How is this possible? Wouldn't everyone just start using the tablets instead of the pills. Did they just rip me off? ## Hello, Dan! How are you? Tadalafil is a generic for Cialis, it is completely normal for generics to become available after a certain period of time and yes, most people do end up taking them, because once a generic is available, most insurance plans won't cover the name brand, due to the high price. So no, you were not ripped off. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stuffy nose and priapism. Is there anything else I can help with?
I found a large dark blue oval pill with 100 imprinted on one side, no imprint on the other. It is white on the inside. can anyone tell me what this is ## Hello, Karen! How are you? I'm sorry, but so far, I've been unable to find anything that matches this description, however, I'll keep looking and post back, when I have more information for you. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## Hi Karen, I have some of these. They're blue and marked 100 and blank on the other. its white in the middle. I can confirm that they are Viagra. I suffer from ED problems and they work really well, too well even. hope this has been a help ## Yes I have those also and definitely they are viagra and works very well ## Jay can you tell me where I can fill a prescription for these pills......
are there any erectile dysfunction pills which are small, pink, and have a line across the middle ## Hi, Carol! Are there any markings on the tablet? If not, we can rule it out as being a U.S. prescription ED medication, because they all have imprints on them, as required by law to enable their identification…and there aren't any here that are available over the counter. They all require a doctor's prescription. ## I am a diabetic patient. Could I take sildenafil tablets IP 100 mg? l am 56 years old and experiencing signs of ED. Please help me.
It swelled but went away. Will this get better or worse. Should I have a major concern ## Hello, Dave! How are you? Yes, you should be concerned. There is a chance that might be due to an allergic reaction and, if that is the case, they tend to worsen with repeated exposure to medication that caused it, according to the NIH. Thus, it would be best to consult your doctor to have this checked out. Letting it get worse could result in swelling that prevents you from breathing. Has there been any change?
I've been taking Fortesta in the morning, but as I'm always rushing, sometimes I forget. I would rather take at night - helps me maintain a more reliable schedule - is that a huge problem? I know all the literature seems to indicate to take in the AM. Also, I am currently on four pumps. Is that a normal/typical dose and how many of you guys have experienced weight gain with this. Thanks, ## Hello, JT! How are you? The instructions do say to use it in the morning and it is know that our hormones can fluctuate throughout the day, so there may be good reason they tell you to use it then. Thus, I'd suggest asking your doctor, before you make the change. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything el...
Can you use fortesta 2 times a day? Such as morning and evening. ## Hello, Jim! How are you? You should only use it according to your doctor's prescribing instructions. Using too much could result in a hormone imbalance the other way and too high of a level can also cause many medical issues. When was your testosterone level last checked? ## It's been about 4 months since my last test. I can tell my level drops off significantly after 8 hrs. Another application and I feel much better. ## Of course you could split the dosage in 12hr shifts. The peak after dosing is the fourth hr w/second-fifth hr being the sweet spot. But, in doing so you lose the euphoria of the fourth hr peak which will now be half as much though twice a day. In once a day dose you start feeling the effect at o...

Updated in TestosteroneWhat do these pills look like. Please send me colors and shapes of this pill. ## @Manuel, Based on my research, I've seen these Maxifort Zimax 50 mg tablets depicted as being light orange and round. I've also seen 100mg tablets that are oblong and violet in color. Please note however that these depictions are based on stock images and may not accurately represent their true color. If you're still unsure about these, I'd encourage you to bring a tablet to your local pharmacy for a closer evaluation. Hope this helps! ## They're are pink and oblong shape ## They look like the form/shape of Cialis and pale orange I have some here in my hand at the moment... works better than Viagra. ## yes them are the ones pink and oblong 100mg work grate got some myself from mexeco
Please help me identify this pill that I found on the floor in my home. I'm concerned about what it may be and the effects if my dog ate it. ## Hi Sharon, I have yet to find an exact match to your pill, but based on your description, the closest thing I'm seeing is a possible foreign version of Viagra (sildenafil) made in India. The description for this particular tablet is a blue diamond-shaped pill marked with VGR on one side and 100 on the other. I'm not sure what the effects would be if a dog ate Viagra (assuming that's what it is), but I probably wouldn't want to be around to find out. Lol. If your dog did eat it, I would probably recommend calling your vet or possibly poison control just to be on the safe side. Do you have any idea who may have left it on your ...
