 What Is Tadalis SX?
A generic version of Tadalifil, Tadalis SX is a drug in tablet form that is used to treat men's erectile dysfunction. Although chemically similar with Tadalifil, Tadalis SX does not look the same in terms of color, shape, and packaging.
Doctors will prescribe the intake of Tadalis SX to help men get a full erection and maintain that after sexual excitement or stimulation. Although the drug is used to treat erectile dysfunction, it must be noted that it does not in any way provide protection from sexually transmitted diseases, nor will it prevent pregnancy.
How Does Tadalis SX Work?
Tadalis SX belongs to a drug group containing phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. It works by relaxing or dilating the blood vessels and relaxing the smooth muscles of the penis when you are sexually stimulated or excited. This then allows increased blood flow in the penis that further triggers a full erection.

The effect remains for the next 4 hours in your body. It is recommended that you take Tadalis SX with an empty stomach and with a glass of water. This should only be taken once daily.

What Should I Discuss with My Doctor Before Taking Tadalis SX?
- Vital Signs and Information. Increased blood pressure and heart rate should serve as a warning when taking Tadalis SX. Age and weight are likewise important since they help determine the dosage to be given or if it should be given at all. If you are 18 years old and below you would not be allowed to take this drug. If you are above 65, you will either have the lower dose or would be discouraged to take the medication. The intake of the drug will be largely dependent on your overall health condition as examined by your doctor.
- Allergies. Discuss with your doctor any allergy in food, dyes, fabric, and especially medication. This way your doctor will be fully aware if you will be allowed to take Tadalis SX or not.
- Current Medications. Inform your doctor what medication, supplement, or herbs you are currently taking. That way he would know if any of these will have any interaction with Tadalis SX. Taking of nitrates is a very essential information that your doctor should know because those who are under nitrates medication are strictly prohibited from taking Tadalis SX.
- Heart or Blood Vessel Disorders. These disorders sometimes indicate the patient to be discouraged from engaging in sexual activity since this may worsen their problem or cause death, therefore intake of Tadalis SX will not be allowed. Sex is a very demanding activity that a weak and sick heart may not be able to take.
- If you have current or a history of eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa and ischemic optic neuropathy, you will most likely be prohibited from taking the medication. These are conditions that can lead to blindness, and taking Tadalis SX may hasten the process of vision loss.
What Should I Avoid While Taking Tadalis SX?
- Avoid large heavy meals, especially foods that contain high fat because it slows down the functioning of the drug.
- Avoid taking alcohol while on Tadalis SX treatment. Not only will it produce negative effects, it also lessens the chance of getting a full erection.
