Product Description
What is Tadalafil?
Tadalafil belongs to a group of medicines known as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors). It helps men with erectile dysfunction (ED) achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It only works in response to sexual stimulation. Tadalafil does not increase sexual desire.
How Does Tadalafil Work?
When a man is sexually aroused, nitric oxide is released in the penis. This chemical relaxes blood vessels, allowing increased blood flow. PDE5 enzymes normally break down this chemical too quickly. Tadalafil blocks PDE5, allowing the effect to last longer and supporting improved erectile function.
How Long Does It Take to Work?
Tadalafil typically begins to work within 30–60 minutes, although some men notice effects in as little as 15–30 minutes.
How Long Does It Last?
Unlike most other ED medicines, Tadalafil lasts up to 36 hours, allowing greater flexibility for sexual activity without the need to time doses precisely.
Warnings and Precautions
Do not take Tadalafil if you:

- Have low blood pressure or uncontrolled hypertension
- Are allergic to tadalafil or any ingredients in the tablet
- Have a deformity of the penis or conditions predisposing to priapism (e.g. sickle cell anaemia, multiple myeloma, leukaemia)
