How Does It Work?

Erectile dysfunction results from constricted arteries/ blood vessels and restricted blood flow in the penis. Ceebis 20 mg contains Tadalafil, which is a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor. PDE5 inhibits the production of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) in the body by destroying it. cGMP controls the contraction-dilation of blood vessels. Tadalafil inhibits the PDE5 enzyme, which is responsible for decreased blood flow. This results in increased contraction and dilation of the muscle cells lining the blood vessels. Thus, pressure is created in the penis that helps achieve and maintain a firm erection. This effect lasts for 36 hours after medicine intake.

Uses

It is used for the treatment of the following conditions-

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED or impotence)– it is responsible for a man being unable to achieve or maintain a hard erection during sexual activity.
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)– a disorder that affects the arteries of the lungs and the right part of the heart by increasing blood pressure. It causes shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness.
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)– is an age-related condition where the prostate gland becomes unusually large. It causes frequent and painful urination.

Dosage

It may be taken based on your need or daily, depending on your doctor’s prescription. It is recommended to consume the tablet 30 to 60 minutes before sex. Do not double dose within a 24-hour window. You may take it with or without a meal.

For treating BPH or PAH, doctors generally recommend starting with one pill daily, every day at a set time. The dosage may be increased later by the doctor according to your condition. Remember that it only keeps PAH under control and cannot cure it, so you must take medicine every day, regardless of how well you are feeling. Stop taking it only when told to do so by your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you take it for erectile dysfunction, there are fewer chances of forgetting a dose as it is taken when required. But if you are to take it regularly for any of the conditions mentioned above, take the missed dose as soon as you remember unless it is time for your next dose. Do not double dose within a 24-hour window.

Overdose

In case of an overdose, contact your doctor or a healthcare emergency immediately, it may lead to some severe side effects.
