TADAFEM 20

TADAFEM 20 is a medication developed specifically for women, containing Tadalafil (20 mg). Unlike male ED drugs, TADAFEM 20 is positioned as an agent to enhance sexual arousal and increase sensitivity in women facing female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD). The key advantage of this medication is its long duration of action, up to 36 hours.

What is TADAFEM 20?

TADAFEM 20 is a generic medication containing 20 mg of Tadalafil. It is important to note that Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis) is a PDE5 inhibitor.

1. Indication and target dosage

• Indication: The drug is intended to enhance the physiological response to sexual stimulation in women. It does not affect libido (desire) but may improve physical arousal.

• 20 mg Dosage: 20 mg is the maximum standard dose of Tadalafil for "on-demand" use.

2. Advantages of TADAFEM 20 for women

• Long Duration: The effect of Tadalafil lasts up to 36 hours. This provides a long "window of readiness" and eliminates the worry about precise timing.

• Increased Blood Flow: The drug promotes blood flow to the pelvic organs, particularly the clitoris and labia.

Detailed mechanism of action of TADAFEM 20

The mechanism of action of TADAFEM 20 is based on Tadalafil 20 mg being a potent and selective inhibitor of the PDE5 enzyme.

1. Trigger: Sexual stimulation causes the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the genital area.

2. cGMP Cycle: NO stimulates the formation of cyclic GMP (cGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessels.

3. PDE5 Blockade: Tadalafil blocks the PDE5 enzyme that degrades cGMP. Blocking this enzyme allows cGMP to persist longer, leading to:

   • Enhanced Engorgement: The clitoris and labia minora swell, increasing their sensitivity.

   • Improved Lubrication: Increased blood flow to the vaginal mucosa promotes better natural lubrication.

Key takeaway: TADAFEM 20 is not an aphrodisiac and does not treat low libido. It improves the physiological response when sexual desire is already present.

Instructions for using TADAFEM 20

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 dose.

• Frequency of Intake: It is strictly prohibited to take more than one TADAFEM 20 tablet within 24–36 hours.

• Initial Dose: If you are trying Tadalafil for the first time, it is recommended to start with 10 mg (half a tablet).

• Method: Swallow the tablet whole with water.

• Timing: Take 30–60 minutes before planned sexual activity.

2. Influence of food and alcohol

• Food: TADAFEM 20 can be taken regardless of food intake.

• Alcohol: Tadalafil is considered the most alcohol-friendly drug in its class. Moderate alcohol consumption usually does not reduce efficacy.

Critical contraindications

The list of contraindications related to the vasodilating effect is strict.

• Interaction with Nitrates: Absolutely forbidden! Taking TADAFEM 20 with any form of organic nitrates (Nitroglycerin) or nitric oxide donors ("poppers") causes a life-threatening drop in blood pressure.

• Pregnancy and Lactation: The drug is not intended for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women.

• Severe Cardiovascular Diseases: Recent heart attack or stroke (within 6 months), unstable angina, severe heart failure.

• Blood Pressure: Persistent hypotension (pressure < 90/50 mmHg) or uncontrolled hypertension.

• Liver and Kidneys: Severe hepatic or renal failure.

• Eyes: Hereditary degenerative retinal diseases (retinitis pigmentosa).

Side effects of TADAFEM 20

TADAFEM 20 (Tadalafil 20 mg) is well-tolerated but has its unique set of side effects.

• Common: Headache, dyspepsia (indigestion), facial flushing, nasal congestion.

• Specific to Tadalafil: Back pain and myalgia (muscle aches). These effects are usually mild and pass within 12–24 hours.

• Visual Risk: Tadalafil rarely causes color vision disturbances ("blue haze"), unlike Sildenafil.

Professional advice on using TADAFEM 20

1. Duration is the key factor: TADAFEM 20 is ideal for women who want prolonged support (up to 36 hours) for their physiological response, rather than the rapid, short effect of Sildenafil.

2. Dosing Flexibility: Start with half a tablet (10 mg) to assess tolerability. If this dose is sufficient, there is no need to take 20 mg.

3. Not for Libido Treatment: If the primary problem is a lack of sexual desire, TADAFEM 20 will not help. In this case, a doctor should be consulted to consider other options, such as Flibanserin.

TADAFEM 20: Extended Q&A section

• How does TADAFEM 20 differ from LOVEGRA (Sildenafil)? The main difference is duration. Sildenafil (LOVEGRA) lasts 4–6 hours, while TADAFEM 20 (Tadalafil) lasts up to 36 hours.

• How long does TADAFEM 20 last? The effect lasts up to 36 hours.

• Can I take TADAFEM 20 if I don't have arousal problems? The drug is intended only for the treatment of FSAD (female sexual arousal disorder). Intake without indication can lead to unnecessary side effects.

• Will TADAFEM 20 help me reach orgasm? Indirectly, yes. By increasing blood flow and sensitivity, the drug can make it easier to achieve orgasm with adequate stimulation, but it does not guarantee it.
