Tadalafil Generic

Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis and generic brands, when they are available, will use the same ingredient.  Tadalafil has been used by more than 15,000 men in clinical tests for erectile dysfunction (ED) and has been used by more than 8,000,000 men worldwide.

Tadalafil 20 MG

Tadalafil comes in dosages of 5, 10, and 20 mg for erectile dysfunction.  A larger dosage is available for pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is another use for the supplement.  The 20 mg is the more common dosage for Tadalafil.

If Tadalafil is taken daily, the smaller dosages might be all that is necessary, and it also depends on how advanced the ED might be.

Tadalafil Dosage

Taken for pulmonary arterial hypertension, the usual dosage of Tadalafil is 2 – 20 mg tablets per day.  It is best to take Tadalafil at different times of the day and one at a time.

For erectile dysfunction, it is best to take Tadalafil as needed and not to exceed 20 mg per day.  Because of the long lasting effects of Tadalafil, one pill every other day may be all that is necessary.

Tadalafil Citrate

Some people think that Tadalafil citrate is the correct term for the active ingredient in the supplement, whether it is Cialis or another brand.  Citrate is the extension for the ingredient in Viagra, but it has nothing to do with Tadalafil.

Tadalafil Tablets

Tadalafil usually comes in tablet form and the effectiveness of the tablet begins in about 30 minutes.  This means that Tadalafil is much faster acting than the sildenafil citrate of Viagra.  Although the usual form for Tadalafil is a tablet, it is also available in soft tabs, which are easier to swallow and start to work in only 15 minutes.

Although they go to work faster, there is no appreciable difference in the length of time that Tadalafil in soft tabs work.  Tadalafil in soft tabs can be used while drinking alcohol, which is not recommended with the regular pill.

Tadalafil Side Effects

Tadalafil may inhibit the use of equipment and machinery.  Some people report dizziness and the inability to drive a car while they are taking Tadalafil.  Be sure of the effects the medicine has on you before you attempt to operate power tools or vehicles.

Drinking alcohol with Tadalafil may cause the blood pressure to drop and dizziness to ensue.  Alcohol can have a negative effect on sexual performance even when using Tadalafil.

Drinking grapefruit juice while using Tadalafil can result in an increase in potency of the drug and increase the risk of side effects, too.

Some people have experienced a loss of sight while using Tadalafil.  If this happens, stop taking the drug immediately and consult a physician.

An erection of more than four hours can result in damage to the erectile tissue of the penis.  This can cause irreversible damage and dysfunction.  Consult a doctor immediately if this occurs and do not delay more than six hours.

If you have any of the following, do not use Tadalafil without a doctor’s opinion:

* Kidney or liver problems

* Cardiovascular disease

* Blood pressure requiring medications

* Physical deformity of the penis or Peyronie’s disease

* Sickle cell anaemia, bone cancer, myeloma, or leukemia
