So let’s move on and take a look at tadalafil uses, how it works, its side effects, foods to avoid while taking tadalafil, and many more. 

Hang tight till the conclusion.

What Is Tadalafil?

As we said earlier, tadalafil is the generic version of Cialis also known as ‘The weekend pill’ (a brand tablet) which belongs to the class of phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors. Generally used to treat Erectile Dysfunction or impotence in men. Very few people know this but tadalafil is also prescribed to patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. 

Tadalafil was released on the market in 2003, a lot longer after viagra by a pharma company called ‘Eli Lilly’, which is recently in talks because of its new weight loss medicine called ‘Tirzepatide’. 

There are two formulations of tadalafil: one that may be taken “as needed” and another that can be used every day.  

Though viagra is the oldest known drug for ED most men prefer generic cialis over viagra because of the outweighing advantages. Like, Tadalafil works faster than sildenafil(viagra), you can take this tablet 30 minutes before engaging in hot and steamy sex while it is usually 60 minutes for viagra. You can also try Vidalista 60 and Vidalista Black 80 from medicscales.

The most important thing is the effects of Tadalafil last upto 36 hours while viagra stays in the system for 24 hours only. In short the former gives the best spontaneity. 

How Does Tadalafil Work?

Basically, there is a certain enzyme called PDE5 (phosphodiesterase) in the male genitals which contracts the Blood vessels in the testicles impairing the proper blood flow to the penis. The chemical compounds in this drug inhibit the function of this enzyme thus increasing the blood flow to the penis and enabling a firm erection. 

Other Ed pills such as Sidalist and Tadacip 20 also work identically.

However, to make it work you may need some kind of physical stimulation. Tadalafil works by assisting in the relaxation of the erectile tissue and the blood vessels in your penis, which then permits blood to flow into your penis during an ecstatic sexual encounter. The erection you get when you’re sexually aroused can be significantly improved, but it has little effect on your desire to engage in sexual activity. 

Foods To Avoid While On Tadalafil

1. Fatty Food

First of all, tadalafil can be taken with or without food. However, meals can delay the effects of drugs. If you want it to work faster take it without foods although light food won’t hurt much.

The active component of Cialis(Tadalafil) can be blocked by a heavy or high-fat diet, which can reduce the effectiveness of the medication for erections. Absorption is postponed by nearly an hour if Viagra is taken with a high-fat meal.

If you do intend to eat before having Tadalafil, make sure it is some light food such as your breakfast or lunch so that your body has time to digest the food and allow the drug to quickly and easily enter the bloodstream after.

2. Grapefruits

Another such food is grapefruit. The body’s ability to absorb Viagra could also be hampered or delayed by grapefruit juice.

An enzyme called CYP3A4 that grapefruit can inhibit or hinders the absorption of several drugs, including tadalafil, in the digestive system. Grapefruit will also have an effect on how Vidalista 40 or Tadapox works.

The adverse effects of combining grapefruit juice and Viagra may include headaches, flushing, or a sudden drop in blood pressure.

Be sure to discuss eating grapefruit products with your doctor. In fact, get the leaflet which includes all the food items that are safe to consume and what to avoid.

3. Alcohol

Alcohol works in the same way as grapefruit juice, or even more adversely. In fact, alcoholism is one of the leading causes of ED in men. 

However, men also believe consuming alcohol helps them in getting desires but it should be consumed within a limit.

In a study involving over 300 erectile dysfunction patients, it was discovered that drinking more alcohol than usual increased the risk of headaches and flushes from  ED pills.

Drugs To Avoid With Tadalafil

So far we discussed the foods that can adversely react with Tadalafil, now we will take a look at the medications that interact with generic Cialis. 

1. Nitrates Or Angina Medicines

Nitrate is a class of medicines used for treating angina i.e, is a kind of chest pain that is caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart. Coronary artery disease’s early warning symptom is angina.

If you take nitrate-containing angina medications, your blood pressure will decrease suddenly. Nitrates might cause fainting or dizziness when used with an ED medication.

2. HIV Medications

This medication contains nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors which should be strictly avoided with tadalafil. Otherwise, it can lead to vision issues, fainting or dizziness, or even low BP.

3. Alpha-Blockers

Also known as adrenoreceptor antagonists belong to the class that functions as antagonists on -adrenergic receptors. a medication that eases blood vessels and prostate gland muscular tissue, improving the flow of blood and urine. The side effects include the same as above. 

4. Stomach Acid Medicines

Tadalafil may not get absorbed correctly in your body if you also take stomach acid-reducing medications. It is advised to avoid using stomach acid medications with tadalafil.

5. Epilepsy Drugs

Epilepsy drug contains an active compound called Carbamazepine which doesn’t go well with tadalafil or even Tadalista 20, and Super tadapox.

Anti-seizure drugs will reduce the effects of Ed pills.

6. Antibiotics And Antifungal

Certain antibiotics may increase the concentration of Tadalafil in your bloodstream if you take them along with Tadalafil. Tadalafil and antibiotic use together has been linked to high blood pressure, fainting, eyesight issues, and dizziness.

7. Allergy-Related Medications

Before taking any medication tell your doctor all the things you are allergic to so that your doc can prescribe you medicine that is safe for you. If you are allergic to Tadalafil they might prescribe you sildenafil citrate. 

8. Anti-Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Drugs:

It is advised against using generic Cialis with other pulmonary arterial hypertension medications since they have a quick blood pressure-lowering effect that can leave you feeling uneasy and lightheaded.

9. Other ED Medications

It would be helpful to let your doctor know if you are using any other erectile dysfunction medications. Tadalafil can cause more negative effects if taken with other ED medications.

Conclusion

Tadalafil is exceptional, it can be used daily or as needed, which eliminates the need for preparation and promotes spontaneity. Additionally, it is not impacted by food, and because it is no longer under patent, it is far less expensive than Cialis.

Tadalafil will likely surpass sildenafil because of its outweighing advantages.
