Tadacip 20 Tablet is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It increases blood flow to the penis to help men get an erection. In PAH, it relaxes or widens the blood vessels inside the lungs, which reduces blood pressure in the lungs.

Tadacip 20 Tablet is used in the treatment of mild to moderate inability to get erection of the penis (erectile dysfunction)

Uses of Tadacip Tablet

Benefits of Tadacip Tablet

In Treatment of Erectile dysfunction

Tadacip 20 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis. This allows blood to flow into the penis and produce an erection when sexually aroused. This medicine will only help get an erection if you are sexually stimulated. It is very effective but needs to be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.

Do not take this medicine if you also take medicines called nitrates (often given for chest pain).

Side effects of Tadacip Tablet

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Use these for couple of months if not improved do few blood tests like thyroid, sugar and testosterone and let me know.
