Tadalis SX 20mg (Tadalafil 20mg)

Tadalis SX 20mg

Tadalis SX 20mg Tablet is a medicine used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (a condition that occurs when a man has difficulty in getting and/or keeping an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse). It is also used to treat urinary symptoms caused due to an enlargement of the prostate gland (a walnut-sized gland located just below the bladder that secretes fluid to nourish and transport the sperm) in older men.

Tadalis SX 20mg Tablet works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, increasing the flow of blood to the penis. This medicine also relaxes the muscles present in the prostate gland and bladder thereby, improving the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate gland.

Most of these side effects are temporary and may subside with time. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Uses of Tadalis SX 20mg Tablet

What is it prescribed for?
Erectile Dysfuntion
Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a condition in which a man is unable to achieve and/or maintain an erection adequate for sexual intercourse. It happens when there is a decreased blood flow to the penis. The decreased blood flow may be due to physical complications following an injury or disorder or due to some psychological conditions such as anxiety, stress, depression, etc. Chronic lifestyle factors such as obesity, smoking, drinking, etc., could also contribute to ED. Tadalis Sx 20 MG Tablet is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland (a walnut-sized gland located just below the bladder that secretes fluid to nourish and transport the sperm). As the prostate surrounds the urethra (a tube that carries urine out of your body), an increase in the size of the prostate may lead to symptoms such as difficulty in urination, weak urinary stream, frequent urination, loss of bladder control, etc. Tadalis Sx 20 MG Tablet helps to treat the urinary symptoms associated with BPH.
