Tadalip 20 mg Tablet

Tadalip 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 help treat erectile dysfunction and, in some patients, symptoms of an enlarged prostate when prescribed for that purpose. Tadalip 20 mg Tablet is the higher-strength option in this brand line and is intended for people a clinician has assessed as needing this dose.

How it works: Tadalafil in Tadalip 20 mg Tablet helps relax blood vessels and smooth muscle so more blood can flow to certain areas of the body when sexual stimulation occurs. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system before it starts working.

Compared with Tadalip 10 mg Tablet, the 20 mg tablet delivers a higher amount of tadalafil in one dose and is not the usual starting strength for many patients. A doctor may choose Tadalip 20 mg Tablet when a lower dose has not worked well enough or when the higher dose is considered appropriate based on the person’s health and response. Because it is a stronger tablet, it may be more likely to cause side effects if it is not the right fit.

• Erectile dysfunction
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms, when prescribed
• Pulmonary arterial hypertension only if specifically directed by a specialist and with a different regimen

• Swallow Tadalip 20 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, since the 20 mg strength is a higher-dose tablet and may not be suitable for everyone.
• For erectile dysfunction, it is often taken before sexual activity, but follow your doctor’s timing instructions.
• You may take it with or without food; a very heavy meal may slow the onset for some people.
• Do not take more than one Tadalip 20 mg Tablet in 24 hours unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Avoid excess alcohol, which can increase dizziness and lower blood pressure.

Each Tadalip 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of tadalafil per tablet. This strength is usually taken no more than once in a 24-hour period, but the exact schedule depends on why it was prescribed and your doctor’s directions. Do not use more than the prescribed amount, because the safest dose and frequency must be individualized by a clinician.

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

Common side effects of Tadalafil may include:

• Headache
• Flushing
• Indigestion or upset stomach
• Back pain
• Muscle aches
• Nasal congestion
• Dizziness, which may be more noticeable with the 20 mg strength

• Do not use Tadalip 20 mg Tablet with nitrates, because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, a recent heart attack or stroke, low blood pressure, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• Use caution if you take alpha-blockers or other blood pressure medicines, since dizziness or fainting can occur.
• Avoid too much alcohol, which can worsen lightheadedness and reduce erection response.
• Do not use this higher-strength tablet more often than prescribed, because side effects may be more likely at 20 mg.
• Be careful driving or using machinery if you feel dizzy, especially after the first doses.
• Tell your prescriber about kidney or liver problems, since dose adjustments may be needed.

• Nitrates such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide
