About Vidalista 2.5 mg
Vidalista 2.5 mg is the lowest-strength tadalafil tablet in the Vidalista range from Centurion Laboratories. Unlike higher strengths, which are taken before sex, 2.5 mg is designed to be taken once every day. A steady daily level of tadalafil means erections can happen naturally whenever you are aroused, without planning around a tablet.
Who daily tadalafil suits
- Men who expect to be sexually active twice a week or more and prefer spontaneity.
- Men who get side effects from larger as-needed doses; a small daily amount is often better tolerated.
- Men who need a gentler starting point because of other medicines or health conditions, as advised by their doctor.
How it works
Tadalafil blocks PDE5, the enzyme that switches off the chemical signal (cGMP) behind an erection. With daily dosing the effect builds up over about five days and stays fairly constant. Arousal is still needed for an erection to happen.
How to take it
- Take one tablet at roughly the same time each day, with or without food.
- For erectile dysfunction the usual daily dose is 2.5 mg, which a doctor may increase to 5 mg.
- Do not take extra tablets on the same day, and do not combine daily tadalafil with as-needed ED tablets.
- If you forget a dose, take it when you remember that day; never double up the next day.
If your doctor increases the daily dose, Vidalista 5 mg is the next step. Men who prefer to take a tablet only before sex can look at Vidalista 10 mg.
Pack sizes
Supplied in strips of 10 tablets, in packs of 90, 120, 150 and 300 tablets, from $59. A 90-tablet pack lasts about three months on daily dosing.
Side effects
Headache, indigestion, back pain, aching muscles and a stuffy nose are the most often reported, and they tend to ease in the first couple of weeks. Seek urgent care for an erection lasting over four hours, sudden changes in sight or hearing, or chest pain.
Important safety information
- Never combine tadalafil with nitrates (for angina) or poppers, or with riociguat. Blood pressure can drop dangerously.
- Tell your doctor about heart problems, low or uncontrolled blood pressure, kidney or liver disease, and any alpha-blockers or other blood pressure tablets you take.
- Daily tadalafil is not recommended for people with severe kidney impairment.
Storage
Store below 86°F (30°C) in the original packaging, away from damp and children.
