Common Use
Tadalis SX is a generic form of Tadalafil used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. It acts only with sexual stimulation by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5, which relaxes blood vessels in the penis, enhancing blood flow. Tadalis is cost-effective due to minimal marketing expenses.
Dosage and Direction
Take one 20 mg Tadalis SX tablet about 30 minutes before sexual activity. Swallow it with water, with or without food. Its effects begin within 30 minutes and last up to 36 hours.
Precautions
This medication is not for women or children. Follow the prescribed dosage and do not exceed it. Avoid use if advised against sexual activity due to heart issues. Do not combine with other erectile dysfunction medications unless directed by a doctor. Avoid high-fat meals and alcohol, as they may reduce effectiveness. Inform your doctor if you have sickle cell anemia, myeloma, leukemia, or significant kidney or liver impairment.
Contraindications
Tadalis SX is contraindicated for individuals using nitrates, as this combination can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure.
