What is Tadalafil?
tadalafil is an oral medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. This can only be taken if sexual intercourse is expected or at a lower dose per day if regular sexual intercourse is expected. The drug is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5 inhibitor). This class includes other medicines such as Sildenafil and Vardenafil. The physiological process of achieving and maintaining an erection is complex and includes various chemicals and signals of the nervous system. Cyclic GMP is one of the participating chemical messengers. When sexual stimulation occurs, CGMP is released and causes the blood vessels in the penis, which allows more blood and causes rigid. Tadalafil by blocking phosphodiesterase type 5 prevents CGMP. This allows permanent erection. The drug will only work if there has been sexual stimulation, because CGMP is only present.
tadalafil can be used on the basis of "as needed". When used in this way, the tablet lasts about half an hour before the expected sexAvní contact. The prescribed physician usually starts at a lower dose of 10 mg and increases it to 20 mg if necessary, based on response and tolerance.
erectile dysfunction can be a desperate condition and cause a considerable amount of anxiety. Tadalafil can also be considered a daily dose if regular intercourse is expected to remove the need for preliminary doses. However, the dose is much lower when using daily, either at 2.5 mg or 5 mg, depending on the reaction and tolerance.
As with any drugs, Tadalafil can interact with other medicines or health. Not to be used in combination with any nitrate drug, a medicine often used in patients with angina. Before using tadalafil, any accompanying medication or disease must be discussed with the prescription physician to avoid any potentially dangerous interactions.
tadalafil can cause side effects. The most common of herCH are dizziness, headache and postural hypotension, especially in patients who use antihypertensive at the same time. Due to the possibility of dizziness, patients should not manage or work with a heavy machine after taking the drug. Priapism may rarely occur. This applies to an erection lasting for four hours and requires medical care to prevent long -term damage to the penis tissue.
