Tadalafil Troche vs Pill: Understanding the Benefits
Tadalafil Troches
This medication requires a prescription from your doctor.
2.5mg, 5mg troches for daily use
5mg, 10mg, 20mg troches for use as-needed
Tadalafil is a potent medication for treating erectile dysfunction with a long duration of effectiveness. It is in the same class of drugs as sildenafil and works by increasing blood flow to penile tissues. Unlike sildenafil it does not need to be taken immediately before sexual activity but can be taken at any time or on a daily basis at lower dosages. A single dose of tadalafil can be effective for up to 36 hours and will only promote an erection in the presence of sexual stimulation. Because of its long duration, tadalafil has sometimes been referred to as “the Weekend Pill.”
What is the Dosage for Tadalafil Troches?
Tadalafil allows for sexual activity any time without needing to plan around taking a pill. For daily use, a 2.5mg or 5mg troche is prescribed and should be taken regularly for at a least a week before full effects can be expected. Studies have shown that when used daily it can have a cumulative effect, leading to better results in the long term compared to using it only as needed. For use as-needed, tadalafil is prescribed at higher dosages of 5mg, 10mg, or 20mg. Tadalafil can take 30 minutes to an hour to start working when only used as-needed.
How Does Tadalafil Work?
Tadalafil troches work by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5 to increase blood flow to the penis. Inhibiting PDE5 assists in relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle that controls blood flow. When the vascular smooth muscles are relaxed, blood flow is increased to the penis, which helps maintain an erection. Without sexual stimulation the medication will not work, which is why it can be taken on a daily basis. This gives more choice about when to initiate sexual activity than sildenafil – the active ingredient in Viagra. Sublingual administration leads to a faster onset and less risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
Other Uses for Tadalafil
Besides its use in treating erectile dysfunction, tadalafil has been used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and to improve exercise ability in these patients. It has also been FDA-approved and marketed under the brand name Cialis for treating both erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasis (BPH) together. BPH is a condition that results from an enlarged prostate gland that can cause problems with bladder control.

Tadalafil Troche vs Pill: Understanding the Benefits
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to maintain an erection firm enough to participate in sexual intercourse and isn’t uncommon. Estimates for how prevalent the condition is range from roughly one-third of the male population to more than 50 percent above the age of 50 and even as many as 26 percent of men under 40.
While there are many potential causes for occasional ED, and frequent bouts with the affliction can indicate health or relationship issues that may need medical treatment or counseling, there are easily available medicines that can alleviate the core problem.
Both Tadalafil (the main ingredient found in the brand product Cialis) and Sildenafil (the main ingredient found in Viagra) have been proven to help ED patients return to a healthy sex life. Lakeview Pharmacy has previously detailed the processes both medicines use and how they differ.
For many ED sufferers, however, Tadalafil has been the more preferred option given its duration of effects. Both medications affect the body in the same way and need similar times for their effects to manifest. However, Tadalafil can offer benefits for up to 36 hours once used, while Sildenafil has a duration of just 4-6 hours. That larger window gives patients more freedom and much less need to plan ahead, which many users prefer.
Why Tadalafil Troches Can Serve you Better than Traditional Pills
In addition to offering a preferred duration, Lakeview Pharmacy can also offer Tadalafil in a preferred form. The question of whether to use a Tadalafil troche vs pill comes down to your preference, but troches offer several advantages not found in ingesting the medication in a pill or capsule form.
First, the ease of taking the medication via a troche — think of it as a lozenge — aids in enhancing the effectiveness of the medication. Troche medication comes in small, portable lozenges that are simply placed between the cheek and gum line. No water needed, no swallowing necessary.
The medication will be absorbed into the body via the blood vessels and mucus membranes in the mouth. The benefit here is the medication should be effective more quickly; it won’t enter the digestive process, or be processed by your liver.
Also, with the steady dissolving rate of a troche — each will take up to 30 minutes to be completely consumed — the medication will enter your body at a consistent rate. Instead of a pill delivering a highly concentrated batch of the medication at once, the troche technique could smooth out any issues you may have with a spike of a particular drug hitting your system all at once.
