Tadalafil is typically prescribed as a 10mg dose taken once daily, as needed. However, your doctor may adjust this based on your individual needs and response to treatment. Some men may find a 5mg dose sufficient, while others may require a higher dose, up to 20mg.
Take Tadalafil at least 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. The effects can last for up to 36 hours, allowing for more spontaneity. Avoid taking more than one dose in a 24-hour period.
Tadalafil should be taken with a glass of water. Food generally does not affect its absorption but consuming large, fatty meals may delay the onset of action slightly.
Remember, alcohol consumption can negatively impact Tadalafil’s effectiveness and may increase the risk of side effects. Avoid excessive alcohol intake.
Grapefruit juice can interact with Tadalafil, potentially increasing its blood levels. Limit or avoid grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
Inform your doctor about all other medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as interactions may occur. This is especially important for nitrates, which should never be combined with Tadalafil.
If you experience any side effects, such as headache, flushing, or nasal congestion, contact your physician. Severe side effects, such as prolonged erection (priapism), require immediate medical attention.
Regular check-ups with your doctor are recommended to monitor your progress and adjust the dosage as needed. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
