What it is
Hawt Tadalafil is a brand of tadalafil, which belongs to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. These drugs work by relaxing blood vessels to improve blood flow.
What it's used for
Hawt Tadalafil (tadalafil 20 mg tablets) is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. It can also be used for men who have both ED and BPH. For BPH treatment when used with finasteride, such use is recommended for up to 26 weeks.
How it's taken
Hawt Tadalafil 20 mg tablets should not be split; the entire dose must be taken. For ED taken as needed, the typical starting dose is 10 mg, which can be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg based on how well it works and tolerability. It improves erectile function for up to 36 hours after dosing and should not be taken more than once per day. For once-daily use, 2.5 mg or 5 mg is taken daily regardless of sexual activity. Always follow your doctor's instructions exactly.
Common side effects
The most common side effects (occurring in 2% or more of users) include headache, indigestion (dyspepsia), back pain, muscle aches (myalgia), nasal congestion, flushing, and pain in the limbs. If you experience any side effect, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
Important cautions
Hawt Tadalafil must not be used by anyone taking any form of organic nitrate (e.g., nitroglycerin) or guanylate cyclase stimulators (e.g., riociguat), as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. It is also contraindicated in patients with a history of serious allergic reaction to tadalafil. Before using, a doctor should evaluate your heart and overall health, especially if sexual activity could be risky due to your cardiovascular status. Use with alpha-blockers, blood pressure medicines, or more than 5 alcoholic drinks may increase the risk of low blood pressure.
