Tadacip 20 mg (Tadalafil)

Product Overview

Tadacip 20 mg is a prescription medication formulated to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Each tablet contains 20 mg of Tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, which enhances blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection. Tadacip is manufactured by Cipla, a reputable pharmaceutical company.

Active Ingredient

Tadalafil (20 mg): A long-acting PDE5 inhibitor that relaxes blood vessels, increasing blood flow to specific areas of the body, particularly the penis.

Mechanism of Action

Upon sexual arousal, nitric oxide is released in the penile tissues, activating the enzyme guanylate cyclase. This increases levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to relaxation of smooth muscles and vasodilation of blood vessels in the penis. Tadalafil inhibits PDE5, the enzyme responsible for degrading cGMP, thereby prolonging its action and enhancing erectile function.

Usage Guidelines

Dosage: Take one tablet orally with water approximately 30 to 60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.

Administration: Can be taken with or without food.

Frequency: Do not take more than one tablet within a 24-hour period.

Consultation: Always consult a healthcare professional before initiating treatment to ensure suitability and correct dosage.

Precautions

• Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart problems, liver or kidney disease, or any other significant medical conditions.
• Medications: Disclose all current medications, including nitrates, alpha-blockers, antifungals, HIV protease inhibitors, and other PDE5 inhibitors, to avoid potential interactions.
• Activities: Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how Tadacip affects you, as it may cause dizziness or blurred vision.
• Alcohol: Limit or avoid alcohol consumption, as it can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness and hypotension.
