Megalis 10 Tablet

Description

Product Description

Megalis 10mg Tablet is an oral medicine used to improve erectile function when sexual stimulation occurs. Tadalafil increases the availability of cyclic GMP in penile tissue, supporting relaxation of smooth muscle and blood flow needed for an erection.

The 10 mg strength is one of the doses used in tadalafil treatment for erectile dysfunction. Unlike medicines that directly affect sexual desire, Tadalafil works on the physical blood-flow mechanism involved in erection and requires sexual stimulation to produce its effect.

Uses

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men.
• Helps improve the ability to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.
• May be prescribed for erectile difficulties when Tadalafil is considered appropriate.

Key Benefits

• Contains Tadalafil 10 mg in an oral tablet.
• Supports the blood-flow response involved in erection.
• Can improve erectile function during sexual stimulation.
• Belongs to the PDE5 inhibitor class.
• Has a relatively prolonged duration of action compared with some other medicines in the same group.

How to Use

• Take Megalis 10mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water.
• It may be taken with or without food.
• When prescribed for erectile dysfunction, take it at the time recommended by your doctor in relation to sexual activity.
• Sexual stimulation is necessary for the medicine to work.
• Do not take more than the prescribed amount or use it more frequently than advised.
• Do not combine Megalis with another erectile-dysfunction medicine unless specifically directed by your doctor.

How It Works

Tadalafil inhibits phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5), an enzyme that breaks down cyclic GMP in penile tissue. Sexual stimulation activates nitric oxide signalling, which increases cyclic GMP and relaxes the smooth muscles in penile blood vessels. Tadalafil slows the breakdown of cyclic GMP, helping maintain the blood-flow response necessary for an erection. It does not cause sexual arousal on its own.

Side Effects

• Headache.
• Indigestion.
• Flushing.
• Back pain.
• Muscle aches.
• Nasal congestion.
• Dizziness.
• Nausea.
• Temporary visual disturbances may occur.

Seek urgent medical attention for chest pain, sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours.

Precautions & Warnings

• Do not take Tadalafil with nitrate medicines such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide preparations. The combination can cause a severe and potentially life-threatening fall in blood pressure.

• Inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, uncontrolled high blood pressure or an abnormal heart rhythm.
• Tell your doctor about kidney or liver disease before starting treatment.
• Inform your doctor if you have experienced sudden vision loss or have an eye disorder affecting the optic nerve.
• Alpha-blockers and other medicines that lower blood pressure may increase the risk of symptomatic hypotension.
• Do not combine Megalis with other PDE5 inhibitors unless specifically prescribed.
• Some medicines, including certain antifungals, antibiotics and HIV medicines, can increase or decrease Tadalafil levels.
• Excessive alcohol may increase dizziness and contribute to a fall in blood pressure.
• Tell your doctor if you have a condition that may increase the risk of priapism or prolonged erection.
• Seek immediate medical attention for an erection lasting more than 4 hours.
