Frequently asked questions about Tadalafil
-
Tadalafil (Cialis) is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED, impotence; inability to get or keep an erection) and the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH; an enlarged prostate), which include difficulty urinating (hesitation, dribbling, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying), painful urination, and urinary frequency and urgency in adult men. Additionally, Tadalafil (Adcirca) is prescribed to improve exercise capacity in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; high blood pressure in the vessels carrying blood to the lungs, causing shortness of breath, dizziness, and tiredness). This medication belongs to a class known as phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors and works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, thereby facilitating an erection.
It is essential to note that tadalafil does not cure erectile dysfunction or increase sexual desire; it simply aids individuals in achieving an erection during sexual activity. Also, it does not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
-
Tadalafil is available in tablet form and can be taken with or without food. If prescribed for erectile dysfunction, it may be consumed regularly as a daily dose or on an as-needed basis. Daily intake allows for flexibility, where sexual activity can occur at any time. Alternatively, if taken as needed, it should be taken at least 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity and not more than once every 24 hours. Your healthcare provider can guide you on the most suitable dosing strategy.
Should you experience side effects or find that the medication is ineffective, consult your healthcare provider for possible dose adjustments to ensure optimal results.

Before taking tadalafil,
Notify your doctor if you're allergic to tadalafil or any of its ingredients. Always ask your pharmacist for a complete list of ingredients to ensure safety.
Disclose all medications you are currently taking, particularly nitrates (like isosorbide or nitroglycerin), as co-administration with tadalafil can lead to dangerous drops in blood pressure.
Let your doctor know if you have any other health conditions like heart issues, vision problems, or liver disease, as these could influence your treatment and dosage.
Inform your physician about any recreational drugs, especially those containing nitrates, as they may pose significant risks when combined with tadalafil.
-
Dietary considerations are also vital when taking tadalafil. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interact with numerous medications, including tadalafil, potentially increasing the risk of side effects. Always discuss with your doctor the implications of your diet when taking this medication.
-
In the event of a missed dose while on a scheduled regimen for erectile dysfunction, take it as soon as you remember unless it's nearing the time for your next dose. Never double up on doses to catch up. For as-needed dosing, simply skip the missed dose if you are not close to your scheduled time.
-
Possible side effects of tadalafil include:
Headaches, indigestion, or heartburn
Flushing or nausea
Back, muscle, or leg pain
Diarrhea and respiratory symptoms like a cough
Serious side effects requiring immediate medical attention include sudden changes in vision or hearing, prolonged erections (lasting more than four hours), and severe allergic reactions that may manifest as swelling or difficulty breathing.
-
Storage is essential for maintaining the efficacy of tadalafil. Keep it in its original container, tightly sealed, and out of children’s reach. Store it at room temperature away from moisture and excessive heat. Unused medications should be disposed of properly to prevent accidental ingestion by others.
-
In cases of overdose, it is crucial to seek immediate medical assistance. Call your local poison control or emergency services. Symptoms of overdose may include severe dizziness, fainting, or prolonged unwanted erections.
-
Consistency with medication is key. Always maintain a record of all prescriptions and non-prescription medications you are taking. This is vital for managing potential drug interactions and ensuring that your healthcare provider is informed during visits.
