Who qualifies for Tadalafil

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess every patient to ensure Tadalafil is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including your medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions. Generally, Tadalafil is prescribed for erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Contraindications: You will likely not qualify if you have severe heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, a history of stroke or heart attack, or take nitrate medications (often used for chest pain). Always inform the doctor about all your medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as Tadalafil can interact negatively with certain substances. The doctor prioritises your safety and will only issue a prescription if it's medically sound for your specific situation.

What Tadalafil actually does (and doesn't do)

Tadalafil, commonly known by the brand name Cialis, is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in your blood vessel walls, which increases blood flow to specific areas of the body. For ED, this means easier to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. For BPH, it helps relax muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urinary flow.

What it does: Tadalafil can significantly improve erectile function and relieve BPH symptoms. Its effects can last up to 36 hours, earning it the nickname "the weekend pill."

What it doesn't do: Tadalafil is not an aphrodisiac; it does not create sexual desire. It requires sexual stimulation to work for ED. It also doesn't cure ED or BPH, but rather manages the symptoms. It will not protect you against sexually transmitted infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Tadalafil can cause side effects. Understanding these helps you manage your treatment safely. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and muscle aches. Back pain is a less common but reported side effect, believed to be related to muscle relaxation and increased blood flow.

Managing Back Pain: If you experience back pain, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help. Applying heat or ice, and gentle stretching can also provide relief. If the pain is severe, persistent, or significantly impacts your quality of life, you must inform your doctor. They may suggest dosage adjustments or explore alternative treatments.

When to stop: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden vision loss, hearing loss, an erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism), or chest pain. These are serious side effects that require urgent care. Always discuss any concerning side effects with your Hi-Doctor.ai medical professional through your private in-app chat.
