What are The Uses of Vidalista Professional 20 mg Tablets?
Vidalista Professional 20mg is used in the treatment of the following disorders:
- Erectile Dysfunction
ED is a condition where a man has trouble achieving or maintaining an erection suitable for sexual activity. This issue primarily affects men over 40, and its occurrence increases with age. Common causes of ED include:
- Use of medications for blood pressure, antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-ulcer drugs, anticonvulsants, anti-androgens, anticholinergics, chemotherapy drugs, propecia
- Chronic illnesses
- Poor blood circulation to the pelvic area
- Unhealthy habits like heavy drinking and smoking.
- Stress, performance anxiety
- Underlying health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, depression, and high cholesterol.
In these cases, professional medical help is needed. Many men feel embarrassed to talk to their doctor about ED and may try to self-medicate, which can worsen the condition and harm their health in the long run.Vidalista Professional can help to reduce the symptoms of erectile issues. However, medical guidance is necessary.
- Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
PAH is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries leading to your lungs is too high. This serious condition occurs when the blood vessels carrying blood from your heart to your lungs becomes stiff and narrow. As a result, the heart has to work much harder to pump blood through these vessels. Over time, this extra effort weakens the heart, which can eventually lead to heart failure. Doctors sometimes recommend Vidalista Professional 20mg because it increases the bloodflow to the lungs. It relaxes the blood vessels and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood better.
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia
BPH is a condition characterized by the overgrowth of prostate epithelial and smooth muscle cells leading to urinary problems. The enlarged prostate obstructs the urethra, causing incomplete bladder emptying and increased residual urine volume. Tadalafil may help with BPH not just by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate but also by increasing oxygen flow, lowering inflammation, stopping tissue remodeling, and stopping cell growth through the cGMP pathway.
What are The Dosage Guidelines for Vidalista Professional 20mg Tablets?
- It’s best to wait an hour before getting sexually active. You can, however, take it any time from 30 minutes to 4 hours before having sex.
- It should only be taken once a day.
- Nitrates are drugs used to treat angina or chest pain. If you have recently taken one, do not take Vidalista 20 Tablet.
Missed Dosage
For ED
- Instead of a schedule, you have to take the medicine before sexual activity. Therefore, a missed dose question does arise. By chance, if you take the medicine without sex, it does not cause any physical issues and gets out of the body naturally.
For PAH and BPH
- Take a missed dose as soon as you realize within the specified timeframe.
- Never exceed one tablet in a day.
Overdosage
If you believe you have overdosed on this medication, contact your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital.
How does The Vidalista Professional 20 mg Tablet Work?
- Erectile Dysfunction
Vidalista Professional 20mg is a medication that selectively inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). It leads to several effects. The most notable being the relaxation of smooth muscles. Erectile dysfunction can occur due to various reasons, such as psychological, neurological, vascular, medical, or hormonal issues. These factors disrupt the relaxation of penile smooth muscle either through altered nerve signals or direct effects on muscle cells.
During sexual arousal, nerves called non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) neurons release nitric oxide. This NO activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase, which then converts guanosine triphosphate into cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP triggers a chain of reactions by activating a protein called cGMP-dependent kinase (PKG). This process opens the following:
- Potassium channels
- Blocks calcium channels
- Reduces platelet activation
- Stops smooth muscle cell growth
- Promotes cell death.
Normally, PDE5 breaks down cGMP, turning it into GMP, and thus reduces the above effects.
When tadalafil inhibits PDE5, it does the following:
- Prevents the breakdown of cGMP
- Enhances the PKG signaling pathway.
This results in reduced calcium entry into smooth muscle cells, promoting their relaxation. Relaxed, smooth muscles in the penis allow blood to flow into the corpus cavernosum, leading to an erection.
- Mechanism of action for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH):
In pulmonary arterial hypertension, the blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries is elevated due to various mechanisms related to endothelial dysfunction. Vasodilation signals are weakened when NO and prostacyclin production is low, while vasoconstriction signals are strengthened when endothelin-1 and thromboxane levels rise. Additionally, inflammation, blood clots, and low oxygen levels contribute to vascular remodeling, which narrows the arteries further. This leads to higher blood pressure, impairs gas exchange, and increases the workload on the right ventricle, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, and eventually right-sided heart failure. Vidalista Professional 20 mg helps treat PAH by enhancing NO-cGMP signaling and promoting smooth muscle relaxation, similar to its effect in treating erectile dysfunction (ED).
- Vidalista’s effect on Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):
Vidalista Professional 20 mg is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. The main component in Vidalista is Tadfinill. This component stops the PDE5 enzyme, which increases the production of CGMP. Due to this reason, the smooth muscles in the prostrate gland relax. It improves the urine’s flow and decreases the number of times of urination or urge of an inability to control urination.
What are The Side Effects of Vidalista Professional 20 mg Tablets?

Interactions
# Interactions with Other Medications
- Certain medications can influence the effectiveness of Vidalista Professional 20mg, or Vidalista can alter the efficacy of other drugs taken concurrently.
- To avoid potential interactions, inform your doctor about all the medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently using or plan to use.
- Taking Vidalista capsules with nitrate-containing medications can lead to severe hypotension (low blood pressure).
- This is particularly important if you are using medications for heart failure, HIV, infections, diabetes, asthma, pain relief, immune system modulation, or brain-related disorders.
In short, always consult your PCP to ensure the safe and effective use of Vidalista Professional 20mg with other treatments.
# Food Interactions
- Alcohol
Avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol. Consuming more than four drinks in a short period of time can amplify the low blood pressure and dizziness effects of tadalafil.
- Grapefruit
Steer clear of grapefruit and its products. Consuming grapefruit can increase your blood levels of tadalafil, which increases your risk of developing low blood pressure because the enzyme CYP3A4 breaks down tadalafil and grapefruit inhibits this enzyme.
