Lady you deserve an award for the service you are rendering to the MANKIND. You talk so lucidly and in such a simple way about a complex issue that ED is. The best part of your shows is HOPE that you give to MEN who are living with ED and giving the light to reach the light at the end of the tunnel and live life again.
So many questions are being answered here that I didn't even know was a question! And not knowing how to ask or embarrassed to ask keeps many people away from asking the questions. Thank you Dr. Rena..You are appreciated 🌹💐🌹💐🌹
Men don’t like to talk about it but this platform helps a lot to inform us I’m prostate cancer survivor I Take low dose 20mg daily and work out in feel great at the gym and in the bed room I’m 62 years old 😊
I am 78 and take Tadalafil for BPH ! Two 5mg tablets daily improve blood flow to many body parts including brain (increasing long term memory and BALANCE), heart and lungs during cardiopulmonary exercise and to “other areas” that respond very well!
I am 60, taking 5 mg a day for BPH. I experience similar effect - my treadmill endurance has doubled. I'm not even talking about the effect on the downstairs, it's like traveling back in time when I was 20.
I take Tadalafil sub-lingually for rapid onset regardless of food in my stomach. I take 5mg and use my molars to grind it up into small chunks, and hold them under my tongue to dissolve in normal saliva. In around 3 minutes they are all gone, and enough goes directly into my bloodstream that I can notice the impacts in as little as 10 minutes. It tastes a bit chalky, but not unpleasant. I haven’t seen this suggestion, so I am adding into the comments.
Agreed. For faster responsiveness, I always bite the tablet into micro chunks which I dissolve with water and then swallow. Response on an empty stomach is less than 10 minutes. Tadalafil daily. Sildenafil causes blurry vision in me.
Tadalafil daily doesn’t work for me. Diminishing returns on day 2 through 5. However, day 1’s intake lasts at least 36 hours. It’s like a first order exponential decay curve. I have to calculate the “half life” t.1/2
look into actual sublinguals. There is cenforce Professional, and vidalista professional. I take vidalista (tadalfil) early in teh day, and the cenforce (sildenafil) professional, I find it still takes about 30m, but its consistent, and doesnt require an empty stomach
It is also suggested that you engage in a daily workout routine in addition with these ED meds. Increasing your testosterone levels will improve your blood circulation making erections more frequent and lasting.
Doc you just saved my marriage my urologist never told me about taking my Cialis on an empty stomach No wonder it took up to 3 hours to work Love you Doc
@@tonyfontana8222 Similarly. I take .4 tam and just half of a 5 mg Tad. And great results. More Tad gave me headaches and back aches. No problem now with this dose. I could probably up the dose now to 5 mg Tad but really no need.
Side effects for me are very strong when I take on an empty stomach. I think it's best to try different ways until you figure out what works best for you.
@@yourneighborhoodfriendlyme4242 I take sildenafil when we plan ahead and tadalafil to be a little more spontaneous on weekends. Side effects for me are stronger with sildenafil, the positive outweighs the negative, most of the time lol.

True although I do feel kind if sick on the third day coming off of Taldafil. With sudenifil in 6 hours is gone. Lots of water and a Tylenol helps with the headache.

