Femalefil 10 mg (Tadalafil)

What Is Femalefil 10 mg?

Femalefil 10 mg contains 10 mg of tadalafil as its active ingredient. Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor.

Approved tadalafil products are primarily used for erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia in men, while certain tadalafil products are also used for pulmonary arterial hypertension. According to DailyMed, tadalafil tablet labeling includes ED and BPH indications.

Femalefil may be promoted for female sexual arousal, but tadalafil should not be described as a proven treatment for low female libido, vaginal dryness or female sexual dysfunction. NHS clinical information notes that tadalafil has not been shown to improve sexual function in women.

How Does Femalefil 10 mg Work?

Tadalafil blocks an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This slows the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a chemical involved in smooth-muscle relaxation and blood-vessel dilation.

The resulting vasodilating effect can increase blood flow in certain tissues.

However, increased blood flow should not be confused with increased sexual desire. Sexual desire and arousal can involve hormonal, psychological, neurological, relationship and physical factors. Therefore, tadalafil should not be assumed to directly increase libido in women.

For more general medicine and safety information, see the NHS tadalafil guide.

How to Take Femalefil 10 mg

Femalefil 10 mg should only be taken if a healthcare professional has determined that tadalafil is appropriate for you.

Swallow the tablet whole with water. Tadalafil can generally be taken with or without food. Do not increase the dose or take additional tablets simply because the expected effect has not occurred.

The appropriate dose and frequency depend on why tadalafil is being used, other medical conditions and medicines being taken.

If Femalefil has been recommended for an off-label purpose, follow the prescriber’s instructions rather than dosage information intended for treating erectile dysfunction in men.

Side Effects

Tadalafil can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common effects reported with tadalafil include:

• Headache
• Indigestion
• Facial flushing
• Stuffy or blocked nose
• Back pain
• Muscle aches
• Pain in the arms or legs
• Dizziness

Seek urgent medical attention for severe chest pain, sudden changes in hearing or vision, difficulty breathing or signs of a serious allergic reaction.

Persistent or troublesome side effects should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist.

Warnings & Interactions

Do not combine tadalafil with nitrate medicines used for conditions such as angina. This combination can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure.

Tell your healthcare professional if you use blood-pressure medicines, alpha-blockers, riociguat, certain antifungal medicines, antibiotics, HIV medicines or other medicines that may interact with tadalafil.

Medical advice is particularly important if you have cardiovascular disease, very low blood pressure, uncontrolled high blood pressure or a history of heart attack or stroke.

Avoid taking tadalafil together with another PDE5 inhibitor unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.

Safety Advice

🫀 Liver Disease

The liver plays an important role in processing tadalafil. People with liver impairment may need additional assessment before using it. Do not change the dose yourself if you have liver disease.

🫘 Kidney Impairment

Kidney problems can affect how tadalafil is cleared from the body. People with significant kidney impairment may require dose or frequency changes depending on the indication. Speak with a healthcare professional before use.

🤰 Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

The NHS advises avoiding tadalafil during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless its use has been specifically assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

🍷 Alcohol & Things to Avoid

Alcohol and tadalafil can both lower blood pressure. Drinking larger amounts may therefore increase dizziness or light-headedness.

Avoid grapefruit juice while taking tadalafil because it can affect tadalafil levels and potentially increase side effects.

Tadalafil must not be combined with recreational nitrate drugs such as amyl nitrate or “poppers”.

Storage

Keep Femalefil 10 mg in its original packaging in a dry place away from excessive heat, direct sunlight and moisture.

Keep the tablets out of the sight and reach of children. Do not use tablets after their expiry date, and ask a pharmacist how to dispose of unwanted or expired medicines safely.
