Guía de Salud Masculina
Tadalafil 20 mg is a medication. Here are some important aspects:
Medical uses
Erectile dysfunction (ED)
- Tadalafil helps relax the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis. This allows increased blood flow into the penis during sexual stimulation, enabling an erection.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
- In men with BPH, tadalafil can help relax the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urinary symptoms such as difficulty in starting urination, weak urine flow, and the need to urinate frequently.
How to take
- It is typically taken orally, with or without food. However, fatty foods may delay the onset of action.
- The time of action can vary. It may start to work within 30 minutes to 2 hours, and its effects can last up to 36 hours, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the "weekend pill."
3. Precautions and side effects
Precautions
- It should not be used in combination with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin) as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
- Men with certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, or liver/kidney problems may need special medical evaluation before using tadalafil.
Side effects
- Common side effects may include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and nasal congestion.
- Less common but more serious side effects can include sudden vision or hearing loss (although these are very rare).
It is important that tadalafil is used under the supervision of a healthcare provider who can assess the individual's medical history, current medications, and overall health to ensure its safe and effective use.
