Vidalista Pro
In brief
- In our pharmacy, you can buy Vidalista Pro without a prescription; however, tadalafil is formally a prescription-only medicine in the UK and medical oversight is recommended.
- Vidalista Pro contains tadalafil and is used primarily to treat erectile dysfunction; it is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that increases cGMP in smooth muscle, causing relaxation and increased blood flow to the penis (also used in other doses for PAH and BPH).
- The usual dose for erectile dysfunction is 10â20 mg taken prior to sexual activity (Vidalista products commonly appear as 20 mg tablets); lower daily regimens (2.5â5 mg) are used for continuous treatment and higher split doses apply for PAH under supervision.
- The form of administration is an oral tablet.
- The effect typically begins within about 30 minutes, though onset can vary between individuals (sometimes sooner or slightly later).
- The duration of action can extend up to about 36 hours, which is why tadalafil is often called "the weekender".
- Avoid excessive alcohol while taking Vidalista Pro â alcohol can worsen dizziness, increase the risk of low blood pressure and impair erectile response.
- The most common side effect is headache (others include back pain, muscle pain, flushing, dyspepsia and dizziness).

Clinical effectiveness in the UK
Tadalafil improves sexual function measures and patient satisfaction when prescribed after appropriate assessment.
Primary care prescribing uses licensed tadalafil products after cardiovascular baseline checks and discussion of expectations.
Adherence can be limited by side effects or unrealistic onset expectations.
Indications and expanded uses â MHRAâapproved and offâlabel practices
In the UK, tadalafil is licensed for erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia and, under separate brands, for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Vidalista Pro itself is not licensed in the UK.
NHS protocols commonly use onâdemand dosing for ED and daily lowâdose regimens where clinically appropriate.
Specialists may consider offâlabel uses in select cases such as certain pelvic pain syndromes, but these are evaluated individually with informed consent.
| Indication | Standard dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Erectile dysfunction | 10â20 mg prior to sexual activity | Onâdemand; do not take more than once daily |
| Benign prostatic hyperplasia | 5 mg once daily | Daily regimen for LUTS/BPH symptoms |
| Pulmonary arterial hypertension | 40 mg/day (separate brands) | Specialist supervision required |
- Licensed vs offâlabel: Licensed means approved indication and dosing by regulator; offâlabel means clinician prescribes outside that licence with documented rationale.
- Prescription status: Tadalafil is prescriptionâonly.
Composition and brand landscape â active ingredient, brands, manufacturers
The active ingredient across all products is tadalafil, the International Nonproprietary Name.
Tadalafil was originally developed by Eli Lilly; Vidalista is produced by Centurion Laboratories Ltd.
Licensed tadalafil tablet strengths are 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg, with Vidalista Pro marketed as a 20 mg tablet.
- Consumer checklist: prescription only, check packaging and batch details, verify pharmacy registration and MHRA checks where applicable.
Contraindications and special precautions â highârisk groups and lifestyle advice
Absolute contraindications include concurrent use of nitrates or nitric oxide donors, recent myocardial infarction or stroke, unstable angina, severe hypotension, severe hepatic impairment and known allergy to tadalafil or excipients.
Relative contraindications requiring closer monitoring include significant renal impairment, use of alphaâblockers or multiple antihypertensives, retinitis pigmentosa and history of priapism or penile deformity.
Lifestyle advice: avoid heavy alcohol around dosing as dizziness and syncope risk increases, and avoid driving if affected by dizziness or visual disturbance after taking tadalafil.
| Category | Items |
|---|---|
| Absolute contraindications | Nitrates; recent MI/stroke; unstable angina; severe hypotension; severe hepatic impairment; allergy to tadalafil |
| Relative / monitor closely | Renal impairment; concurrent alphaâblockers; multiple antihypertensives; retinitis pigmentosa; priapism history |
Pharmacy counselling should document comorbidities and concurrent medicines in line with NHS pharmacy practice.
Dosage guidelines â regimens and adjustments
Licensed dosing: for erectile dysfunction the typical onâdemand dose of tadalafil is 10â20 mg taken before sexual activity and not more than once daily.
For patients needing continuous therapy, daily lowâdose regimens such as 2.5â5 mg are used under supervision, and BPH is commonly managed with 5 mg once daily.
Specialâpopulation notes: children not indicated; elderly generally need no routine change but assess comorbidities; avoid in severe hepatic impairment and use caution or lower dose in severe renal impairment.
| Indication | Typical dose | Special notes |
|---|---|---|
| ED (on demand) | 10â20 mg before activity | Not more than once daily |
| ED (daily) | 2.5â5 mg once daily | For continuous use; clinician decision |
| BPH | 5 mg once daily | Daily longâterm therapy |
- NHS counselling checklist: timing of dose, maximum frequency, what to do with a missed dose, warnings about overdose and when to seek urgent care.
Interactions overview â drugs and food
The most important interaction is with nitrates, which can cause severe hypotension and is an absolute contraindication.
Concomitant alphaâblockers or multiple antihypertensives increase risk of additive hypotension and require careful monitoring or dose adjustment.
CYP3A4 inhibitors such as some azole antifungals and ritonavir can raise tadalafil exposure and may require dose adjustments or avoidance.
| Drug/class | Mechanism | Clinical advice |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrates | Potentiates nitric oxide pathway | Do not coâadminister; absolute contraindication |
| Alphaâblockers / antihypertensives | Additive hypotensive effect | Monitor blood pressure; consider timing or dose adjustment |
| CYP3A4 inhibitors | Increase tadalafil plasma levels | Adjust dose or avoid as per product guidance |
| Food / Alcohol | Food minimal effect; heavy alcohol increases syncope risk | Advise moderation around dosing |
Pharmacists should check medication records and ask about recreational nitrates such as "poppers".
Comparable medicines and preferences â alternatives, pros and cons
Alternatives for erectile dysfunction are sildenafil (Viagra) and vardenafil (Levitra).
Tadalafil's main clinical differentiator is its longer duration, up to 36 hours, which suits patients seeking a more spontaneous window compared with sildenafil's shorter action.
| Medicine | Onset | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tadalafil (Vidalista) | From ~30 minutes | Up to 36 hours | Suitable for planned spontaneity; side effects: headache, back pain, flushing |
| Sildenafil | ~30â60 minutes | Shorter duration than tadalafil | Well recognised; preferred when shorter action needed |
| Vardenafil (Levitra) | Similar onset to sildenafil | Intermediate duration | Alternative where tadalafil or sildenafil unsuitable |
- Pros for tadalafil: longer duration, daily lowâdose option for BPH and ED maintenance.
- Cons for tadalafil: interactions and contraindications similar to other PDE5 inhibitors; not suitable with nitrates.

- Definition: PrescriptionâOnly (Rx) â medication requiring a valid prescription before supply.
- What to bring to pharmacy: a valid prescription, a list of current medicines and any cardiovascular history.
Guidelines for proper use â UK pharmacist counselling and NHS patient support
Pharmacist counselling must confirm current medicines and comorbidities, particularly any nitrate use, before supplying tadalafil.
Counselling points include dosing and timing, maximum frequency (not more than once daily for onâdemand ED dosing), and expected benefits and side effects such as headache or back pain.
Advise patients on storage below 25°C and protection from moisture and heat.
Warn patients to seek urgent care for priapism, sudden vision or hearing loss, or syncope after dosing.
- Pharmacist checklist: verify prescription, review meds for interactions, advise on dosing, counsel on side effects, document comorbidities.
- Referral pathways: GP review, urology clinic referral, or NHS 111 for urgent advice.
