Tadarise
In brief
- Tadarise (tadalafil) is not licensed in the UK; licensed tadalafil medicines are prescription-only medicines (POM).
- Tadarise (tadalafil) is used to treat erectile dysfunction and, in combo form (Super Tadarise), for premature ejaculation; it is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that enhances cGMP-mediated smooth muscle relaxation and increases penile blood flow.
- The usual dose for erectile dysfunction is 10–20 mg as needed (taken 30–60 minutes before sexual activity, not more than once daily); elderly patients often start at 10 mg; Super Tadarise combo contains tadalafil 20 mg plus dapoxetine 60 mg as indicated.
- Administered orally as tablets (5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg), effervescent tablets and combination tablets; commonly supplied in blister packs (e.g. 1×4, 1×10, 7 per pack or 10×10).
- Onset of action is typically 30–60 minutes after dosing.
- The duration of effect can last up to 36 hours.
- Avoid excessive alcohol when taking tadalafil — alcohol can increase dizziness, fainting and impair the drug’s effectiveness; also be aware that tadalafil must not be taken with nitrates due to severe hypotension risk.
- The most common side effect is headache; other frequent effects include dyspepsia, back pain, myalgia, nasal congestion, flushing and dizziness.

How tadalafil (Tadarise) works — practical pharmacology
Mechanism explained for patients
How does tadalafil help get and maintain an erection?
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.
Sexual stimulation is required for tadalafil to produce an erection; it does not cause spontaneous erections without arousal.
Onset, peak and duration in real use
What timing should men expect when planning sexual activity?
Onset is commonly reported between 30 and 60 minutes for on‑demand dosing, with a broad window of activity lasting up to 36 hours.
Peak plasma concentrations vary by individual, but the extended duration compared with sildenafil gives couples a more comfortable planning window.
Inter‑patient factors such as age, comorbidities and concomitant medicines can alter onset and effective dose.
Suggested timing guidance:
- Take tadalafil 30–60 minutes before sexual activity for on‑demand dosing.
- Large meals do not markedly change tadalafil’s efficacy, but very high‑fat meals may delay onset.
- A moderate amount of alcohol is acceptable, but excessive drinking increases risk of dizziness and reduced effectiveness.
Indications, appropriate use and patient selection
Primary indication: erectile dysfunction (ED)
Who is tadalafil intended for?
Tadalafil is indicated for erectile dysfunction in adult men and is not indicated for women or children.
Standard on‑demand dosing for ED is 10–20 mg taken before sexual activity, not more than once daily.
Combo indication: premature ejaculation (super Tadarise)
When is the combo tablet appropriate?
Super Tadarise combines tadalafil 20 mg with dapoxetine 60 mg to address comorbid ED and premature ejaculation in men where both conditions coexist.
Clinical assessment and prescription are required to ensure the combo is suitable and safe for the patient.
Patient suitability checklist:
- Age 18 or older.
- No current use of nitrates.
- Cardiovascular status reviewed and stable for sexual activity.
- Renal and hepatic function assessed where impairment is suspected.
Dosing guidance and practical administration advice
Typical dosing regimens (on‑demand)
How should patients take Tadarise tablets for best effect?
Usual on‑demand dose for adults is 10–20 mg taken 30–60 minutes before sexual activity, with a maximum of one dose in 24 hours.
Elderly patients and those with mild to moderate renal or hepatic impairment should start at 10 mg and titrate cautiously as tolerated.
Special populations and dose adjustments
What adjustments are needed for older patients or organ impairment?
Start elderly patients (>65 years) at 10 mg and increase only if needed and tolerated.
Avoid use in severe renal impairment or severe hepatic impairment unless a specialist advises otherwise.
How to take (concise checklist):
- Take one tablet 30–60 minutes before activity.
- Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours.
- Can be taken with or without food.
- Avoid excessive alcohol the night you plan to take tadalafil.
Contraindications, absolute and relative precautions
Absolute contraindications (nitrates, hypersensitivity)
What situations make tadalafil unsafe?
Tadalafil must not be used by anyone taking nitrates in any form because the combination can cause severe hypotension.
Hypersensitivity to tadalafil or any ingredient in the product is an absolute contraindication.
Unstable cardiovascular disease or recent myocardial infarction or stroke also contraindicate use.
Relative cautions and required checks
When should a prescriber or pharmacist be cautious?
Use caution in patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment, significant heart disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, retinitis pigmentosa or penile anatomical deformities.
Pharmacists in the UK should verify current nitrate use and cardiovascular history before supply and refer to a GP if there are unresolved concerns.
Side effects, frequency and management in primary care
Common adverse effects and expected timeline
What side effects do patients typically experience and how long do they last?
Common side effects recorded include headache, dyspepsia, back pain, muscle aches, nasal congestion and flushing.
Most adverse events are mild to moderate and resolve within 24–48 hours.
When to seek urgent care (priapism, vision/hearing loss)
Which reactions require immediate medical attention?
Seek urgent care for priapism, defined as an erection lasting more than four hours, because permanent injury can result.
Also seek immediate medical attention for sudden vision loss, sudden hearing decrease or ringing in the ears, chest pain or fainting.
| Common adverse events | Serious events and action |
|---|---|
| Headache, flushing, nasal congestion, dyspepsia. | Priapism (>4 hours): Attend emergency department immediately. |
| Back pain, myalgia, dizziness, visual disturbances. | Sudden vision or hearing loss: Stop drug and see urgent care. |
Drug interactions and medication review checklist
Key dangerous interactions (nitrates, alpha‑blockers)
Which medicines must never be combined with tadalafil?
Nitrates are an absolute contraindication due to the risk of severe hypotension.
Coadministration with some alpha‑blockers can cause symptomatic hypotension and requires specialist advice and careful timing.
Other notable interactions (CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers)
What other medicines affect tadalafil exposure?
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ritonavir and ketoconazole increase tadalafil levels and may require dose adjustment or avoidance.
Strong CYP3A4 inducers may reduce tadalafil effectiveness.
Comparing Tadarise with other tadalafil products
Practical differences
How does Tadarise stack up against other tadalafil brands?
Main differences are packaging and the availability of combination formulations such as Super Tadarise, which pairs tadalafil with dapoxetine.
Other tadalafil products include generics such as Tadacip and Vidalista, while other PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil or vardenafil offer alternative profiles for onset and duration.
Clinical equivalence and what matters to patients
Are generics as effective as the originator?
Clinical equivalence centres on the active ingredient tadalafil, so generics should match the therapeutic effect when manufactured to standards.
Excipients and manufacturing quality can vary, so sourcing from reputable pharmacies matters to patients.
| Product | Active ingredient | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tadarise | Tadalafil | Not licensed in the UK; combination available as Super Tadarise. |
| Vidalista / Tadacip | Tadalafil | Other generic tadalafil products. |

What steps should a patient take on receipt of a delivery?
