Tadapox

Common use

Tadapox is a combination medicine designed for treatment of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. It consists of two main components: Tadalafil and Dapoxetine. Tadalafil is famous thanks to a brand medication Cialis, while Dapoxetine is a new word in medicine. The combinatory effect of those substances is beyond expectations: while Tadalafil grants powerful and stable erection, Dapoxetine prevents premature ejaculation and prolongs the effect of the medication, making Tadapox effective during 36 hours after taking.



Dosage and direction

Only patients with erectile dysfunction or impotence should take Tadapox. For healthy people, there is no need to take the drug, because it won’t help them in case they have psychic-based problems with erection. One should not take Tadapox together with fat food or alcohol, because it can reduce the efficiency of the drug. Usual dosage of Tadapox is one tablet per day, an hour before sexual activity.



Precautions

Thoroughly read and follow the instructions included into package. Note, that Tadapox cannot treat any sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. It’s also important to share your medical record during the taking of Tadapox with your doctor. Regular medical control makes your treatment with Tadapox especially safe and effective.



Contraindications

People with a history of cardiovascular or hepatic diseases should have a thorough consultation with the doctor before they are allowed to take Tadapox. Hypersensitivity to any of the drug’s components is also a contraindication.



Possible side effect

Most common adverse effects of Tadapox include nausea, vomiting, flushes, head redness, body pain and dizziness. Patients are also disposed to the risk of heart problems and stomach ulcer. The most serious adverse effects of the drug manifest in case of misreading or ignoring precautions and instructions, and avoiding consultation with a doctor, or overdose as well. In this case, patients can face serious heart diseases, hepatotoxicity, diarrhea, hearing impairments and other dangerous symptoms. If you get any of those while taking Tadapox, you should immediately contact your doctor for medical help.



Drug interaction

The list of counteraction drugs for Tadapox includes nitrate based drugs before all. There are no circumstances under which the patient can take Tadapox together with such medications. It’s also forbidden to take Tadapox together with antihypertensive drugs, because it may cause severe hypotension.



Missed dose

Even if you have missed your daily dose of Tadapox, you shouldn’t take more than one tablet of it daily. Just ignore the missed dose and continue taking your medication as prescribed.

Overdose

If you have taken more than one tablet of Tadapox during a day, you may experience headaches, nausea, chest pain and flushes. In case of those symptoms, immediately contact your medical care specialist.



Storage

Keep away from children. Store the medication in a dark dry place at room temperatures.