Before sildenifil I used otc product called xyrexin which worked well but it can make you a little jittery. I usually take one pill but max dose is two.
Dear Dr Rena, Thanks for giving us the straight up on these drugs. I’m really glad that you mentioned how to take these as I thought they were suppositories and have been administering them incorrectly all along. Maybe I’ll have better results going forward. Hope this helps your audience.
Do these drugs work on trees? I have a tree that will not stand up straight in my yard, I have to tie a 2x4 to keep it to stand tall.....maybe a few blue pills in the soil, would work?
I'm prescribed 5mg tad for BPH. I split the pills so it's 2.5 mg daily and works wonders for BPH. Went from going 4x a night to maybe once a night which is normal.
It's actually better that way. Other drugs peak in the blood, and lose effect much faster. Cilalis stays effective for 24 or more hours, but the first 3 - 5 it is strongest.
I tried both medications and suffered from debilitating headaches. I used a tablet cutter to cut the tablets into quarters. This resulted in no more side effects and the medication still worked perfectly..........
I also use the cuter cut the 100 mg in 4 low doses daily before my work out And if I want to have sex I take the 100 mg no side effects I’m 62 and feel like I’m 20 Love it😊
I’ve been taking a fast-dissolving troche with 80mg Sildenafil, 22mg Tadalafil, and the balance with another substance (can’t recall at the moment), and I find it much more effective, for me, than 100mg of Sildenafil. 30-120 minutes before, and I have even been ready the morning after! Expensive, but after years of nausea, blue vision, stuffy sinuses, the lack of side effects with this new medication, and effectiveness, has been a life changer!
I always avoid any quantity of alcohol 4-6 hours before sex. So if you are having dinner and want to have sex, have no alcohol or share a single glass of wine or cocktail with your date at the beginning of the meal. I also avoid fatty beef, some studies have shown that it can interfere with the effectiveness of the PDET5 inhibitors. I find fish is a great choice. Limit the number of calories in your meal, share a plate with her. In addition , you might want to take your sildenafil before the main course, so slip a pill into your pocket before you go to dinner.
@@nostalgicbliss5547 I have BPH and averaged 12 trips a day to urinate, sometimes urgently but started with Tadalafil and changed my diet and now it is almost normal, at 74 yo. and my 42 yo GF loves the changes.
@@SalmanKhan-rz3mc Well, it really helps with medication induced ED, plus there may be benefits to prostate health (I've heard), I'll take it until told I shouldn't.
That is not my experience. I took Sildenafil for a few years, it worked well but do take it before dinner, or skip dinner, you now have better things to do. I also had a urinary problem of not being able to start a stream 1st thing in morning. Urologist switched me to daily Tadalifil and the next morning I was able to urinate normally, but only after the morning wood went down. I'm 69..., I am now again, "as good once as I ever was" and spontaneous any time of day. Tadalifil has my highest approval. In one day for me. $18 for 90, 5mg, at Costco with no insurance.

