Megalis 10 mg Tablet

Megalis 10 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains tadalafil 10 mg in each tablet. Tadalafil belongs to a class of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors, which are used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. This strength is taken by mouth and is used when a doctor decides tadalafil is appropriate for you. Megalis 10 mg Tablet is made by Macleods Pharmaceuticals, India, and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Tadalafil in Megalis 10 mg Tablet helps relax smooth muscle and widen blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow during sexual stimulation. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system before it starts to work.

Megalis 10 mg Tablet is the mid-strength tablet in this product line, with the same active ingredient as Megalis 20 mg Tablet but at a lower dose. That makes it a common option for men who may need a lower tadalafil dose than 20 mg, or for patients whose doctor wants to balance effect with tolerability. It may be chosen when a clinician wants a prescription-strength tablet that can start working in a similar way to higher strengths but with less drug per tablet.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Improving ability to get and keep an erection
• Doctor-directed tadalafil treatment for men with ED

• Swallow the Megalis 10 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it only as prescribed, usually before sexual activity rather than on a fixed schedule unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Food does not usually stop tadalafil from working, but a very heavy meal may delay how quickly you feel the effect.
• Avoid taking more than one tablet in 24 hours unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to do so.
• Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor has told you that it is okay.

Each Megalis 10 mg Tablet provides tadalafil 10 mg. Your doctor may tell you to take one tablet as needed before sexual activity, and the medicine should not be taken more than once in 24 hours unless your prescriber gives different instructions. The right dose depends on your health, response, and other medicines, so the doctor decides whether this 10 mg strength is appropriate.

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

Common side effects of Tadalafil may include:

• Headache
• Flushing

• Dizziness

• Do not use Megalis 10 mg Tablet with nitrates, including nitroglycerin, because the combination can cause a dangerous blood pressure drop.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, a recent heart attack, stroke, or low blood pressure before using this tablet.
• Use caution with alcohol, which can increase dizziness and the chance of blood pressure-related side effects.
• If you take alpha-blockers for blood pressure or prostate symptoms, your prescriber may need to adjust therapy because tadalafil can lower blood pressure further.
• Do not drive or operate machinery if the tablet makes you dizzy or lightheaded.
• This 10 mg strength is still prescription-only and should be used only after a doctor has assessed whether tadalafil is safe for you.
