What is tadalafil used for?

Tadalafil is a cost-effective generic prescription medication employed to treat various conditions, namely erectile dysfunction (impotence), benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Tadalafil, like its brand-name counterparts Cialis® and Adcirca®, belongs to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which prevent the enzyme PDE5 from functioning too rapidly, thereby enhancing blood flow through the body's blood vessels.

Additionally, tadalafil can be taken at a lower prescribed dosage on a daily basis. With consistent daily use, you may notice an increased ability to achieve an erection whenever you experience sexual stimulation. Following the initiation of a daily tadalafil regimen, individuals may be able to successfully engage in sexual intercourse within just 4 to 5 days.

How much tadalafil should I take?

We offer tadalafil in several strengths to meet individual patient needs at competitive prices. The appropriate dosage of tadalafil depends on whether it is intended for daily use or as-needed consumption.

When taken on an as-needed basis, higher dosages are typically utilized since there isn’t time for the medication to build up. Standard starting doses for as-needed tadalafil often include 10mg or 20mg, depending on individual health conditions and age factors.
