Dosage and Administration
- Tadalafil is typically taken as needed, about 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. The recommended starting dose is 10mg. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response and individual needs. Do not exceed the maximum recommended dose of 20mg in a 24-hour period. Take Tadalafil with a glass of water. Food may slightly delay absorption.
Possible Side Effects
- Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Less common, but more serious side effects, include vision changes (blurred vision, blue tint to vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any serious side effects.
Interactions with Other Medications
Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Some medications can interact with Tadalafil. Specifically, avoid nitrates (used to treat chest pain) as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Your doctor can advise on potential interactions and help ensure safe use.
Storage
Store Tadalafil at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose.
