Vidalista 80 Mg tadalafil

Description

Vidalista 80 mg (Tadalafil) — Full Product Information

Important: Vidalista 80 mg is marketed as a tadalafil-containing product, but 80 mg is not a standard tadalafil dose for erectile dysfunction in major prescribing information. Standard tadalafil tablets for ED are generally available in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg strengths, with 20 mg as the usual maximum as-needed dose. Because of this, Vidalista 80 mg should not be treated as equivalent to an approved 20 mg tadalafil product, and use of an 80 mg dose should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.

1. Product Overview

2. What is Tadalafil?

Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor used for erectile dysfunction. It works by inhibiting PDE-5, helping maintain levels of cyclic GMP and increasing blood flow to the penis when sexual stimulation occurs.

Tadalafil does not automatically produce an erection and does not increase sexual desire; sexual stimulation is still required.

3. Uses

Tadalafil is medically used for:

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• ED associated with BPH
• Certain formulations/doses are also used for pulmonary arterial hypertension

For ED, prescribing information recommends an as-needed starting dose of 10 mg, adjustable to 5 mg or 20 mg depending on effectiveness and tolerability. It should not be taken more than once per day.

4. How Tadalafil Works

Tadalafil inhibits PDE-5, an enzyme involved in the breakdown of cGMP. During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide signaling increases cGMP, causing smooth-muscle relaxation and increased blood flow into penile tissue. PDE-5 inhibition helps sustain this response.

5. Duration of Action

Tadalafil has a relatively long duration of action. Approved prescribing information states that a single as-needed dose can improve erectile function up to 36 hours after dosing.

This does not mean that an erection remains for 36 hours.

6. How to Take Tadalafil for ED

For approved tadalafil products, the usual as-needed regimen is:

• Starting dose: 10 mg
• May be adjusted to 5 mg or 20 mg
• Take before anticipated sexual activity
• No more than once daily
• Can be taken with or without food

Vidalista 80 mg should not be self-dosed according to these instructions because 80 mg exceeds the standard approved ED dosing range.

7. Common Side Effects

Tadalafil may cause:

• Headache
• Indigestion/dyspepsia
• Back pain
• Muscle aches
• Nasal congestion
• Flushing
• Pain in the limbs

Higher tadalafil exposure can increase the likelihood or severity of adverse effects.

8. Serious Warnings

Seek urgent medical attention for:

• An erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism)
• Sudden loss or significant decrease of vision
• Sudden hearing loss or significant hearing impairment
• Severe dizziness or fainting
• Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction

The prescribing information specifically warns about prolonged erections, sudden vision problems and sudden hearing impairment.

9. Who Should NOT Take Tadalafil?

Tadalafil is contraindicated with organic nitrates, including nitrate medicines used for angina, because the combination can cause a potentially dangerous drop in blood pressure. Nitrates should not be used within 48 hours after tadalafil.

It is also contraindicated with guanylate cyclase stimulators such as riociguat and in people with a serious hypersensitivity to tadalafil.

10. Important Drug Interactions

Tell your doctor/pharmacist if you use:

• Nitroglycerin or other nitrate medicines
• Riociguat
• Alpha-blockers
• Blood-pressure medicines
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
• Other PDE-5 inhibitors, such as sildenafil or vardenafil
• Other erectile-dysfunction treatments

Combining PDE-5 inhibitors is not recommended.

11. Alcohol

Large amounts of alcohol can increase the likelihood of dizziness, low blood pressure, headache and other adverse effects when combined with tadalafil. Avoid excessive alcohol.

12. Food

Tadalafil can generally be taken with or without food.

13. Storage

Store the medicine:

• At room temperature
• Away from excessive heat and moisture
• Away from direct sunlight
• Out of reach of children

Follow the storage instructions printed on the actual product packaging.

14. Vidalista 80 mg Safety Note

The most important point about this product is its 80 mg strength. Official tadalafil prescribing information lists 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg tablets for ED, and recommends a maximum as-needed dose of 20 mg.

Therefore, 80 mg tadalafil is substantially above the standard approved ED dosing range. It should not be promoted as a routine or “stronger” version of tadalafil, and patients should not take 80 mg simply because lower doses have been ineffective.

Product Summary

Vidalista 80 mg is a tadalafil-containing oral medicine marketed for erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil belongs to the PDE-5 inhibitor class and works by improving blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. However, 80 mg is above the standard tadalafil dosing range used for ED, where approved products generally use doses from 2.5 mg to 20 mg. Patients should consult a qualified healthcare professional before using high-strength tadalafil.