By taking a Tadalafil troche vs pill, you will keep the medication out of the digestive tract. Many medications lose a portion of their potency going through the digestive process, and you may need a higher dosage to get the preferred result. With a troche system of delivery, it’s possible to lower your required dosage to achieve the same result. By avoiding the digestive tract, you can also sidestep some of the side effects associated with the medication. If a pill leaves you nauseous, or with an upset stomach, taking the same medication with a troche should help.
Compounding and Lakeview, Working Together for You
Lakeview Pharmacy is a compounding pharmacy, and such establishments are where you can obtain Tadalafil troches. Medication troches, and other non-traditional forms of medication, are prepared by compounding pharmacies according to the specific needs of the patient and the exact directions of that patient’s medical professional.
Compounding has evolved into a specialty service within the pharmacy community and is well-regulated. Just as any pharmacy must adhere to certain standards to be allowed to fill your regular pill or capsule prescriptions, there are regulations and rules for compounding pharmacies as they take medications and craft them into different or more easily taken forms.
The Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the Drug Enforcement agency, and state-level medical boards and boards of pharmacy all share some of the oversight covering pharmacy compounding practices. Lakeview Pharmacy will have trained pharmacists on staff to handle each specific prescription to ensure it is converted into an easily-taken form that is also safe.
Our compounding pharmacy techniques are essential if you’re interested in moving to a Taladafil troche vs pill treatment plan. Lakeview can also serve other compounding needs such as creating topical creams or transdermal gels.
Tadalafil 20mg Troche #30
Tadalafil also known as Cialis, is used to treat male sexual function problems (impotence or erectile dysfunction-ED). In combination with sexual stimulation, tadalafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help a man get and keep an erection. Tadalafil is also used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH).
The troche form results in faster absorption into the blood stream, which in turn can help with performance anxiety.
Effects can last up to 36 hours & onset varies from 20 mins to an hour, depending on the individual.

Tadalafil Troche vs Cialis
Troches are a form of medicine similar to a hard candy in shape and size. They are a solid lozenge produced in our pharmacy and designed to dissolve in the patient’s mouth. Troches are generally great for clients who have trouble with swallowing medications. Like any other medication troches contain the main active ingredient needed to treat the specified illness. This form of administration generally provides greater bioavailability for the drug. Since troches dissolve in the mouth, it bypasses the digestive system and goes directly to the bloodstream through the blood vessels under our tongues and in our cheeks. This method avoids the digestive system and any filtration from the liver.
When making the prescriptions, compounding pharmacies are able to customize different aspects of the troche. Flavor, size, and dosage are different aspects of their medicine that patients can choose. Mini troches are available for smaller dosage sizes and will dissolve faster in the mouth.
What is Tadalafil?
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. The medications functions by relaxing blood vessels in the lungs in order increase blood flow. Tadalafil is the main ingredient used in Cialis. Its main purpose is to treat erectile dysfunction. With increased blood flow in the body, the penis is able to more easily receive blood to develop an erection during sexual stimulation. It also is able to alleviate symptoms from an enlarged prostate such as difficulty urinating or frequent bathroom trips.
Tadalafil does not cure erectile dysfunction but instead temporarily makes it easier to develop an erection for the user. Sildenafil is another drug that helps with erectile dysfunction and is the main ingredient in Viagra.
Efficacy of Tadalafil Troche
Tadalafil troches work faster than conventional tablets. The drug does not lead to an erection on its own, sexual stimulation is still needed. Its rapid effectiveness, however, allows a larger window for spontaneousness with the user’s sexual experience. Generally, the troche will take 30 to 60 minutes to work. Once the effect is in place, the user will be able to develop an erection once they engage in sexual activity. Tadalafil only needs to be taken once a day as long as it is at least 30 minutes before any sexual activity.
Tadalafil is generally very well tolerated. Most men won’t experience side effects, but some may experience:
The 3 most common dosage sizes for tadalafil are 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. Mini troches dissolve in 5 seconds or less in the mouth. The 5mg dosage size is taken daily to help alleviate benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Your pharmacist and medical provider can help you determine the dosage size needed for your needs.
