Tadalis-sx 20 mg Tablet

Tadalis-sx 20 mg Tablet is an oral tablet that contains 20 mg of tadalafil in each tablet. It belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is used mainly to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Tadalafil also has approved uses for symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia in some tadalafil products, but this specific tablet strength is commonly prescribed for erectile dysfunction when a clinician decides a 20 mg dose is appropriate. Tadalis-sx 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it should be used only when prescribed and directed by a healthcare professional.

How it works: Tadalafil in Tadalis-sx 20 mg Tablet helps relax blood vessels and increase blood flow to the penis when there is sexual stimulation. Because it is a swallowed tablet, it is absorbed through the digestive tract and then works systemically in the body.

Tadalis-sx 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tadalafil tablet, which means it is not the usual starting dose for everyone. A doctor may choose this strength for a person who needs a stronger effect than lower doses, or for use on an as-needed basis when lower strengths are not enough. Because it is a 20 mg tablet, it may be more likely than lower strengths to cause side effects such as headache, flushing, or indigestion.

• Erectile dysfunction
• Improving the ability to get and keep an erection with sexual stimulation
• Doctor-directed on-demand treatment for ED
• May also be used by a clinician for other tadalafil-approved needs when appropriate

• Swallow the Tadalis-sx 20 mg Tablet whole with water; do not split, crush, or chew unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Take it only when needed or exactly as prescribed, usually before sexual activity rather than on a fixed schedule unless your doctor instructs you differently.
• This 20 mg tablet may be taken with or without food; a heavy or high-fat meal can sometimes slow how quickly it starts working.
• Do not take more than one Tadalis-sx 20 mg Tablet in 24 hours.
• Avoid taking it with other erectile dysfunction medicines unless your doctor specifically tells you to do so.
• Sexual stimulation is still needed for the medicine to work.

Each Tadalis-sx 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of tadalafil, which is a higher strength than lower-dose tadalafil tablets. The exact dose and how often you may take it are decided by your doctor, but it is generally used as needed and should not be taken more than once per day. Do not change the dose on your own, especially because 20 mg may be too strong for some people.

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

Common side effects of Tadalafil may include:

• Use extra caution with alcohol, since alcohol can worsen dizziness and low blood pressure and may make sexual side effects less predictable.
