Product Information:

TARLYCA 10mg Tablets contain Tadalafil 10mg, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, promoting smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow to facilitate erections in response to sexual stimulation.

The 10mg dose is primarily used as an on-demand (as-needed) treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), taken 30–60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.

Uses of (TARLYCA 10MG TABS):

1. Erectile dysfunction (ED) – as an on-demand oral therapy
2. May also be used off-label for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in some regions (though not standard)

❌ Not indicated for daily use or BPH at this strength—lower doses (2.5mg or 5mg) are used for those indications.

Key Benefits of (TARLYCA 10MG TABS):

1. Effective within 30–60 minutes of intake
2. Long duration of action—up to 36 hours (“weekend pill”)
3. Flexible dosing—only when needed
4. Lower incidence of side effects compared to sildenafil in some patients

How To Use (TARLYCA 10MG TABS):

1. Take as needed, 30–60 minutes before sexual activity.

💡 Dose Adjustment: If 10mg is insufficient, may increase to 20mg; if side effects occur, reduce to 5mg.

When Not to Use (TARLYCA 10MG TABS):

Do not use if you have:

1. Hypersensitivity to tadalafil or any excipients
2. Concurrent use of nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide) or guanylate cyclase stimulators (e.g., riociguat)—risk of life-threatening hypotension
3. Severe cardiovascular disease (unstable angina, recent MI/stroke, uncontrolled arrhythmia)
4. Severe hepatic or renal impairment (dose adjustment needed)

⚠️ Important: Do not combine with other PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, vardenafil).

Side Effects of (TARLYCA 10MG TABS):

Serious (rare):

1. Sudden hearing or vision loss (NAION)—discontinue immediately
2. Cardiovascular events (chest pain, arrhythmia)—especially in high-risk patients
3. Severe hypotension (if combined with nitrates)
4. Seek emergency help if chest pain, sudden vision/hearing changes, or prolonged erection occurs.

Dosage: (TARLYCA 10MG TABS):

1. Recommended starting dose: 10mg as needed, prior to sexual activity

Warnings & Precautions:

1. Avoid excessive alcohol—may enhance hypotensive effects
2. Use caution in patients with anatomical penile deformity (e.g., Peyronie’s disease)
3. Evaluate cardiovascular status before initiation in men with cardiac risk factors
4. Discontinue if signs of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) occur

Drug Interactions:

1. Nitrates: Contraindicated—severe, potentially fatal hypotension
2. Alpha-blockers: May cause additive blood pressure lowering—use with caution
3. CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir): May increase tadalafil levels—consider lower dose
4. Always inform your doctor about all medications.
