Tadalafil Crescent 10mg Film-Coated Tablets contain tadalafil, a prescription-only medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men aged 18 years and over. Erectile dysfunction is when a man has difficulty getting or maintaining an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual activity.

Tadalafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Following sexual stimulation, it helps relax blood vessels and increases blood flow into the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. Sexual stimulation is required for tadalafil to work.

Tadalafil Crescent 10mg is taken by mouth when required, at least 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. It can be taken with or without food. The maximum recommended frequency is one 10mg tablet in 24 hours. This strength is intended for use before sexual activity and is not recommended for continuous daily use.

What is Tadalafil Crescent 10mg used for?

Tadalafil Crescent 10mg is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. It helps improve the ability to achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. It is not intended for men without erectile dysfunction or for women.

How does Tadalafil Crescent 10mg work?

Tadalafil works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This allows increased blood flow into the penis following sexual stimulation, helping produce an erection. Tadalafil does not produce an erection without sexual stimulation.

How long before sex should I take Tadalafil Crescent 10mg?

Take one 10mg tablet at least 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. Clinical studies have demonstrated responsiveness to tadalafil for up to 36 hours after dosing, although the response varies between individuals. This does not mean that an erection will last continuously for 36 hours.

How often can I take Tadalafil Crescent 10mg?

Do not take more than one 10mg tablet in 24 hours. Tadalafil Crescent 10mg is intended for use when required before sexual activity rather than continuous daily use.

If you require tadalafil frequently, such as twice weekly or more, speak to your doctor about whether a different dosing regimen may be suitable.

Can I take Tadalafil Crescent 10mg with food or alcohol?

Tadalafil Crescent 10mg can be taken with or without food. Food does not significantly affect its absorption.

Avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol before sexual activity. Excessive alcohol consumption can temporarily reduce your ability to achieve an erection and may increase the likelihood of dizziness or low blood pressure when taking tadalafil.
