Lilyfil 20 mg Tablet

Lilyfil 20 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 20 mg of tadalafil in each tablet. Tadalafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men, and may also be prescribed for symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia or certain other doctor-directed uses.

How it works: Lilyfil 20 mg Tablet helps increase blood flow by relaxing the smooth muscles in blood vessels, including those involved in penile erections. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed into the body before it starts working.

Lilyfil 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tadalafil tablet, so it is typically used only after a doctor has assessed whether a lower strength is appropriate. Compared with lower-dose tadalafil tablets, the 20 mg strength is not meant for routine daily use; it is generally chosen when an on-demand dose is needed and a clinician decides this strength fits the person’s response and tolerability.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms, if prescribed by a doctor
• On-demand treatment plan for sexual activity, when directed by a clinician

• Swallow Lilyfil 20 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Take it only as prescribed, usually before sexual activity rather than on a fixed schedule.
• It may be taken with or without food; a high-fat meal can sometimes slow how quickly it starts working.
• Do not take more than one 20 mg tablet in 24 hours.
• Avoid taking it with nitrates or other medicines your doctor has told you not to combine with tadalafil.

Each Lilyfil 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of tadalafil. This is a higher dose, so it should be taken only on the schedule your doctor prescribes; for erectile dysfunction, it is usually used no more than once in a day. Your doctor decides whether this strength is appropriate based on your health, other medicines, and how you respond to tadalafil.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Tadalafil may include:

• Headache
• Indigestion or upset stomach
• Back pain
• Muscle aches
• Flushing
• Stuffy or runny nose
• Dizziness, which may be more noticeable at the 20 mg strength

• Do not use Lilyfil 20 mg Tablet with nitrates, including nitroglycerin, because the combination can cause a dangerous blood pressure drop.
• Use extra caution if you have heart disease, low blood pressure, a recent heart attack or stroke, or have been told to avoid sexual activity.
• Avoid heavy alcohol use, which can worsen dizziness and low blood pressure.
• This higher-strength tablet may cause stronger side effects than lower tadalafil doses, so follow your doctor’s directions exactly.
• Be careful when driving or operating machinery until you know how this tablet affects you.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, because tadalafil may stay in your body longer.
• Seek medical advice before use if you have a history of vision problems or non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

• Nitrates such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide
• Alpha-blockers used for blood pressure or prostate symptoms