Thanks for the video! The assumption that Tadalafil be associated with QTc prolongation has been proven wrong in studies since 2005. None of the three agents are dangerously associated with QTc prolongation, although vardenafil has a warning for patients at risk for QTc prolongation. In evaluating cardiovascular adverse events in clinical trials, no signal to danger can be convincingly cited. In regard to Tadalafil, the contrary has been shown though to be beneficial for patients with cardiovascular desease.
Thanks for this, some of her stuff is hard to understand as she blasts through so much information, the edits help with shortening videos but between the fast talk and editing, zoom!!
Some other things will help also. Get rid of plastics, use extra virgin organic olive oil in or on foods and for older guys, take some micronized DHEA in small doses 10mg in the AM or 5 and 5 bedtime and waking. Also, beet powder in smothies or tea will help, take a while to build up but the nitric oxide will help. Dont take same time with ED meds however, thats too much vascularization.
Lady, you are a godsend!! THANK YOU!!!! I am about to try the 25 mg Sildenafil and I am so nervous because I do have high blood pressure but my BP is under control with carvidolol and Edarbyclor. I hope it does not raise my BP.
Of all the videos that you've done and I've watched this was the most informative and the best one of all of them no BS no fluffing no no nothing that you told the truth not that you don't tell the truth before but you told exactly why and because and how and all the other stuff that goes along with it so this this one I appreciate very much I had two cardiogenic shock heart attacks within 1 hours time I died at my job at Costco they brought me back to life and then I died again at the Bayonne Hospital in New Jersey then I wound up having kidney problems after all that all the doctors fix me up and now I'm working 100% And I have erections sleeping in the middle of the night
Sildenafil can be absorbed by placing it under your tongue and letting it dissolve. Yes, it tastes bad, but it's much quicker to act when absorbed that way.
Rena, anesthesia here. I’ve had a couple of patients tell me that they cut their sildanafil tablets in half and chew them and put the bits under their tongue to absorb, like nitro. Eliminates the first pass effect, etc. They do this due to the cost of the meds and say they get twice the mileage out of them. Any studies or anecdotal reports in your literature to support this? Good channel BTW, you are doing a good service.
Dr. Malik, my urologist prescribed the 20mg version of tadalafil that I absolutely love. I have two questions: 1) Being that it can last for up to 36 hours per dose, how soon is it safe to take another dose? 2) Does tadalafil have less and less effectiveness the longer you take it? Thank you!
Mm.. single dosing is different from daily dosing If you’re taking daily it is 5 mg daily More than that it should be as advised by the physician since you can have unintentional side effects from the drug or other drug interactions.
Mannnnn lol. I took one yesterday and didn't have much benefit, since starting my testosterone replacement I didn't have the need so I just took the first one and honestly laughed, I woke up this morning and sweet baby Jesus lol.. my wife is asleep at 6pm today lmao.
@@pjonespsfor daily use? Yes 5mg even helps for your gym routine but don’t add any preworkout powders if you are taking tadafil daily it’s dangerous for you
I know heavy drinking and great intimacy don't mix. Yet, I've never heard the downside to that called, "Whiskey'richard'." That's a new one. Thanks so much for that and for all the other helpful information in this video, Dr. Malik. Have a great day.
I like the way you present sensitive problems. You are very open, honest and easy to understand. As always I learned some things. I can't read the small font that comes with the products. Many thanks.
Cialis causes me to have just about every side effect listed on the box.... huge back ache, very stuffy nose, cant sleep....but I like the fact that it lasts all damn weekend. Wish I could take it vs the Viagra
I am taking Cialis daily after prostrate removal. Does it really matter when I take the medication, since it is being used to promote blood flow to speed up healing.
I’m a healthy 66 years old man and when I use viagra it can take up to 6 hours to work. I plan accordingly and my girl is happy to be in the mood when I’m ready. What can I do to shorten that time if anything? Love your UA-cam videos💜
These explanations and all sexual education should be thoroughly taught in schools at an early age. It’s very important. Our sexual behaviour & understanding would greatly be enhanced by it. It all about respect of oneself and the opposite sex.
Public schools can't even teach the basics of reading, writing and begginer math. As an example 50% of Chicago (despite enormous taxpayer funding) citizens are functionally illiterate. Sex education is the reason kids are supposed to have parental guidance.
Do not teach sex to children 🤦🏽♂️ let the parents handle it at home when they come of age. If they aren't up to the task, then there should be a program for that. The government/school system should not be involved in any way
I have tried two of these drugs. They both worked for me. I have had a failure when taking the medication with a large meal. Otherwise............my woman is more than happy with the result of these medications ;)
On more than one occasion I tried the little blue pill and all that resulted was a headache so severe I was incapable of doing anything! Doctors had no explanation each time.
Tadalafil only takes about 15 minutes to work, works first time and every time, I personally have used Tadalafil and it works with your natural arousal system, when you have taken Tadalafil it works when you get aroused, arousal lessens then so does the penis erection, arousal goes up and so does your penis, its very natural, one tablet can last up to 18 - 24 hours.
Can tadalafil on small dosages can be helpful even if someone has no problems with rection? Just by improving blood flow. By small dosages I mean 2.5 mg
Tequila is the only non depressant. I take cyalis with warm water hits faster. The amino acids, citruline malate, arginine definitely help. Watermelon and beets
Sildenafil didn't work for me, gave me headaches and the rare side effect of seeing blue light. Daily Tadalafil works well for me with no side effects.
