At Lavena Health in Temple Terrace, a physician evaluates the cause of your ED, reviews your heart health and medications, and prescribes tadalafil when it is appropriate for you.
How tadalafil works
Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor. With sexual stimulation, it helps increase blood flow to the penis so an erection is easier to get and keep. It lasts considerably longer in the body than sildenafil.
How it is taken
Tadalafil can be taken as needed before sexual activity, or as a low dose once a day, which some men prefer because it removes the need to plan around a pill. Your physician sets the approach and dose with you.
Side effects and safety
Common side effects in the FDA labeling include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, nasal congestion and flushing.
Sildenafil and tadalafil must never be taken with nitrates (such as nitroglycerin) or with guanylate cyclase stimulators such as riociguat. They can lower blood pressure when combined with alpha-blockers or other blood-pressure medicines, and sexual activity itself carries some cardiac risk, so your physician reviews your heart health and medication list first. An erection lasting more than four hours, or sudden loss of vision or hearing, needs emergency care. See our erectile dysfunction disclosures.
When one medication is not enough
For men who need more than a single medication, your physician may prescribe a combination formula. Combination formulas are compounded by a state-licensed 503A pharmacy; compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed.
In person or by telehealth
ED treatment is available in person at our Temple Terrace clinic or by telehealth across 40+ states. Florida and Missouri patients are seen by Lavena Health physicians; patients in other states are cared for through our partner physician network.
