Starting the conversation in Dallas
Douglas County men can discuss ED and prostate symptoms with Daniel Roberson, PA-C, at our Dallas Clinic. He'll review heart health, blood pressure, current medicines and what you've tried before, and explain how a daily low dose differs from taking a pill as needed.
Who it tends to suit
Daily dosing keeps a steady level in the body, which some men prefer for spontaneity. Tadalafil is also used for urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate, so it may help with both. It isn't for men who take nitrates, and side effects such as headache, flushing or back ache are discussed before starting.
Seek urgent care for
- Chest pain during or after sex
- An erection that lasts longer than four hours
- Sudden changes in vision or hearing
Common questions
Common questions
How long until it works?
Daily tadalafil builds up over several days, so judge it after steady daily use rather than the first doses. Once steady, it works with arousal at any time of day rather than needing to be timed.
What if it doesn't help enough?
Shockwave sessions, vacuum devices, penile injections and implants placed by our urologists in Marietta are further routes. Bring notes on how the daily dose worked, because that helps choose the next step.
Men from Douglasville, Lithia Springs and Villa Rica can phone (678) 344-8900 to schedule.
Some other medicines can interact with tadalafil, so mention everything you take, including supplements. A follow-up visit lets us check how well it's working and adjust the plan, and many men find the daily routine easy to keep once it's started.
Questions are always welcome.
Daniel Roberson will explain how to take it and what to watch for, and he'll set a time to check back on your progress.
