Common Use

Tadacip is a medication that falls under the class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors. It works by enhancing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, enabling men with erectile dysfunction to achieve an erection. The active ingredient in Tadacip is Tadalafil, which relaxes smooth muscles and widens blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to fill the cavernous bodies and result in an erection. It is important to note that Tadacip does not cause an erection on its own; sexual stimulation is required. After the sexual act, the erection subsides naturally.

Dosage and Direction

The standard recommended dosage of Tadacip (Generic Cialis) is one 20 mg tablet per day. However, it is essential to consult your doctor for proper dosage adjustment, especially if you have specific medical conditions. Elderly patients may be more susceptible to the side effects of Tadalafil, so caution is advised for this group.

Precautions

Tadacip is not recommended for men with cardiac conditions where sexual activity is considered unsafe. While there is no specific data on priapism (prolonged erection) with Tadacip, it has been observed with other PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil. If an erection lasts for more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention to prevent permanent damage. Inform your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

• Abnormal penis structure (e.g., curved penis or birth defects)
• History of coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, angina, heart attack, or heart failure
• Hypotension or hypertension
• Bleeding disorders, stomach ulcers, or diabetes
• Hyperlipidemia (excess lipids in the blood)
• Sickle-cell anemia
• Liver or kidney failure

Contraindications

Tadacip should not be used by patients who are taking any form of organic nitrate, either regularly or intermittently, as it can amplify their hypotensive effect.
