Tadarise 20 (which contains the active ingredient tadalafil) is a medication commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). While it is effective for many people, there are several conditions and factors that can make Tadarise 20 unsafe or contraindicated:
1. Heart Conditions
- Nitrates use: If you are taking any medication containing nitrates (often prescribed for chest pain or heart conditions), you should not take Tadarise 20. The combination of tadalafil and nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure, potentially leading to fainting, heart attack, or stroke.
- Severe heart disease or heart failure: People with severe heart conditions, such as unstable angina, recent heart attack (within 6 months), or severe arrhythmias, should not use Tadarise without consulting a doctor. The strain that sexual activity places on the heart could be risky for those with these conditions.
2. Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension)
- Tadarise 20mg can lower blood pressure. If you have low blood pressure or are on medications to treat it, using Tadarise can lead to dizziness, fainting, or a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
3. Severe Liver Disease
- Individuals with severe liver impairment or liver failure may have trouble metabolizing tadalafil, which can lead to an unsafe buildup of the medication in the body. It’s important to avoid Tadarise or use it under careful medical supervision if you have liver disease.
4. Severe Kidney Disease
- If you have severe kidney impairment, you may not be able to clear tadalafil from your body effectively, leading to a risk of overdose or side effects. People with mild to moderate kidney disease can typically take Tadarise, but doses may need adjustment.
5. Recent Stroke or Heart Attack
- If you’ve had a stroke or heart attack recently (usually within the last 6 months), you should avoid taking Tadarise 20, as sexual activity may put extra strain on your cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of another event.
6. Retinitis Pigmentosa (Eye Condition)
- Tadarise may cause vision disturbances. If you have a rare hereditary eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa, you should avoid tadalafil as it may increase the risk of vision problems, although this is rare.
7. Allergic Reactions
- If you are allergic to tadalafil or any other ingredients in Tadarise, you should not take this medication. Signs of an allergy could include rash, itching, swelling (especially around the face, lips, or throat), or difficulty breathing.
8. Penile Abnormalities or Conditions
- If you have certain conditions affecting your penis (such as Peyronie’s disease, or a history of priapism – painful erections lasting more than 4 hours), you should consult a doctor before using Tadarise 20, as it could exacerbate these conditions.
9. Medication Interactions
- Alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure or prostate problems) can interact with Tadarise and cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. If you're taking these medications, your doctor may adjust your dosage or suggest an alternative.
- Other medications, like certain antifungals, antibiotics, and HIV medications, can interact with tadalafil and increase the risk of side effects. Always discuss your medications with your doctor before starting Tadarise.
10. Age and Health Status
- Older adults, particularly those over 65, may need to take lower doses or use Tadarise under strict medical supervision due to changes in how the body metabolizes the drug.
