Megalis 20 Tablet

Description

Product Description

Megalis 20mg Tablet belongs to the phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitor group. Tadalafil helps improve penile blood flow when a man is sexually stimulated, making an erection easier to achieve and maintain.

The medicine does not increase sexual desire and does not produce an erection without sexual stimulation. Because Tadalafil has a relatively long duration of action, its effects can extend well beyond the time of administration. The 20 mg strength should be used according to the individual treatment plan prescribed by the doctor.

Uses

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men.
• Helps improve erectile response during sexual stimulation.
• May also be prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms when considered appropriate by a doctor.

• Supports penile blood flow during sexual stimulation.
• Can help men with erectile dysfunction achieve and maintain an erection.
• Has a comparatively long duration of action among PDE5 inhibitors.
• Convenient tablet formulation for prescribed treatment.

How to Use

• Take Megalis 20mg 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 advised by your doctor in relation to sexual activity.
• Sexual stimulation is required for the medicine to work.
• Do not take it more frequently or in a higher amount than prescribed.
• Do not combine it with other erectile-dysfunction medicines unless directed by your doctor.

How It Works

Tadalafil inhibits phosphodiesterase type-5, an enzyme that breaks down cyclic GMP in penile tissue. During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide signalling increases cyclic GMP, which relaxes smooth muscle and allows greater blood flow into the penis. By slowing cyclic GMP breakdown, Tadalafil supports this natural erectile response. It does not directly create sexual arousal and cannot produce an erection without sexual stimulation.
