Megalis Information

Introduction

Megalis is a medication indicated for the management of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It contains the phosphodiesterase‑5 (PDE‑5) inhibitor tadalafil as its single active ingredient. In the United Kingdom, Megalis is classified within the Men’s Health therapeutic group and is supplied by a licensed manufacturer for oral use. The drug is also approved for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia‑related lower urinary tract symptoms when prescribed at the appropriate dose.

What is Megalis?

Megalis is a tablet formulation that delivers a precise amount of tadalafil, an oral PDE‑5 inhibitor originally developed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The product is manufactured by an established pharmaceutical company that follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and holds the necessary UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) authorisations for distribution. While Megalis is not a brand‑name product such as Cialis® or Adcirca®, it contains the same active molecule, providing a comparable pharmacological profile at a lower cost.

How Megalis Works

Tadalafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase‑5, which is responsible for breaking down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum. After sexual stimulation, nitric oxide released from endothelial cells stimulates the production of cGMP, leading to relaxation of cavernous smooth muscle and increased blood flow, producing an erection. By blocking PDE‑5, tadalafil prolongs the action of cGMP, thereby supporting erection in response to sexual cues.

Key pharmacokinetic points:

• Onset of action: clinical effects can appear as early as 30 minutes, although most men notice benefit within 1–2 hours.
• Duration: the drug’s half‑life is approximately 17.5 hours, allowing a therapeutic window of up to 36 hours, which underpins the “weekend‑pill” reputation.
• Metabolism: hepatic CYP3A4 enzymes metabolise tadalafil; renal excretion accounts for a minor proportion of clearance.

Conditions Treated with Megalis

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED): the primary indication. In the UK, surveys estimate that up to 20 % of men aged 40–70 experience moderate to severe ED, making effective oral therapy a public‑health priority.
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS): the same dosage regimen (5 mg once daily) improves urinary flow and reduces urgency, as demonstrated in the pivotal “TAD‑BPH” trials.

Both indications are supported by robust phase III data and are reflected in the product’s Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) approved by the MHRA.

Who is Megalis For?

Megalis is appropriate for adult males (≥ 18 years) who have a confirmed diagnosis of erectile dysfunction or BPH‑related LUTS and for whom a PDE‑5 inhibitor is not contraindicated. Typical candidates include:

• Men with vascular or neurogenic causes of ED who respond to on‑demand therapy.
• Individuals preferring a longer therapeutic window, enabling spontaneity without the need for precise timing.
• Patients with co‑existent BPH who may benefit from the daily‑dose formulation (5 mg).

Contra‑indications and cautionary situations:

• Patients using nitrates (e.g., glyceryl trinitrate) or nitric‑oxide donors, as co‑administration can cause profound hypotension.
• Men with severe uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction (within 30 days), or unstable angina.
• Individuals with hereditary retinal disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa.
• Those with severe hepatic impairment (Child‑Pugh C) require dose adjustment or avoidance.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Headache
• Flushing
• Dyspepsia (indigestion)
• Nasal congestion
• Back pain or muscle aches (typically occurring 12–24 hours after dosing)

These events are usually mild, transient, and resolve without medical intervention.

Rare

• Dizziness or orthostatic hypotension
• Visual (blurred vision, changes in colour perception)
• Priapism (prolonged erection lasting > 4 hours) – requires urgent attention

Serious

• Severe hypotension, especially when combined with nitrates or potent α‑blockers.
• Cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke) in patients with pre‑existing disease, though causality is not definitively established.
• Acute vision loss due to non‑arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

Drug‑Drug Interactions

• Nitrates (nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate): contraindicated.
• α‑Blockers (tamsulosin, alfuzosin): use caution; dose titration may be required.
• CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, erythromycin, ritonavir): can increase tadalafil plasma concentrations; consider dose reduction.
• CYP3A4 inducers (rifampicin, carbamazepine, St. John’s wort): may reduce efficacy.

Patients should disclose all current medications, including over‑the‑counter and herbal products, to a healthcare professional before initiating Megalis.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard on‑demand dosing: 10 mg taken orally with water, at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Depending on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg.
• Daily regimen for BPH/LUTS: 5 mg taken once daily at the same time each day, with or without food.

Missed dose (daily regimen): take the missed tablet as soon as remembered, unless the next scheduled dose is within 12 hours; in that case, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not double‑dose.

Overdose: symptoms may include severe headache, dizziness, hypotension, or prolonged erection. If overdose is suspected, seek immediate medical attention; supportive care is the mainstay of treatment.

Practical precautions:

• Food does not significantly affect absorption, but a high‑fat meal may delay onset by 1–2 hours.
• Alcohol in excess can exacerbate dizziness and hypotension; moderate consumption is advisable.
• Renal impairment does not require dose adjustment for the 10 mg/20 mg regimens, but clinicians may consider lower doses in severe hepatic disease.

FAQ

• Can Megalis be taken with a high‑fat meal?
  Yes, tadalafil’s absorption is not markedly reduced by food, but a high‑fat meal may delay the onset of action by up to two hours. Planning ahead can minimise any inconvenience.

• What does the Megalis tablet look like?
  The tablet is typically circular, film‑coated, and colour‑coded according to strength (e.g., blue for 10 mg, pink for 20 mg). Inactive ingredients include lactose, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose.

• Is it safe to travel internationally with Megalis?
  Carry the medication in its original packaging with the label clearly visible. For trips longer than three months, it is advisable to bring a copy of the prescription or a doctor’s note, as some countries require documentation for personal import of prescription‑only medicines.

• Does Megalis require refrigeration?
  No, Megalis should be stored at controlled room temperature (15–30 °C) away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat sources. Refrigeration is unnecessary and may affect tablet integrity.

• Are there differences between Megalis formulations sold in the EU and those exported from Asia?
  The active ingredient, tadalafil, is identical across regulated markets. However, excipient composition may vary slightly to meet regional pharmacopeial standards. All versions supplied by our pharmacy meet the MHRA quality criteria.

• Can Megalis affect drug testing for employment or sports?
  Tadalafil is not listed as a prohibited substance by major anti‑doping agencies. Routine employment drug screens typically test for substances of abuse and do not include PDE‑5 inhibitors.

• What is the mechanism behind the muscle aches reported with Megalis?
  Tadalafil inhibition of PDE‑5 also affects PDE‑11, an enzyme present in skeletal muscle. The resulting changes in cyclic GMP levels can lead to transient myalgia, most commonly 12–24 hours after dosing, and usually resolve without intervention.

• Is Megalis suitable for men with diabetes‑related erectile dysfunction?
  Yes, tadalafil has demonstrated efficacy in diabetic men with ED, with response rates comparable to non‑diabetic populations. Glycaemic control should still be optimised, and any concurrent antihypertensive therapy reviewed for interactions.

• How long can a patient remain on daily‑dose Megalis for BPH?
  Long‑term studies have shown that daily 5 mg tadalafil is safe for use up to several years, provided routine monitoring of blood pressure and liver function is performed as part of standard clinical care.

• What should a patient do if they experience a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours?
  This condition, called priapism, is a medical emergency. Immediate evaluation at an emergency department is required; treatment may involve aspiration, intracavernosal injection of sympathomimetics, or surgical intervention.
