Tadapox
Tadapox is a medication that is used to treat erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. The active ingredients in Tadapox are tadalafil and dapoxetine. Tadapox is a generic medication, which means it is available at a lower cost than the brand-name version. Tadapox is available in tablet form. The usual starting dose is one tablet taken with or without food, as needed, about 1 hour before sexual activity. The maximum recommended dose is one tablet per day. If you are taking certain other medications, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of Tadapox.
Tadapox may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- headache
- dizziness
- nausea
- diarrhea
- dry mouth
- flushing
- stomach pain
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
- vision changes
- ringing in the ears
- chest pain

Tadapox may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ([website address]).
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain laboratory tests to check your body's response to Tadapox.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
What happens if I miss a dose?
If you take Tadapox on an as-needed basis, you will not be on a dosing schedule. If you forget to take a dose of Tadapox, you can take it when you remember. Do not take more than one dose in a day.
