01 / USE
Who determines the treatment regimen?
Your doctor determines the appropriate dose and frequency based on your health and other medicines. Tablets are taken by mouth with water; they may be taken with or without food.
02 / USE
Two approaches
Use as needed and a daily low-dose regimen are different. The 10 and 20 mg formulations are not recommended for continuous daily use. Do not replace a daily regimen with a higher dose yourself.
03 / USE
Preparing for a doctor's appointment
Prepare a list of medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. Disclose heart, kidney or liver disease. Do not take additional tablets yourself if the medicine's effect is insufficient.
04 / USE
Compare daily and as-needed regimens
| Topic | Daily approach | As-needed approach |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | Regular time | Before planned activity |
| Product information | Low-dose options | 10 / 20 mg options |
| Decision | Doctor's assessment | Doctor's assessment |
The table is not a personal prescription. A tablet given for one approach must not be used for the other approach on your own initiative.
05 / USE
If a dose is missed or too much is taken
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. If you have taken extra tablets, speak to a doctor or pharmacist promptly. Seek emergency help if symptoms are severe. Consult the leaflet in your own pack for the details of your regimen.
06 / USE
Food, alcohol and other products
Tablets may be taken with or without food. Excessive alcohol may increase the risk of low blood pressure and dizziness. Grapefruit and some medicines can affect tadalafil levels in the body. Include herbal products and supplements in your medicine list too.
07 / USE
What should you bring to a follow-up appointment?
You can keep a short record to help with the appointment:
- The name and prescribed strength of the product you use.
- When you take it and any symptoms you notice.
- Medicines you have recently started or stopped.
- Questions you want to ask your doctor.
Keeping a record is intended to provide accurate information at the appointment, not to change the dose yourself.
