With the increasing aging of the population, the health problems of middle-aged and elderly men have attracted more and more attention, especially erectile dysfunction (impotence), which has become one of the most common diseases affecting the health of middle-aged and elderly men. Clinically, tadalafil is a commonly used drug for this disease, which is loved by the majority of middle-aged and elderly men because of its small molecular dose, mild effect, long-term efficacy, and small cardiovascular stimulation.
Clinically, there are 4 specifications of tadalafil, which are 25 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg. Each dose specification corresponds to a different condition and has its own "place". Among them, the regular use of 5 mg per day in low dose is a common way of taking medicine for many middle-aged and elderly men, and it is recommended by more doctors in clinical practice because the low dose is proved to have cardiovascular benefits every day.
But here comes the problem, some people take a tablet of 5 mg a day and feel that it is not effective. Many men report that although eating 5 mg a day, the erection has increased unconsciously, but they still can't complete the task when they really go to **. As a result, many patients want to increase the dose and change to 10 mg a day. Most middle-aged and older men think that since 5 mg can be used daily, adding another 5 mg should not be a big problem. So can you take 10 mg a day to improve the efficacy?
In fact, according to the diagnosis and treatment guidelines and the daily oral regimen approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the recommended daily oral dose for patients can be 25 mg, which can then be increased to 5 mg depending on the condition. After increasing to 5 mg, you need to stop, and the diagnosis and treatment guidelines do not recommend increasing it to 10 mg.
The reason is that the dose of 10 mg is too large and is generally taken as needed. If you take 10 mg a day for several days, the steady-state blood concentration of the drug in the body is too high, which will not only cause a burden on the liver and kidneys, but also increase the toxicity and adverse reactions of the body.
So what should I do? It is recommended that if eating 5 mg a day does not work, then do not take 5 mg a day. Tadalafil can be changed to on-demand consumption, that is, take one tablet when you need it, of course, the dose must be more than 5 mg, generally more than 10 mg. However, it is worth noting that generally eating 5 mg a day has no effect, and you take a dose of 10 mg or 20 mg on demand, and the general effect is not very good, so at this time, you may need to take it regularly every day combined with on-demand taking, or even alternate taking and other methods, which need to be guided by a doctor.
There is a detail to pay attention to here, that is, on the day of taking it on demand, you can't take 5 mg regularly, no matter how many doses you take, the maximum frequency of tadalafil is once a day, so everyone takes a regular plus on-demand method, and you must pay attention to the frequency and frequency of medication, do you understand?
