Tadora

Tadora is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction and male impotence. It is a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor. Tadora is manufactured by German Remedies. The active ingredient in Tadora is Tadalafil. Tadora is available in 20 mg and 40 mg tablets. The recommended dose is one 20 mg tablet taken with or without food, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.

Tadalafil in Tadora relaxes muscles of the blood vessels and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body. Tadalafil under the name of Tadora is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) and symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate). Another brand of tadalafil is Adcirca, which is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and improve exercise capacity in men and women. Do not take Tadora if you are also using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems, including nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, and some recreational drugs such as "poppers". Taking Tadora with a nitrate medicine can cause a sudden and serious decrease in blood pressure.

Before taking Tadora, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: heart problems (such as heart attack or life-threatening irregular heartbeat in the past 6 months, chest pain/angina, heart failure), stroke in the past 6 months, kidney disease (dialysis), liver disease, high or low blood pressure, a severe loss of body water (dehydration), penis conditions (such as angulation, fibrosis/scarring, Peyronie's disease), history of painful/prolonged erection (priapism), conditions that may increase the risk of priapism (such as sickle cell anemia, leukemia, multiple myeloma), eye problems (such as retinitis pigmentosa, sudden decreased vision, NAION), bleeding disorders, active stomach ulcers. This drug may make you dizzy. Alcohol or marijuana (cannabis) can make you more dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs alertness until you can do it safely. Limit alcoholic beverages. Talk to your doctor if you are using marijuana (cannabis).

To make sure Tadora is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had: heart disease or heart rhythm problems; a heart attack or stroke; angina (chest pain), high or low blood pressure; pulmonary hypertension; liver or kidney disease; blood cell problems such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia; a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia; a blood cell disorder such as leukemia or multiple myeloma; a stomach ulcer; retinitis pigmentosa (an inherited condition of the eye); a physical deformity of the penis (such as Peyronie's disease); or if you have been told you should not have sexual intercourse for health reasons.

Tadalafil is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

It is not known whether tadalafil passes into breast milk or if it could affect the nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding.

Tadora is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old.

Tadalafil can decrease blood flow to the optic nerve of the eye, causing sudden vision loss. This has occurred in a small number of people, most of whom also had heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or certain pre-existing eye problems, and in those who smoked or were over 50 years old.

It is not clear whether tadalafil is the actual cause of vision loss. Stop taking Tadora and call your doctor at once if you have sudden vision loss.

Rarely, a sudden decrease or loss of hearing, sometimes with ringing in the ears and dizziness, may occur. Stop taking Tadora and call your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms.

In rare instances, men taking prescription ED tablets, including Tadora, reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision in one or both eyes or a sudden decrease or loss of hearing. It isn't possible to determine if these events are related directly to the ED tablets or to other factors. If you experience these symptoms, stop taking Tadora and contact a doctor right away.

You could be having a serious side effect of Tadora. Stop taking Tadora and call your doctor at once if you have:

• a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out;
• an erection is painful or lasts longer than 4 hours (prolonged erection can damage the penis);
• vision changes or sudden vision loss;
• ringing in your ears or sudden hearing loss;
