Tadalafil Tablets 40mg


Vidalista 40mg N10 (Tadalafil)

The drug will only assist in the process of erection, but sexual stimulation is needed in order for it to work. Tadalafil also helps BPH by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder area to improve blood flow. This action will help easy flow of urine to address symptoms of BPH.

Vidalista does not cure erectile dysfunction, offer protection from sexually transmitted diseases, increase a man’s libido, nor serves as a form of birth control in men.
