Tadora is a prescription medication specifically formulated to address erectile dysfunction (ED) by enhancing blood flow to the penis, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. It contains the active ingredient Tadalafil, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that works by relaxing smooth muscles in the penile vasculature. Clinical studies and real-world usage have demonstrated its efficacy in improving erectile function across a broad patient demographic. Proper diagnosis and adherence to prescribing guidelines are essential for optimal therapeutic outcomes and patient safety.

Features

• Active ingredient: Tadalafil 20mg
• Pharmaceutical class: Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor
• Onset of action: As early as 30 minutes post-administration
• Duration of efficacy: Up to 36 hours, allowing for spontaneous sexual activity
• Administration: Oral tablet, taken with or without food
• Available in blister packs for stability and ease of use

Benefits

• Significantly improves the ability to achieve and sustain an erection when sexually stimulated.
• Provides a prolonged therapeutic window, reducing time pressure and supporting natural spontaneity.
• Enhances overall sexual satisfaction and confidence for both partners.
• Supported by extensive clinical data demonstrating high efficacy and patient tolerability.
• May improve quality of life by alleviating anxiety and stress associated with erectile dysfunction.

Common use

Tadora is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult males. It is used on an as-needed basis prior to anticipated sexual activity. The medication requires sexual stimulation to be effective and does not automatically induce an erection. It is commonly prescribed for patients with organic, psychogenic, or mixed-etiology ED, and may also be used off-label under specialist supervision for certain pulmonary hypertension cases, though this is not its primary indication.

Dosage and direction

The recommended starting dose of Tadora is 10mg, taken orally at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Based on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 20mg or decreased to 5mg. It should not be taken more than once per 24-hour period. Patients may take the tablet with or without food, though high-fat meals may delay the onset of action. For daily use regimens (lower dose, continuous administration), follow specific physician guidance. Do not crush or split the tablet.

Precautions

• Prior to use, patients should undergo a thorough medical evaluation to assess cardiovascular health, as sexual activity carries potential cardiac risk.
• Use with caution in patients with anatomical penile deformities, bleeding disorders, or active peptic ulceration.
• Avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as it may increase Tadalafil concentrations.
• Not recommended for use in patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment without dose adjustment and close monitoring.
• May cause dizziness or visual changes; avoid driving or operating machinery until individual response is known.

Contraindications

Tadora is contraindicated in patients:

• Using any form of organic nitrates or nitric oxide donors (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate)
• With a known hypersensitivity to Tadalafil or any excipients in the formulation
• Who have experienced non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in the past
• With severe cardiovascular instability, hypotension, or uncontrolled hypertension
• With retinitis pigmentosa or other hereditary retinal disorders

Possible side effects

Common side effects (usually mild to moderate and transient) may include:

• Headache
• Dyspepsia
• Back pain or myalgia
• Flushing
• Nasal congestion
• Dizziness

Less common but more serious adverse effects require immediate medical attention:

• Prolonged or painful erection (priapism) lasting more than 4 hours
• Sudden hearing loss or tinnitus
• Vision changes or loss
• Signs of cardiovascular events (chest pain, shortness of breath)

Drug interaction

Tadora may interact with:

• Nitrates: Concomitant use can cause severe hypotension.
• Alpha-blockers: Additive blood pressure-lowering effects; caution advised.
• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir): May increase Tadalafil exposure; dose adjustment necessary.
• Antihypertensives: Potential additive hypotensive effect.
• Alcohol: Excessive consumption may increase risk of hypotension and dizziness.

Missed dose

Tadora is taken on an as-needed basis; there is no scheduled dosing regimen. If a dose is missed, it may be taken when remembered, provided it is at least 24 hours before the next anticipated dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Overdose

In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may include severe headache, flushing, dizziness, fainting, or prolonged erection. Supportive measures should be instituted, including cardiovascular monitoring. Hemodialysis is not expected to significantly accelerate elimination.

Storage

Store at room temperature (15–30°C) in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
