Tadox 10 mg

Tadox 10 mg is a medicine containing tadalafil. Tadalafil is one of a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. It is commonly used for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) and the urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). You’ll start to feel it kicking in within 30 to 60 minutes, and it can last for up to 36 hours. You can take it with or without food, but always with the prescribed dose and prescribed time. 

Key Features

How does Tadox 10 mg work?

• When sexually stimulated there is release of Nitric Oxide (NO) in the penile tissue. 
• Nitric Oxide activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase. 
• Guanylate cyclase creates cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). 
• PDE5 normally breaks down cGMP 
• Due to PDE5 blockage, there is accumulation of cGMP.
• Higher cGMP levels relax the smooth muscles and increase blood flow.
