Tadact 20 mg Tablet

Tadact 20 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains tadalafil 20 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Tadact 20 mg Tablet is used to treat erectile dysfunction, helping improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexually stimulated. It may also be prescribed by a clinician for other tadalafil-approved uses when appropriate.

How it works: Tadalafil in Tadact 20 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow during sexual stimulation. The tablet does not create an automatic erection; it helps the body respond more normally when aroused.

Tadact 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tadalafil tablet compared with Tadact 10 mg Tablet, so it is generally chosen only after a doctor has assessed whether a 20 mg dose is appropriate. Because it is a stronger tablet, it may be more likely to cause side effects such as headache, flushing, or indigestion if it is not the right dose for you.

• Erectile dysfunction

Each Tadact 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of tadalafil. How often it may be taken depends on the reason it was prescribed, but for erectile dysfunction it is typically used on an as-needed basis and should not be taken more than once per day. Your doctor decides whether this 20 mg strength is appropriate for you and whether a lower strength, such as Tadact 10 mg Tablet, would be a better starting option.
