The recommended starting dose of generic tadalafil for erectile dysfunction is 10 mg, taken as needed, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. This dose may be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg based on individual response and tolerance. Never exceed 20 mg in a 24-hour period.
For the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the usual dose is 5 mg once daily, taken at approximately the same time each day. Your doctor may adjust this dose based on your response.
For pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), the dosage is determined by your physician and may vary significantly depending on individual needs. It’s crucial to follow your doctor’s specific instructions precisely.
Take tadalafil with a glass of water. Food generally doesn’t affect absorption, but a high-fat meal might slightly delay the onset of effect. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as it can increase tadalafil levels in your blood.
Tadalafil is intended for use as needed for erectile dysfunction, whereas it’s taken daily for BPH and PAH. Always follow your doctor’s guidance on frequency and timing of administration.
If you miss a dose of tadalafil for BPH or PAH, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. For erectile dysfunction, simply take the next dose when needed.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further information or if you have any questions or concerns about your tadalafil dosage and administration.