@@YoungTravMrTCS No, it only lasted a few hours and would wear off. yay, because it is really harsh, especially with LED lighting, they make a lot of blue.
I have spastic paraplegia which disrupts my nervous system. Sidenafil works best aa it's quickly more intense. I will try the daily tadalfil for a month to see about that. Thanks to this channel I get quality information about it all.
I've had HSP for 6 years now. It royally sucks. Started as just "catching" my toe on the floor while walking and has progressed to using 2 canes or a rollator while out now. How is it for you?
@@Stationary76 was diagnosed in my 30s. I am now 52. I live on baclofen. I try to swim and exercise bike to keep mobility but my legs are pretty stiff. I have less than 50% feeling from the stomach down. I have to manage sleep or if I'm tired I can't walk. I fight to keep moving. Keep active. I moved to work in SE Asia where it's warm and less challenging. When I go back to Europe, the cold air attacks the muscles. Keep fighting and moving and doing as much as possible. If you stop doing you can lose that.
Tadalafil 20mg 30 tablets count year round prescription instead of 36hrs or 24hrs i take it every other day early morning peeing time usually 6am-7am so your stomach automatically empty for dissolving better lay back down it'll be done settled by time i awake for the day so if its on Monday morning ill take another wensday morning 👌🏽
started taking the blue pill several yrs ago and was pleasantly surprised it actually worked so many drugs advertised on tv don't work at all esp many of the OTC ones but despite my own results think it was terrible mistake to allow ads for prescription drugs on tv but know it's probably irreversible
Low levels of testosterone can also be an issue or a combination of things which at 67yrs now with HRT and Tadalifil I have my life as I was 40yrs.old. OMG
I'll take 20mg of sildenafil about 30-60 minutes prior to bedroom fun on an empty stomach. Just the boost I need for two rounds. No side effects issues.
@@g_mason8867 not that I've noticed. Best part is if she's ready again it's a 5-10 minute recovery time then I'm ready again. That minimal dose even carries over to morning if needed. I only take it 2-3 times when needed. Not every day.
Thank you. My Doctor only gives info if I inquire about it. So I look to you for my answers I may need. I'm also trying to get my buddy to sub to your channel but he is old school and tech isn't his strong suit. Cheers to you and all that you do in life.
I take flowmax and Cialis for BPH. .4 Tam and 5 Tad. The combo has helped a lot. Gone from 3+ times a night to once a night urination. Couldn’t tolerate 5 mg Tad so went to a half tablet and it has worked well. Before didn’t have serious erectile problems but in my late seventies sometimes didn’t last as long as it should. Now no issues. My concern is that I do take these together in the evening. What is the problem with doing this and should I separate them? Thanks for your informative videos.
I'm 50 and just started 5mg Tadalafil a week ago. I feel like I'm 20 again. I just have to think about sex and I'm rock hard. I purchased my 90 day supply from the Amazon pharmacy. Tip: I take an antacid at the same time to help relieve the acid reflux that can occur.
I've done 20mg daily Cialis for years to treat BPH with no issues. Talk with your doctor in case there are any issues specific to your health issues that might be a concern.
@@stannykiel4932 It depends on the person, so talk with your doctor to find what's right for you. I happen to have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and 20mg Tadalafil daily is the standard FDA-approved dose for that. It also treats my BPH, which is a bonus. I haven't had any issues with this dose during the 10 years I've been doing 20mg daily.
Great video - Thank you. If tadalafil loses efficacy in approximately two years, will stopping the medication for a period of time restore its efficacy?
That is not unusual so try one of the alternatives, but you might want to check with your doctor to see if some identified cause that might be of concern. If you feel fine otherwise, try Tadalifil. Sildenafil did not work at all for me but Tadalifil has been great.
Daily Cialis caused me to have chronic heartburn. I do better with Sildenafil, but it causes me to get a stuffy nose. Otherwise, no side-effects. Good info re separating this and Flowmax by 6 hours.
I have had a benefit of tadalafil lasting up to 10 days to 2 weeks after. .I have stopped taking it because I noticed it causes my nose to get stuffy and when I blow I get some blood
Doctor, What about taking a Blood thinner medicine 💊 once a day (morning). Can I take a blue 🔵💊 or 🟡 Yellow 💊 an Hour before hand (night)?!? With pineapple?
I am 68 with prostate cancer. Have had 45 radiation treatments and 2years of androgen deprivation therapy. My last a1c was 7.2. Very skeptical if these mess will help 😢
When a medication stops working, then the issue that caused complete impotence was the medication because often times, when folks report for impotence they are not completely impotent. That means some of these medications are toxic. Just forming a theory here... In other words, 30% is really the efficacy in the long haul of the medication and the other 30% is SOL because they'll never have an erection again. Trying to sort this out with a little humor. From what I see then, is that besides over prescribing the medications its being prescribed wrong. Other adjuvants that will make you strong and perhaps help with libido, enhancement potency may be BCAA...it's nutrition...Basic Chain Fatty Acids. Ugh, enough can not be said about vegetables and canned vegetables, as these help to balance and equilibrate water in the body so you're not pissing it all away etc. Vitamin C is another, along with Vitamin D, Zinc, Iodide etc. Don't leave it all up to the pharmacy or they control you...and they'll learn. Food that help people relax: sweet potato, teas, milk, carbs (potato chips, donuts etc.). Preworkouts: lemonade, OJ, citrus, plums, strawberries etc....I mean only the first two but got inspired...potato chips fall under a preworkout.
Lady you deserve an award for the service you are rendering to the MANKIND. You talk so lucidly and in such a simple way about a complex issue that ED is. The best part of your shows is HOPE that you give to MEN who are living with ED and giving the light to reach the light at the end of the tunnel and live life again.

