What is Tadalafil?
Tadalafil is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED)—a condition where it’s difficult to get or maintain an erection. It works by improving blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis and is commonly taken as needed before sexual activity.
Who is the ideal candidate for Tadalafil?
Tadalafil is suitable for adult men who:
-
Experience difficulty getting or maintaining an erection
-
Are generally in good health or have been medically cleared for ED treatment
Tadalafil may not be suitable if you:
-
Take nitrates for chest pain
-
Have serious heart, liver, or kidney conditions
-
Have recently had a stroke or heart attack
One of our experienced clinicians will review your health and medication history to ensure Tadalafil is a safe option for you.
How does Tadalafil work to treat erectile dysfunction?
Tadalafil increases blood flow to the penis by relaxing blood vessels. This helps you achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation. Unlike some ED medications, Tadalafil can last up to 36 hours, giving you more flexibility in your timing. It doesn’t cause an erection on its own—sexual arousal is still needed for it to work.
How do I take Tadalafil?
Tadalafil 10mg is usually taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before sex.
-
Take the tablet with water
-
It can be taken with or without food
-
Only take one tablet within a 24-hour period
-
Avoid excessive alcohol as it can reduce effectiveness
Your clinician may recommend a different dose depending on your needs and health profile.
What are the main side effects of Tadalafil?
Some people may experience mild side effects, especially when starting treatment. Common ones include:
-
Headache
-
Indigestion or acid reflux
-
Back pain or muscle aches
-
Nasal congestion
-
Flushing
-
Dizziness
These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own.
