How Tadalafil 10mg Works
Tadalafil 10mg contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate.
BRAZcigarettes, like Viagra, have long been linked to heart issues.
A found that nicotine-addled erectile dysfunction medications such as sildenafil, which are often prescribed for pulmonary hypertension, also significantly increased the risk of death in a clinical trial.
Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor, which increases blood flow to the penis, helping men with erectile dysfunction to maintain a firm erection.
This increase can be life-changing. Research shows that using sildenafil increases the risk of pulmonary embolism and other cardiovascular events, as well as strokes and heart attacks.
The findings are important because they point to a significant cause of heart health risks: the heart itself.
However, the long-term effects of sildenafil remain uncertain, especially if you are already taking other medications for erectile dysfunction, such as Viagra, or are taking nitrate drugs.
“While some studies have suggested an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, these data are still inconclusive,” said Dr. Robert M. Dessau, director of the University of Michigan’s Langone Medical Center and a professor of cardiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “It’s important to understand the long-term effects of this medication and if it helps you in your heart.”
Dessau said sildenafil is often prescribed for pulmonary hypertension, a condition where high blood pressure is high enough to cause blood vessels to relax, which can result in heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events.
“The cardiovascular effects of sildenafil are well-known, but it’s important to consider the potential risks and benefits of individual medications and to discuss any concerns with a doctor or pharmacist,” Dessau said.

This article is for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice. Always consult with your physician or pharmacist before using any medication or treatment for erectile dysfunction, including supplements or medications.
If you have a medical condition, it’s important to treat it properly. If you don’t, you might not have a penis suitable for sexual activity. This could be a sign of serious underlying health problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, low testosterone, certain eye problems (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy), and certain types of cancer. It’s also important to note that erectile dysfunction could be caused by a number of factors, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and certain medications.
In some cases, you could be at risk if you use the wrong drug, have too much or have underlying health problems. This could also be a sign of a serious underlying health problem, such as heart disease.
This study was supported by the National Institutes of Health (grants U01 EY051789, P30 AGgary R01; P30 AGgary R01; P30 AIgary R01; and P30 AIgary R01).
The research team found that using sildenafil and other PDE5 inhibitors increases the risk of developing pulmonary embolism, stroke and other cardiovascular events, as well as strokes and heart attacks.
“This is a big concern,” Dessau said. “It’s a very rare and very serious condition. It’s important to know the full picture to make sure that this medication is safe and effective.”
The study involved 5,849 participants in a clinical trial at a large academic medical center.

On 14 March 2023, the UK Medicines regulator approved an application to reclassify the erectile dysfunction medication Cialis. When marketed asCialis Together(tadalafil 10mg), it will be a ‘P’ (pharmacy) medication, and so available ‘over the counter’ in pharmacies – see. This follows the 2018, ‘P’ classification of (sildenafil 50mg) which has been available OTC, without a prescription, since then.
This decision is good news for men’s health …. Erectile dysfunction can be a debilitating condition, so it’s important men feel they have fast access to quality and legitimate care
Dr Laura Squire, MHRA’s Chief Officer for Healthcare, Quality and Access
Unfortunately, there is a strong black market in the UK for ED medicines, which are often unlicensed or counterfeit. UK Border Force and the MHRA seize millions of pounds of these fake products from criminals annually. This new classification of tadalafil 10mg will enable men who suffer from ED to obtain it safely from a local pharmacy.
Sanofi, the drug manufacturer, is expected to launch Cialis Together later in 2023. Cialis Together will be available to purchase in pharmacies without a prescription by men over 18 with erectile dysfunction. Cialis Together tablets will contain 10mg tadalafil and the maximum pack size will be 8 tablets. Other doses and pack sizes of Cialis and tadalafil will still be available on prescription through doctors and specially trained pharmacists. Before purchase in a pharmacy there must be an assessment with a pharmacist, who will check that Cialis Together is appropriate and safe, or whether consultation with a GP is necessary.
Men suffering with ED will have another treatment option with the convenience of purchasing it in their local pharmacy, including pharmacies found inside supermarkets (eg. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s). The pharmacist will ask some health questions, may check blood pressure, and will advise on treatment with Cialis Together or Viagra Connect, or the need to consult a GP. Pharmacies usually have a private room for such discussions.
Cialis Together is a 10mg tadalafil product for use at least 30 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity. Its effects can last. It is not recommended for daily use. The maximum recommended dose of Cialis Together will be one tablet in 24 hours. Prescription Cialis and tadalafil will still be available at different doses.
Dr Fox welcomes the wider access to ED medication for men that Cialis Together classified as a ‘P’ OTC medication will provide. We at Dr Fox are aware of the difficulties men have in discussing ED with their GPs and in accessing ED medication. We know that Cialis is effective and safe for most men and this change provides another option for obtaining ED treatment. Pharmacists are health professionals who are able to give ED advice but they will also know when to refer men who would benefit from a doctor’s assessment. ‘P’ medicines can also be supplied on prescription, and we will offer Cialis Together, when available, alongside our other competitively priced ED products.

Pfizer Inc. said on Monday it has reached an agreement with GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK) that would allow the U. S. Food and Drug Administration to take action against the company’s patent-protected monopoly. GSK, which owns a controlling stake in the company, said it is planning to file suit against GSK in federal court.
GSK said it would challenge the validity of the patents protecting the brand-name Viagra, Pfizer Inc.'s (s-sold name) impotence drug, from the U. Food and Drug Administration, which was launched in the United States in 2003. Pfizer had sued GSK for patent infringement in 2010 and 2010 after a generic drug launched with Viagra’s active ingredient sildenafil citrate was found to be unsafe and ineffective. The patent, which GSK was able to sell to consumers under the trade name Prolong, is set to expire in 2014, after which the generic drug will no longer be available.
Pfizer said it was confident that it would continue to market the drug and would make the product available in the U. market within three months, despite the patent being invalid.
GSK, based in Raleigh, N. C., said the U. Patent and Trademark Office is expected to take action against GSK in the U. on Monday. The patent on Prolong has not been set in stone. However, GSK has indicated it is in the process of launching its own generic products, pending U. approval.
“We believe that our patent for Prolong will expire in 2014, and we are confident that our generic products will be available in the U. market within the timeframe set forth in the patent,” said GSK CEO James Q. Merritt said in a statement.
The company also said it will update its website, and GSK said it would update its website for the latest information.
“We are pleased with the regulatory actions we have taken and the positive feedback from patients,” said Dr. Andrew W. Schlossberg, the company’s chief medical officer. “As the market continues to grow, our focus is shifting toward ensuring that men and women of all ages can take advantage of this highly successful and affordable treatment.”
GSK has filed a complaint against three of its subsidiaries, the Pfizer subsidiary, and the other generic drug maker. The companies are pursuing two of the three, and the other is seeking $2 billion in damages.
GSK has said that it will have no comment in court. Pfizer had said it would not comment on GSK’s pending lawsuit.