5mg a day is best
Fall asleep, worse not tonight, im tired !
I was given the same thing for urin flow
She fall asleep, still do it. Trust me…she will wake up. ☺️🤷♂️

I'm quite happy with daily Tadalafil. Thanks for the video.
How long do you have to take it? Or is it constant, for everyday use for the rest of life?
@@SalmanKhan-rz3mc Well, it really helps with medication induced ED, plus there may be benefits to prostate health (I've heard), I'll take it until told I shouldn't.
@@SalmanKhan-rz3mc I take Tadalafil 5mg daily, gone from 4-6 nightly toilet breaks to 1-2 so am happy. 👍
That is not my experience. I took Sildenafil for a few years, it worked well but do take it before dinner, or skip dinner, you now have better things to do. I also had a urinary problem of not being able to start a stream 1st thing in morning. Urologist switched me to daily Tadalifil and the next morning I was able to urinate normally, but only after the morning wood went down. I'm 69..., I am now again, "as good once as I ever was" and spontaneous any time of day. Tadalifil has my highest approval. In one day for me. $18 for 90, 5mg, at Costco with no insurance.
ninety 5MG pills for $ 18.00? at Costco?? With no insurance and in the U.S.? How could that be?? Please advise T Y

I like the dissolving Tadalafil because it bypasses the stomach and goes into your blood faster.. at least, that's what my urologist states.
It will get a higher blood level and better absorbed and not passed through the body unused.
Stomach absorbance is always lower than sublingual.
The pill was going to dissolve in your stomach and go into your blood either way
Thanks for the video! The assumption that Tadalafil be associated with QTc prolongation has been proven wrong in studies since 2005. None of the three agents are dangerously associated with QTc prolongation, although vardenafil has a warning for patients at risk for QTc prolongation. In evaluating cardiovascular adverse events in clinical trials, no signal to danger can be convincingly cited. In regard to Tadalafil, the contrary has been shown though to be beneficial for patients with cardiovascular desease.
Thanks for this, some of her stuff is hard to understand as she blasts through so much information, the edits help with shortening videos but between the fast talk and editing, zoom!!
if it takes a month to build up in the body, how much or how often should it be taken during that first month?
My tadalafil stopped working after I had my left thyroid removed. But started to work again after taking thyroid replacement medication. Who knew.
So is it ok to take sildenafil and then have food right after?
I'm 31 and have been taking tadalafil completely wrong for longest time. Thanks for the video. I messed up in my 20s and now I do need assistance btw.
How did you mess up
@@marshallcj1 You seem a bit young to be taking this stuff.
Some other things will help also. Get rid of plastics, use extra virgin organic olive oil in or on foods and for older guys, take some micronized DHEA in small doses 10mg in the AM or 5 and 5 bedtime and waking. Also, beet powder in smothies or tea will help, take a while to build up but the nitric oxide will help. Dont take same time with ED meds however, thats too much vascularization.
Any suggestions on where to get some quality DHEA... Brand too?
Just take 3-5mg of L Citrulline daily it’ll help the natural way
this Dr explains Details so no more Hard to under Stand
Dr can you do a video about the safety recreational use of ED meds.
Lady, you are a godsend!! THANK YOU!!!! I am about to try the 25 mg Sildenafil and I am so nervous because I do have high blood pressure but my BP is under control with carvidolol and Edarbyclor. I hope it does not raise my BP.
Tadalafil is the only med that helps my bph issues, tried others and had side effects with them.
Of all the videos that you've done and I've watched this was the most informative and the best one of all of them no BS no fluffing no no nothing that you told the truth not that you don't tell the truth before but you told exactly why and because and how and all the other stuff that goes along with it so this this one I appreciate very much I had two cardiogenic shock heart attacks within 1 hours time I died at my job at Costco they brought me back to life and then I died again at the Bayonne Hospital in New Jersey then I wound up having kidney problems after all that all the doctors fix me up and now I'm working 100% And I have erections sleeping in the middle of the night
Sildenafil can be absorbed by placing it under your tongue and letting it dissolve. Yes, it tastes bad, but it's much quicker to act when absorbed that way.
You're the best Doc.
On a side note, it sucks being a man, as we can't just fake it. it's either 8 or 800, no in between.
Rena, anesthesia here. I’ve had a couple of patients tell me that they cut their sildanafil tablets in half and chew them and put the bits under their tongue to absorb, like nitro. Eliminates the first pass effect, etc. They do this due to the cost of the meds and say they get twice the mileage out of them. Any studies or anecdotal reports in your literature to support this? Good channel BTW, you are doing a good service.
Very interesting🤔
May have to try this👍👍
I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do that. But honestly I found no difference to just swallowing it.
Someone will eventually asked if the medication can be snorted like cocaine.
20 mg Tadaf. in quarters is plenty for me tbh - hard to avoid the blocked nose and hungover feeling thoug.
Dr. Malik, my urologist prescribed the 20mg version of tadalafil that I absolutely love. I have two questions: 1) Being that it can last for up to 36 hours per dose, how soon is it safe to take another dose? 2) Does tadalafil have less and less effectiveness the longer you take it? Thank you!
All I can add is that I will have been on 5 mg twice daily come this October and have not encountered any loss of efficacy!
@@darrellsmith360210mg in total daily?
Mm.. single dosing is different from daily dosing
If you’re taking daily it is 5 mg daily
More than that it should be as advised by the physician since you can have unintentional side effects from the drug or other drug interactions.
@@darrellsmith3602 how long??
@@rono1rono I have been on 2 5mg per day for 3 years and it’s efficacy seems to still be same!

