Description

A tadalafil lozenge would be an orodispersible form of the drug tadalafil, used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) by improving blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Tadalafil lozenges dissolve in the mouth rather than being swallowed as a tablet.

Prescription

 Prescription-only medicine (POM/Rx).
Tadalafil is a regulated pharmaceutical drug and requires a doctor’s prescription — it should not be taken without medical supervision due to potential serious side effects and interactions.

Therapeutic Category

Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor — used for erectile dysfunction and sometimes also for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Active Ingredients/Composition

• Tadalafil — the active ingredient, usually in doses such as 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg, depending on the product.
• Other excipients depend on the formulation (e.g., flavoring agents, fillers) — specific content varies by manufacturer.

Variant

Oral lozenge (or chewable/orodispersible form) — alternative to traditional tablets. Lozenges are designed to dissolve in the mouth.

Consume Type

Oral — dissolve in the mouth.
After dissolving, the active drug is absorbed systemically. Do not swallow the lozenge whole like a tablet.

Directions/Usage

• Take as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
  Typically taken 30–60 min before sexual activity, but can also be used daily at lower doses if recommended.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose or take more frequently than instructed.

Common Side Effects

Tadalafil use commonly causes:

• Headache
• Indigestion / dyspepsia
• Back pain, muscle aches
• Flushing
• Nasal congestion
• Vision changes or stuffiness (sometimes)
  More serious risks include prolonged erections (priapism), hypotension (especially with nitrates), and hearing or vision loss in rare cases.

Package Type

• Depends on manufacturer/brand — typically blister packs or sachets for lozenges or individually wrapped units.
• Actual packaging varies by product and regulatory approval status.

Storage Advice

• Store at room temperature (typically below ~30 °C).
• Protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
  Keep out of reach of children.
  

Safety Advice

• Use only under medical supervision
  
• Do not use with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin) — this can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure
  
•  Avoid alcohol and certain blood pressure medicines unless cleared by your doctor
  
• Do not take if pregnant (tadalafil is only indicated in men/clinical indications) or in children
  
• Seek urgent care if an erection lasts >4 hours (priapism).
  
• Regular monitoring may be necessary in individuals with cardiovascular disease or on interacting medications.

Product Substitutes

Approved alternatives with the same active drug include:

• Tadalafil tablets (standard or orodispersible forms) from reputable manufacturers
• Other PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, vardenafil, avanafil) as prescribed by healthcare professionals.

Important: Do not substitute with unregulated herbal or online “sexual enhancement” products marketed with hidden active ingredients — these may be unsafe. Authorities have warned about similar products containing undeclared tadalafil.

Manufacturer/Marketer

For genuine tadalafil lozenges, the manufacturer and marketer must be a licensed pharmaceutical company with regulatory approval in your country. Because there is no verified listing specifically for “Dragon lozenges tadalafil,” the exact manufacturer for that name cannot be confirmed — many unregulated products labeled with “Dragon” have been found to contain tadalafil without proper controls.

Country of Origin

For approved tadalafil products, the origin depends on the licensed manufacturer and regulatory approvals (e.g., EU, US, India).
