Vidalista 5

What Is Vidalista 5?

Vidalista 5 mg is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It contains 5 mg of Tadalafil, a long-acting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and maintain a firm erection during sexual activity.

This formulation is often recommended for daily use due to its low dosage and consistent therapeutic effect.

Manufactured by Centurion Laboratories, a well-established Indian pharmaceutical company, Vidalista is produced under ISO- and GMP-certified conditions. It is considered a reliable and cost-effective alternative to Cialis.

Composition of Vidalista 5

Each tablet of 5 mg contains:

• Active Ingredient: Tadalafil 5 mg
• Inactive Ingredients: Croscarmellose sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, hydroxypropyl cellulose

These excipients are designed to ensure optimal absorption, tablet stability, and tolerability.

Who Should Use Vidalista 5?

Vidalista is intended for adult men aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

It is especially suited for men who prefer a low-dose, daily ED treatment to maintain spontaneous sexual readiness.

Medical Uses of Vidalista 5

Primary Indications:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Off-Label Uses (only under strict medical supervision):

• Raynaud’s phenomenon

How Vidalista 5 Works

Tadalafil, the active compound in Vidalista 5 mg, works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which normally restricts blood flow in the penile region. By blocking this enzyme, Tadalafil promotes the relaxation of blood vessels and smooth muscle, enhancing blood circulation to the penis.

Unlike on-demand ED medications, this daily-dose formulation maintains steady levels of Tadalafil in the bloodstream, allowing for spontaneous sexual activity without the need for precise timing.
