mentioned, Tadalafil is a powerful medication that influences biochemical processes in the body, so some side effects may occur. However, none should be taken lightly. Ideally, patients should not experience any side effects. If any symptoms do arise, Tadalafil should be discontinued immediately, and you should seek medical advice. If you notice sudden chest tingling, pain, dizziness, or numbness during sexual activity, this could indicate intolerance to Tadalafil, and you should consult a doctor right away.
Here are other significant side effects that may occur: swelling of the limbs, numbness, heaviness in the chest along with pain in the shoulder and arm areas, feelings of uneasiness and nausea, vision problems, changes in hearing, or tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
