Vidalista 2.5 mg

When prescribed for a suitable patient, daily tadalafil may:

• Improve the ability to get an erection

• Help maintain an erection during sex

• Reduce the need to time a tablet before each sexual encounter

• Fit into a simple once-daily routine

Results vary. Vidalista manages erection difficulties but does not permanently cure every underlying cause of ED.

During sexual stimulation, the body sends signals that relax blood vessels in the penis. This allows more blood to enter and helps an erection develop.

Tadalafil blocks an enzyme called PDE5, which normally breaks down one of these signals. By helping the signal last longer, it supports the blood flow needed to get and maintain an erection.

The medicine supports the body's response to stimulation. It does not keep the penis erect throughout the day.

The usual starting dose of tadalafil for daily erectile dysfunction treatment is 2.5 mg once a day, taken at approximately the same time each day. A doctor may increase it to 5 mg once daily depending on the response and side effects.

Swallow the prescribed tablet with water. It can be taken with or without food. Do not take an extra tablet before sex or increase the dose yourself.

Daily tadalafil reaches steady levels in the bloodstream after about five days. This does not guarantee results by day five; your doctor may need to review how well treatment is working.

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one. In that case, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose or take more than one dose a day.

Common side effects

Vidalista 2.5 mg may cause headache, indigestion, facial flushing, a blocked nose, back pain or muscle aches. Some people feel dizzy. Speak to your doctor if symptoms bother you or do not settle, and avoid driving while dizzy.

Serious side effects

Stop taking the medicine and get urgent medical help for sudden loss of vision or hearing, chest pain, fainting or signs of a severe allergic reaction. An erection lasting more than four hours requires emergency treatment, even if it is not painful.

If chest pain occurs, do not take a nitrate medicine yourself. Tell emergency staff that you take tadalafil and when you last took it.

Do not take Vidalista if you:

• Are allergic to tadalafil or any tablet ingredient

• Take nitrate medicines such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide

• Use recreational nitrites, often called poppers

• Take riociguat

• Have been advised to avoid sex because of a heart condition

Daily tadalafil is not recommended for people with severe kidney impairment or those receiving dialysis. It is also not recommended in severe liver impairment.

Seek medical assessment before treatment if you have:

• A recent heart attack or stroke

• Unstable chest pain or serious heart problems

• Very low or uncontrolled high blood pressure

• Previous vision loss caused by reduced blood flow to the optic nerve

• Sickle cell disease, leukemia or multiple myeloma

• A curved penis or a history of prolonged erections

Vidalista 2.5 mg is not intended for children or for treating sexual difficulties in women.

Tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you use. Important interactions include:

• Nitrates and poppers: Can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure

• Riociguat: Must not be combined with tadalafil

• Alpha-blockers and blood pressure medicines: May increase dizziness or fainting

• Ketoconazole, itraconazole and ritonavir: Can increase tadalafil levels

• Rifampicin, carbamazepine and phenytoin: May reduce its effect

• Sildenafil, vardenafil and other tadalafil products: Do not combine with Vidalista on your own

Avoid grapefruit juice. Drinking too much alcohol can increase dizziness and lower blood pressure, as well as make erection problems worse.
