Tazzle 20 mg Tablet

Tazzle 20 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains tadalafil 20 mg in each tablet. Tadalafil belongs to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and may also be prescribed for other doctor-directed uses of tadalafil.

How it works: Tadalafil in Tazzle 20 mg Tablet helps relax blood vessels and increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, which can improve the ability to get and keep an erection. The tablet form is swallowed whole and begins working after it is absorbed, so it is taken before planned sexual activity rather than as an instant effect.

Tazzle 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tadalafil tablet than Tazzle 10 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen for people whose prescriber thinks the lower strength may not be enough. Because it is the 20 mg strength, it may be more likely to cause side effects than lower-dose tablets, so it should be used only when a doctor has specifically assessed the patient.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Doctor-directed tadalafil therapy
• Improving ability to achieve and maintain an erection

• Swallow Tazzle 20 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew it unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Take it before sexual activity, allowing enough time for it to be absorbed; it is not meant to work immediately.
• You may take it with or without food, but a very heavy meal can sometimes delay how quickly it starts working.
• Do not take more than one Tazzle 20 mg Tablet in 24 hours.
• Use it only as prescribed; this 20 mg tablet is not a routine starting dose for everyone.

Each Tazzle 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of tadalafil per tablet. Depending on the reason it was prescribed, it may be taken as needed before sexual activity, but it should not be taken more than once in 24 hours unless a doctor has given different directions. Your prescriber decides whether this higher-strength tablet is appropriate and what schedule is safest for you.

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