TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip

TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip is a tadalafil medicine in a tablet form designed to dissolve in the mouth. Each TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip contains 10 mg of tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor. It is used for erectile dysfunction and may also be prescribed for symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, depending on the doctor’s instructions.

How it works: Tadalafil helps relax blood vessels in the penis, which can improve blood flow during sexual stimulation. Because TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip is a disintegrating tablet, it is meant to dissolve in the mouth, but the medicine works the same way as other tadalafil tablets once absorbed.

TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip is a mid-range strength, so it may be chosen when a lower dose is not enough or when a doctor wants a measured dose without moving straight to a higher strength. Compared with TFL 20 mg Disintegrating Strip, the 10 mg tablet is typically the more conservative option and may be better tolerated for some patients.

• Erectile dysfunction
• Improving ability to get and keep an erection
• Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, if prescribed
• Sometimes prescribed for both ED and BPH in the same patient

• Place the TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip on the tongue and let it dissolve; do not chew or swallow it whole unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity if it is being used for erectile dysfunction.
• Do not take more than one TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip in a 24-hour period unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to.
• You may take it with or without food; a heavy or high-fat meal may make the effect feel slower for some people.
• Avoid drinking too much alcohol, since that can make dizziness, headache, and low blood pressure more likely.
• Follow your prescriber’s instructions exactly, especially if you are also taking a medicine for prostate symptoms or blood pressure.

Each TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip provides 10 mg of tadalafil. Your doctor decides whether this strength is appropriate and how often you should use it; for many patients, it is taken no more than once daily. Do not exceed 10 mg in a day unless your prescriber gives different instructions specific to your treatment plan.

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

Common side effects of Tadalafil may include:

• Headache
• Indigestion or upset stomach
• Back pain
• Muscle aches
• Flushing
• Stuffy or runny nose
• Dizziness

• Do not use TFL 10 mg Disintegrating Strip with nitrate medicines, because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, recent heart attack, stroke, low blood pressure, or severe high blood pressure before using this 10 mg strength.
• Be careful with alcohol, since it can worsen dizziness and increase the chance of fainting or low blood pressure.
• Use caution if you have liver or kidney problems, because tadalafil may stay in the body longer.
• Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or have vision changes after taking it.
• This is a higher single-dose tablet than some starting regimens, so it should be used only when a clinician has decided the 10 mg strength is appropriate.
• Seek emergency help if an erection lasts more than 4 hours.

• Nitrates such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide
• Alpha-blockers used for prostate symptoms or high blood pressure
• Other PDE-5 inhibitors, including sildenafil or vardenafil
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, ritonavir, or clarithromycin
• Significant alcohol use