I am taking Androgel and it is not working as expected. So the Dr wants to put me the Testopil injection. Nevertheless, whether on an external source or internal, is there a good work regiment anyone can suggest while using this stuff? I am 53 and my level recording was 26, way too low. I weigh 225 at 6 foot, well out of shape but want or need to be around 180. So I am feeling this sense of ambition to improve my health and well being now that I am taking some sort of testosterone. Any suggestions will be helpful! Thanks!
Updated in AndroGelSo I tell the doctor I'd like a Cialis prescription because no matter how much I love my partner I'm not too sexually attracted to her and being 60 years of age I need a little help to achieve and maintain erections. Totally honest. Totally a MISTAKE. She was universally offended for all woman and even got into telling me to maybe choose a different partner, maybe the partner wasn't attracted to me and not trying and all that malarkey. So, what's the magic words to secure a subscription?
Updated in CialisI ordered Viagra and the pharmacy send me Nizagara instead. What is the difference between the two drugs? I am not satisfied with my order. ## From what they list about it, there is no difference, they both contain the active ingredient Sildenafil. Nizagara is just a foreign brand name for it, while in the U.S. and Canada, it is sold as Viagra. Have you tried contacting the company? Have you tried any of the tablets. yet? ## I have never used this Nizagara or viagra....I am in great shape for my age of 61 to be soon within this month of April...do I need viagra..not really...but I would like to increase my drive and affection..i should go to the doctor for the exam...and a presription drug viagra..but i have order this drug from India..is this safe and please give me more information on...
I was receiving inj's. for several years, felt great but was a pain. My doctor suggested I switch to Testopel as my insurance covered it 100%. However, I've burned thru 10 pellets in 5 weeks. I spiked pretty fast & dropped even faster. Doctor is puzzled since it was supposed to last 3-4 months. Now I have to supplement with inj's. to buy time until I can get on the schedule for more pellets. Will they last longer the 2nd time? Anyone else have this happen?
Updated in TestopelHealthy fit 69 year old that takes no meds. Cut a 20mg in half and took first half and first ever dose at 915am on Fri. From 12:15 pm til 6pm it had plenty of opportunities and reasons to work but nothing. Took the second half at 6:30pm Fri evening and still no help and suddenly around 8:30pm some of the listed side effects kicked it.The desired good effects never materialized and the negative side effects lasted Fri night and thru all of Sat. Later I did read that I shouldn't have taken two doses but in my defense I had read that some people were taking a 20mg dosage all at once which was my total intake with the 2 doses spread over 9 hours. I did have a vasectomy as a 31 year old. I am not totally ED and just needed a little help I thought. Thoughts will be appreciated as my Ciali...
I see mfg date as Jan 2014, but don't see expiry date. Want to know if they carry 2 or 3 years validity from mfg date ## Hello, Makky! How are you? If they are still in a factory sealed container, they are good for about 4 to 5 years. However, if they are in a pharmacy dispensed bottle that leaves them exposed to the elements that cause degradation, they are only good for about a year, before they begin to lose efficacy, under FDA standards. The typical side effects of this medication as listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, runny nose and priapism. Is there anything else I can help with?

OK guys, gals, ladies, and, gentlemen. I have been taking Flomax, starting in 1996, or since it's release, and at that time, depended on samples from my primary care doctor, because, at that time flomax was 100$ for 30 capsules. Then, when my insurance started paying, the generic Tamsulosin was released, and to date I have remained on this medication for bph, and prior to 1996 Hytrin was prescribed, which also worked for me. For 22 years I have had to take something for bph and I'm now 60 yrs old. OK, I said all that to say on this. For 20 yrs I've taken FLOMAX 0.4 MG Capsules, and never had any side effects, but on 1 or 2 occasions, I ran out and was off for maybe a week before I could not urinate, and had immense pain trying, and desperately was ready to rob a pharmacy to ...
I was prescribed Axiron for Low T and have been using it every day as prescribed for 30 days now. I have noticed some very positive side effects, such as more energy and increased sex drive. Unfortunately, however, the effects are not all positive. I've been experiencing "peaks and valleys" in the effects of Axiron. Everything I have read about this medication states that the desired results will be noticeable, and the effects will plateau (even out) in approx. 15 days. After 31 days using Axiron, I am still having severe ups and downs--most noticeably with my moods and temper. (I have increased road rage, but on the plus side, I don't cry as much during sex. Lol.) All joking aside, if anyone else has had similar experiences with Axiron treatment, I would really like to ...
