Tadovas 20 mg Tablet

Tadovas 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 and may also be prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia depending on a doctor’s judgment. Tadovas 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength product, so it should be used only when a clinician has decided that 20 mg is appropriate.

How it works: Tadalafil in Tadovas 20 mg Tablet relaxes the smooth muscles and widens blood vessels in certain parts of the body, which helps improve blood flow. In erectile dysfunction, this makes it easier to get and keep an erection when you are sexually stimulated.

The Tadovas 20 mg Tablet provides a full 20 mg dose in one tablet, which is higher than lower tadalafil tablet strengths. This strength is often chosen for men who need a stronger on-demand dose and have already been assessed for safety, rather than as a first choice for everyone. Its effect may last longer than many people expect, but it still needs sexual stimulation to work.

• Erectile dysfunction
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia, if prescribed by a doctor
• Improving blood flow for sexual activity when appropriate
• On-demand treatment for men screened for tadalafil use

• Take Tadovas 20 mg Tablet by mouth with water, unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, split, or chew it unless your prescriber tells you to.
• It is usually taken before anticipated sexual activity, not more than once in a day.
• You may take it with or without food; a heavy or high-fat meal may slow how quickly it starts working.
• Do not take another tadalafil tablet on the same day unless your doctor specifically instructs you to.
• Follow the exact timing and directions your clinician gave you, especially because 20 mg is a higher-strength tablet.

Each Tadovas 20 mg Tablet contains 20 mg of tadalafil. This higher-strength tablet is typically taken only when needed, and it should not be taken more than once in 24 hours unless a doctor has given different instructions. Your doctor decides whether 20 mg is appropriate for you based on your health history, other medicines, and how well you tolerate tadalafil.

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