Who qualifies for Tadalafil

Doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Tadalafil is safe and effective for you. Tadalafil is generally prescribed for erectile dysfunction (ED). Key considerations include your medical history, current medications, and overall health. Contraindications typically include certain heart conditions, recent stroke or heart attack, low blood pressure, or taking nitrate medications. Your licensed EU doctor will individually review your medical questionnaire to determine if Tadalafil is an appropriate treatment for you.

What Tadalafil actually does (and doesn't do)

Tadalafil, a PDE5 inhibitor, works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping you achieve and maintain an erection. It does not automatically cause an erection; sexual arousal is still necessary. Its effects can last up to 36 hours, which is why it's often called "the weekend pill." Generally, Tadalafil starts working within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Factors like food intake, dosage, and individual metabolism can influence this timing. It's important to have realistic expectations and understand that Tadalafil aids natural processes, it doesn't create them.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Tadalafil can have side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, muscle aches, and back pain. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects can include sudden vision or hearing loss. If you experience any severe reactions, such as chest pain or a prolonged erection (priapism) lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will discuss potential risks with you during your online consultation.
