TADACIP 20 мг №10

TADACIP 20 mg (Pack of 10) is a high-quality generic containing Tadalafil (20 mg). This medication is known worldwide as "the weekend pill" due to its unique duration of action—up to 36 hours. The 20 mg dosage is the maximum standard dose, and the Pack of 10 (ten tablets) provides an economical supply for regular use.

What is TADACIP and its main advantage?

TADACIP is an Indian generic that is a complete analogue of the original "Cialis" medication. Its active substance is Tadalafil.

The main advantage of TADACIP 20 mg is its unprecedented duration of action. Unlike Sildenafil (4-6 hours) or Vardenafil (4-6 hours), Tadalafil provides a "window of readiness" for up to 36 hours. This means that after taking one tablet, a man can achieve an erection in response to sexual stimulation at any moment within one and a half days, completely eliminating the need to plan sex "by the clock."

Mechanism of action of TADACIP (Tadalafil)

TADACIP 20 mg is a selective inhibitor of the PDE5 enzyme (phosphodiesterase type 5).

1. Trigger: The mechanism is triggered only in the presence of sexual stimulation, which causes the release of nitric oxide (NO).

2. Erectile Cycle: NO stimulates the formation of cyclic GMP (cGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscles of the penile blood vessels, ensuring a powerful blood flow.

3. Blockade: Tadalafil blocks the PDE5 enzyme that degrades cGMP. Blocking this enzyme allows cGMP to persist longer, ensuring a stable, firm erection.

Key takeaway: TADACIP does not cause a spontaneous erection. It only works in the presence of natural sexual arousal, but it does so for up to 36 hours.

Instructions for using TADACIP 20 mg

Strict adherence to the instructions is necessary, considering the high dosage and long duration of action.

1. Dosage and timing of intake

• Dosage: 20 mg (one tablet) – is the maximum recommended daily dose for "on-demand" use.

• Frequency of Intake: It is strictly prohibited to take more than one TADACIP 20 mg tablet within 24–36 hours due to its long half-life.

2. Influence of food and alcohol

• Food: TADACIP 20 mg can be taken regardless of food intake, including moderately fatty food, which is its advantage.
