MEGALIS D TAB

Name: Megalis-D 10/30 Tablet (Brand Name)

Composition: MEGALIS D TAB contains a fixed-dose combination of Tadalafil (10mg) and Dapoxetine (30mg) as active ingredients.

Uses: This medication is primarily prescribed for adult men to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence), which is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. It also addresses premature ejaculation by improving control over ejaculation and increasing the time taken to ejaculate. Additionally, Tadalafil may help with symptoms of an enlarged prostate.

Dosage and Administration: Take one tablet orally with water, approximately 1 to 3 hours before anticipated sexual activity. It can be taken with or without food, though a high-fat meal may delay its onset of action. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet; swallow it whole. Do not exceed one dose per 24 hours.

Side Effects:

• Common: Nausea, dizziness, vomiting, dry mouth, indigestion, headache, flushing (warmth in face, ears, neck, trunk), nosebleeds, and limb pain.
• Serious: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden loss of vision or hearing, a prolonged or painful erection (priapism lasting more than 4 hours), severe allergic reactions, or symptoms of low blood pressure.

Precautions:

• Not intended for use in women or children.
• Avoid alcohol and grapefruit juice, as they can increase the risk of side effects.
• Do not take with nitrates (used for chest pain) or MAO inhibitors (antidepressants) due to severe interaction risks.
• Use with caution if you have heart conditions (e.g., heart attack, irregular heartbeat, angina, low or uncontrolled high blood pressure), liver or kidney impairment, bleeding disorders, or penile deformities.
• May cause dizziness or drowsiness; avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of sight and reach of children.

What is MEGALIS D TAB used for?

MEGALIS D TAB is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) and premature ejaculation in adult men. It can also help alleviate symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

How does MEGALIS D TAB work?

MEGALIS D TAB is a combination medication containing Tadalafil and Dapoxetine. Tadalafil works by relaxing the smooth muscles and widening blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow to help achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation. Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that increases serotonin levels in the nerves, thereby improving control over ejaculation and extending the time taken to ejaculate.

What is the usual dosage for MEGALIS D TAB?

The typical recommendation is to take one tablet orally with water, approximately 1 to 3 hours before anticipated sexual activity. It can be taken with or without food. It is crucial not to exceed one tablet within a 24-hour period or take it more than once a day, and always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage.

What are the possible side effects of MEGALIS D TAB?

Common side effects can include nausea, dizziness, vomiting, dry mouth, indigestion, nosebleeds, headache, and flushing (a sensation of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk). More serious, but less common, side effects include sudden vision or hearing loss, severe allergic reactions, cardiovascular issues, low blood pressure, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), which requires immediate medical attention.

Is MEGALIS D TAB safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

MEGALIS D TAB is not intended for use in women. There is limited information available regarding its use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and it is advised to consult a doctor if such circumstances arise, although the medication is generally prescribed only to men.

Can MEGALIS D TAB be taken with other medications?

MEGALIS D TAB should not be taken with certain medications, including MAO inhibitors (antidepressants) within 14 days, nitrates (used for chest pain/angina), riociguat (for pulmonary hypertension), or alpha-blockers, especially if you have heart problems, as this can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Caution is also advised with medicines that affect heart rhythm (e.g., thioridazine), antipsychotics, sleeping aids, opioid pain relievers, and anti-seizure medications, as these might increase drowsiness. Always inform your doctor about all prescription, over-the-counter, herbal medicines, and supplements you are currently taking, including St. John's wort.

What precautions should be taken while using MEGALIS D TAB?

MEGALIS D TAB is not for use in women or individuals under 18 years of age. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can worsen side effects like dizziness. Since this medicine can cause dizziness and sleepiness, it is important not to drive or operate heavy machinery until you understand how it affects you. Consult your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, heart conditions (such as a recent heart attack, stroke, heart failure, or uncontrolled blood pressure), bleeding disorders, or any penile deformities. Avoid consuming grapefruit juice as it may increase the levels of the medicine in your body.

What happens if a dose of MEGALIS D TAB is missed?

MEGALIS D TAB is typically taken on an as-needed basis, shortly before anticipated sexual activity. Therefore, missing a regular dose is generally not a concern as with daily medications. If you remember a missed dose, you can take it promptly. However, if your next scheduled dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to compensate for a missed one.

How should MEGALIS D TAB be stored?

MEGALIS D TAB should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It should be kept out of sight and reach of children. The recommended storage temperature is typically between 10ºC and 25ºC, or below 30ºC.
