Tadalafil is a medicine used to treat the physical problem of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help a majority of men with erectile dysfunction get and keep an erection when they become sexually excited. Tadalafil does not cause erections directly but affects the response to sexual stimulation. It.s not an aphrodisiac or a hormone.

General

Tadalafil is taken orally when needed between 24 hours and half and hour before sexual activity. Take only as directed, usually once daily as needed. Tadalafil works along with sexual stimulation to help achieve an erection.

You should have a complete medical history and exam to determine the cause of your impotence before taking Tadalafil. Men who have medical conditions that may cause a sustained erection such as sickle cell anemia, leukemia or multiple myeloma or who have an abnormally shaped penis may not be able to take Tadalafil. There are several medications that are known to interact with Tadalafil, so be sure to tell your doctor about all medications you are taking including those you can get without a prescription. Tadalafil has not been studied with other treatments for impotence, so use in combination with other treatments is not recommended. Limit alcohol intake, as it may aggravate side effects of this drug.To avoid dizziness and lightheadedness when rising from a seated or lying position, get up slowly. The elderly may be more sensitive to the side effects of Tadalafil; therefore caution is advised in this group.