I often take Tadalafil a couple hrs before going to the gym. It’s a great preworkout strength booster
I totaly agree being a workout booster and i get semi hard a lot eaiser
I just ordered 10mg of Tadalafil. Should I have gotten 5mg instead.
@@pjonespsfor daily use? Yes 5mg even helps for your gym routine but don’t add any preworkout powders if you are taking tadafil daily it’s dangerous for you

Cialis causes me to have just about every side effect listed on the box.... huge back ache, very stuffy nose, cant sleep....but I like the fact that it lasts all damn weekend. Wish I could take it vs the Viagra
I am taking Cialis daily after prostrate removal. Does it really matter when I take the medication, since it is being used to promote blood flow to speed up healing.
I’m a healthy 66 years old man and when I use viagra it can take up to 6 hours to work. I plan accordingly and my girl is happy to be in the mood when I’m ready. What can I do to shorten that time if anything? Love your UA-cam videos💜

These explanations and all sexual education should be thoroughly taught in schools at an early age. It’s very important. Our sexual behaviour & understanding would greatly be enhanced by it. It all about respect of oneself and the opposite sex.
Public schools can't even teach the basics of reading, writing and begginer math. As an example 50% of Chicago (despite enormous taxpayer funding) citizens are functionally illiterate. Sex education is the reason kids are supposed to have parental guidance.
Do not teach sex to children 🤦🏽♂️ let the parents handle it at home when they come of age. If they aren't up to the task, then there should be a program for that. The government/school system should not be involved in any way
@guy8360 How many parents do you know that are technically, much less morally, competent to do that?
Yeah not digging your "should be taught in schools at an early age" comment!
I have tried two of these drugs. They both worked for me. I have had a failure when taking the medication with a large meal. Otherwise............my woman is more than happy with the result of these medications ;)
On more than one occasion I tried the little blue pill and all that resulted was a headache so severe I was incapable of doing anything! Doctors had no explanation each time.
My only complaint is that it clogs my sinus making it hard to breath. Any suggestions to prevent that from happening.
Dear Dr Rena you are great very useful information👍💯💞❤
Hello Dr. Malik. Can you talk about Diabetes induces ED. Is there anything that can be done?
Tadalafil only takes about 15 minutes to work, works first time and every time, I personally have used Tadalafil and it works with your natural arousal system, when you have taken Tadalafil it works when you get aroused, arousal lessens then so does the penis erection, arousal goes up and so does your penis, its very natural, one tablet can last up to 18 - 24 hours.
Can tadalafil on small dosages can be helpful even if someone has no problems with rection? Just by improving blood flow. By small dosages I mean 2.5 mg
Yes absolutely.
Tequila is the only non depressant. I take cyalis with warm water hits faster. The amino acids, citruline malate, arginine definitely help. Watermelon and beets
Sildenafil didn't work for me, gave me headaches and the rare side effect of seeing blue light. Daily Tadalafil works well for me with no side effects.
You still see blue light?
I had the same thing with Sildenafil. The blue tint to vision was sometimes nice on bright days, since it was slightly like sunglasses.
@@YoungTravMrTCS No, it only lasted a few hours and would wear off. yay, because it is really harsh, especially with LED lighting, they make a lot of blue.
@@Dulcimerist It killed me especially with LED lighting.
@@gad3iii532 you should maybe switch to Bluechew I never had no problem besides a lil headache but I took advil and was perfectly fine

