Tadalafil, an active ingredient, effectively treats erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition impacting over a third of men and more than half of those over 40, characterized by the inability to achieve or sustain an erection for sexual activity.

Introduced in 2003 by Lilly, Cialis™, containing Tadalafil, held its patent until November 2017. Subsequently, the patents for FDA-approved ED medications, including Cialis™ and Viagra™, expired, enabling the distribution of generic versions of Tadalafil and Sildenafil.

Tadalafil, classified as a PDE5 inhibitor, not only addresses ED but also treats pulmonary hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By relaxing blood vessel muscles, it enhances blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, potentially leading to firmer and longer-lasting erections.

Notably, Tadalafil does not induce an erection without sexual arousal. The chewable tablets from BlueChew.com utilize the same Tadalafil found in the FDA-approved Cialis™, originally available in pill form.

How often can I take Tadalafil?

Prescribed for on-demand use, take Tadalafil chewable tablets as directed by your licensed medical provider through BlueChew. Avoid daily consumption and never exceed one dose every 24 hours. Adhere strictly to your provider's prescription, avoiding prolonged use beyond recommendations.

How long does Tadalafil last?

Tadalafil, with effects noticeable within 30 minutes, offers a prolonged presence in the body for up to 36 hours. Unlike Sildenafil, its enduring effect is advantageous for those who prefer a more extended timeframe, minimizing the need to rush intimate moments.

Recognizing the role of anxiety in erectile dysfunction, Tadalafil's extended duration provides flexibility, allowing a relaxed approach with your partner.

However, individual suitability varies. Explore the distinctions between the active ingredients in BlueChew’s chewable tablets. For personalized guidance, consult BlueChew’s licensed medical providers to determine the optimal ED medication and dosage tailored to your specific needs.

What are the potential side effects of Tadalafil?

Inform your medical provider about all medications, including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, and herbal supplements, to minimize potential side effects.

The most common side effects of Tadalafil include:

  • Headache
  • Skin flushing
  • Upset stomach
  • Blurred vision
  • Stuffy or runny nose
  • Back or muscle pain
  • Nausea, dizziness
  • Rash

Other possible side effects include prolonged erections, sudden vision or hearing changes, or tinnitus. If you experience any of these symptoms, cease medication and seek immediate medical attention.
