Tadapox 20mg (Tadalafil+Dapoxetine)

Description

Tadapox 20 mg is an oral medication used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is a condition in which a man cannot get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It happens due to the decreased blood flow in the penis. Tadapox 20mg contains Tadalafil and Dapoxetine. Tadalafil helps to relax the blood vessels and improve the blood flow to the penis. On the other hand, Dapoxetine increases the time to ejaculate and improves control over ejaculation. The medicine should be taken around 1 to 2 hours before indulging in sexual intercourse. Consult your doctor before using this medicine for the best directions.

How it works

Tadalafil and Dapoxetine are the active ingredients present in Tadapox 20mg. Tadalafil increases the blood flow to the penis while Dapoxetine increases the activity of serotonin in the nervous system. Tadalafil is a PDE-5 inhibitor. It relaxes the muscles in the blood vessel walls and helps increase the blood flow to the penis. cGMP is responsible for the contraction and dilation of blood vessels. PDE5 is responsible for the destruction of cGMP. Tadapox 20 mg blocks PDE5 action and enables the production of cGMP, resulting in the penis being filled with more blood. Dapoxetine is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It blocks the reabsorption of Serotonin into neurons, allowing more Serotonin to be made available in the brain and improving the transmission of messages between neurons.

Uses

Tadapox 20 is used for the treatment of the following conditions:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – A condition in which the man is unable to get or keep an erection firm enough to get involved in sexual intercourse.
Premature Ejaculation (PE) – A condition in which the man loses control over ejaculation and makes him ejaculate sooner than expected.
