Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
The active pharmaceutical ingredients contained in Tadacip tablets is Tadalafil. Each Tadacip tablet contains 20 mg of Tadalafil.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor type 5. It works by helping the blood flow into a penis to achieve and maintain an erection. Whenever Sexual stimulation occurs and leads to an erection it causes the production and release of nitric oxide in the penis. The nitric oxide which in turn stimulates the production of cyclic GMP in the smooth muscle cells.
cGMP is responsible for the smooth muscle relaxation and the enhanced blood flow to the corpus cavernosum. When the cGMP is destroyed by another enzyme, phosphodiesterase-5, the blood vessels return to their normal size, blood leaves the penis, and the erection ends. Tadalafil blocks the Phosphodiesterase type 5 pathways. Since sexual arousal or stimulation is required for the release of nitric oxide, the blockage of PDE 5 by Tadalafil has no significant effect in the absence of sexual arousal.

Tadacip, must not be used in men with cardiac disease for whom sexual activity is inadvisable. Doctors must consider the potential cardiac risk of sexual activity in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
Tadacip is contraindicated in patients who have loss of vision in one eye because of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION), regardless of whether this episode was in connection or not with previous PDE5 inhibitor exposure.
The co-administration of PDE5 inhibitors, including tadalafil, with guanylate cyclase stimulators, such as Riociguat, is contraindicated as it may potentially lead to symptomatic hypotension.

Generic Tadalafil (Tadacip Tablets) – Drug Interactions
The drug Interactions of Tadacip (Generic Tadalafil Tablets) are given below:
Nitrates:
Administration of Generic Tadalafil to patients who are using any form of organic nitrate, is contraindicated. In clinical pharmacology studies, Tadacip was shown to potentiate the hypotensive effect of nitrates.
Alpha-Blockers:
Caution is advised when PDE5 inhibitors are coadministered with alpha-blockers. PDE5 inhibitors, including Tadacip, and alpha-adrenergic blocking agents are both vasodilators with blood-pressure-lowering effects. When vasodilators are used in combination, an additive effect on blood pressure may be anticipated.
Antihypertensives:
PDE5 inhibitors, including Tadalafil, are mild systemic vasodilators. Clinical studies were conducted to assess the effect of Tadalafil on the potentiation of the blood-pressure-lowering effects of selected antihypertensive medicines (Amlodipine, Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers, Bendrofluazide, Enalapril, and Metoprolol). Small reductions in blood pressure occurred following coadministration of Tadalafil tablets with these agents compared with placebo.
Alcohol:
Both alcohol and Tadalafil, a PDE5 inhibitor, act as mild vasodilators. When mild vasodilators are taken in combination, blood-pressure-lowering effects of each individual compound may be increased. Substantial consumption of alcohol (e.g.,5 units or greater) in combination with Generic Tadalafil (Tadacip Tablets) can increase the potential for orthostatic signs and symptoms, including increase in heart rate, decrease in standing blood pressure, dizziness, and headache.
