What is Tadalafil?
This compounded preparation contains tadalafil formulated pursuant to an individual patient prescription.
How does Tadalafil work?
Tadalafil inhibits PDE5, relaxing smooth muscle and increasing blood flow in genital tissues. It has a longer duration of action than other agents in its class — effects can last up to 36 hours — making timing more flexible.
How to use Tadalafil
Take as directed by your prescriber. May be taken with or without food. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
Tadalafil side effects
Headache, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion may occur. Back and limb pain are more frequently reported with tadalafil than with other PDE5 inhibitors and usually resolve within 12–24 hours.
Drug interactions with Tadalafil
Nitrates are an absolute contraindication (severe blood pressure drop risk). Use caution with alpha-blockers — hypotension may occur. Inform all healthcare providers you take tadalafil, especially before starting new cardiovascular or blood pressure medications.
How to store Tadalafil
Store at room temperature away from heat, moisture, and direct light.
Precautions for Tadalafil
Do not combine with nitrates or alpha-blockers without prescriber guidance. Seek immediate medical attention for an erection lasting more than 4 hours. Keep out of reach of children.
