Product Introduction

Hightide 20mg Tablet contains tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms in men. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. BPH is characterised by enlargement of the prostate gland. This medication may enhance sexual performance and improve overall sexual satisfaction. By facilitating the ability to achieve and maintain an erection, it can increase confidence and reduce anxiety related to sexual activity.

Do not take Hightide 20mg Tablet if you are allergic to tadalafil or any of its constituents. This medication is not for use in women or individuals under 18 years of age. Do not take Hightide 20mg Tablet if you are currently using any nitrate-based medication (used for angina or heart conditions). This medication is unsuitable for individuals with certain cardiovascular conditions, including recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or stroke within the past six months. Avoid alcohol and grapefruit juice whilst taking Hightide 20mg Tablet. Do not use this medication if you are taking guanylate cyclase stimulators such as riociguat, as concurrent use may cause potentially fatal syncope or symptomatic hypotension.

Inform your physician if you have lactose intolerance, as this medicine contains lactose. You must inform your physician of any serious cardiac disorders, low or high blood pressure, vision problems, sickle cell anaemia, hepatic disorders, renal disorders, or recent myocardial infarction prior to taking this medication.

Uses

Erectile dysfunction Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH)

How it works

Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor; it increases blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, facilitating the ability to achieve and maintain an erection. This improves sexual function, enhances sexual satisfaction, and increases confidence. Additionally, this medication relaxes the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urine flow and decreasing urinary symptoms associated with BPH. Reducing urinary frequency, urgency, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying improves the quality of life for individuals with BPH.

How to Use

Hightide 20mg Tablet can be consumed orally as advised by the doctor. The tablets are typically taken with water, with or without food, following the prescribed dosage and frequency for oral consumption. It is usually taken as needed, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity.

Expert Tips
