Apcalis-SX Oral Jelly 20 mg is a prescription medicine that contains tadalafil 20 mg, a PDE-5 inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. The oral jelly formulation is intended for people who prefer not to swallow tablets.
Key points:
Use: Helps achieve and maintain an erection when there is sexual stimulation; it does not cause an automatic erection.
How to take: Usually one 20 mg sachet, taken about 30 minutes before sexual activity. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours unless your doctor has instructed otherwise.
Duration: Effects may last up to 36 hours, although this does not mean a continuous erection.
Common side effects: Headache, facial flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, back pain, and muscle aches.
Do not use if you take nitrate medications (such as nitroglycerin) or riociguat, because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Use caution if you have significant heart disease, liver or kidney disease, or are taking blood pressure medications.
Seek urgent medical care if you experience:
An erection lasting more than 4 hours
Sudden loss of vision or hearing
Chest pain during or after taking the medicine
If you have questions about whether Apcalis-SX is appropriate for you, or about interactions with other medications you're taking, let me know your age and any regular medicines or health conditions.
