Patient Information Leaflet: Information for the Patient
Tadalafil Jubilant 2.5 mg film-coated tablets EFG
Read the entire leaflet carefully before starting to take this medication, as it contains important information for you.
Contents of the Leaflet:
Tadalafil Jubilant contains the active ingredient tadalafil, which belongs to a group of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. After sexual stimulation, tadalafil acts by helping to relax the blood vessels in your penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis. The result is an improvement in erectile function. Tadalafil will not help if you do not have erectile dysfunction.
It is essential to note that tadalafil is not effective if there is no sexual stimulation. Therefore, you and your partner should stimulate each other in the same way as you would if you were not taking a medication for erectile dysfunction.
Tadalafil is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. This occurs when a man cannot obtain or maintain a firm erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. Tadalafil has demonstrated significant improvement in the ability to obtain a lasting erection of the penis suitable for sexual activity.
Do not take Tadalafil Jubilant if:
Warnings and precautions

Taking Tadalafil Jubilant with beverages and alcohol

Fertility
In dogs treated with tadalafil, a decrease in sperm production by the testicles was observed. A reduction in sperm has been observed in some men. It is unlikely that these effects will produce a lack of fertility.
Driving and using machines
Some men who took tadalafil during clinical trials experienced dizziness. Check carefully how you react when taking the tablets before driving or using machines.

Method of administration
Tadalafil tablets are for oral administration only in men. Swallow the tablet whole with a little water. The tablets can be taken with or without food.
For the treatment of erectile dysfunction
The recommended dose is one 5 mg tablet once a day, approximately at the same time. Your doctor may adjust the dose to 2.5 mg based on your response to tadalafil. This will be done by taking a 2.5 mg tablet.
Do not take tadalafil more than once a day.
Tadalafil taken daily may be useful in men who anticipate having sexual activity two or more times a week.
Tadalafil taken daily allows you to obtain an erection at any time during the 24 hours of the day, as long as there is sexual stimulation.
It is essential to note that tadalafil is not effective if there is no sexual stimulation. Therefore, you and your partner should stimulate each other in the same way as you would if you were not taking a medication for erectile dysfunction.
The consumption of alcohol may affect your ability to have an erection and may temporarily decrease your blood pressure. If you have taken or are planning to take tadalafil, avoid excessive alcohol consumption (blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher), as it may increase the risk of dizziness when standing up.
If you take more Tadalafil Jubilant than you should