I take 1/2 every other day in my late 60's works just fine. It also started to work immediately!!
I unfortunately had a prostatectomy 2 years ago
In this case a more drastic treatment was required
But normal function is now returning
I had mine removed seven weeks ago. Waiting patiently for the nerves to respond again.
Daily tadalafil doesn’t work well for me for ED. It does work well for BPH symptoms. I prefer as needed sildenafil 50-75 mg for ED.
started taking the blue pill several yrs ago and was pleasantly surprised it actually worked so many drugs advertised on tv don't work at all esp many of the OTC ones but despite my own results think it was terrible mistake to allow ads for prescription drugs on tv but know it's probably irreversible
Thank you for the good information. How do those mods work for someone that has had radiation treatment for prostate cancer.
Both of those drugs give me a terrible headache. Levitra, on the other hand, works great for me with zero side affects.
Low levels of testosterone can also be an issue or a combination of things which at 67yrs now with HRT and Tadalifil I have my life as I was 40yrs.old. OMG
Sildenifil can cause tinitus also.
Are all of these daily? I’d rather use the one when needed approach thanks
Your videos are excellent as well as very helpful. Thank you

Couldn’t tolerate 5 mg Tad so went to a half tablet and it has worked well. Before didn’t have serious erectile problems but in my late seventies sometimes didn’t last as long as it should.

Question ? Can you take the Cialis every day or every other day with out hurting yourself? I mean high blood pressure, kidneys etc. Thank you
I've done 20mg daily Cialis for years to treat BPH with no issues. Talk with your doctor in case there are any issues specific to your health issues that might be a concern.
@@Dulcimerist 20 MG daily? Always thought that was a bit dangerous at that dose
@@stannykiel4932 It depends on the person, so talk with your doctor to find what's right for you.
I happen to have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and 20mg Tadalafil daily is the standard FDA-approved dose for that. It also treats my BPH, which is a bonus. I haven't had any issues with this dose during the 10 years I've been doing 20mg daily.
Great video - Thank you. If tadalafil loses efficacy in approximately two years, will stopping the medication for a period of time restore its efficacy?
What if Sildenafil was working wonders but now seems ineffective? Ive tried doubling the dose lol
That is not unusual so try one of the alternatives, but you might want to check with your doctor to see if some identified cause that might be of concern. If you feel fine otherwise, try Tadalifil. Sildenafil did not work at all for me but Tadalifil has been great.
Daily Cialis caused me to have chronic heartburn. I do better with Sildenafil, but it causes me to get a stuffy nose. Otherwise, no side-effects.
Good info re separating this and Flowmax by 6 hours.

When a medication stops working, then the issue that caused complete impotence was the medication because often times, when folks report for impotence they are not completely impotent. That means some of these medications are toxic. Just forming a theory here... In other words, 30% is really the efficacy in the long haul of the medication and the other 30% is SOL because they'll never have an erection again. Trying to sort this out with a little humor. From what I see then, is that besides over prescribing the medications its being prescribed wrong. Other adjuvants that will make you strong and perhaps help with libido, enhancement potency may be BCAA...it's nutrition...Basic Chain Fatty Acids. Ugh, enough can not be said about vegetables and canned vegetables, as these help to balance and equilibrate water in the body so you're not pissing it all away etc. Vitamin C is another, along with Vitamin D, Zinc, Iodide etc. Don't leave it all up to the pharmacy or they control you...and they'll learn. Food that help people relax: sweet potato, teas, milk, carbs (potato chips, donuts etc.). Preworkouts: lemonade, OJ, citrus, plums, strawberries etc....I mean only the first two but got inspired...potato chips fall under a preworkout.
