Malegra Dxt

Introduction

Malegra Dxt is a fixed‑dose combination medication that contains two well‑established active compounds: tadalafil and duloxetine. It is marketed for men’s health, principally to manage erectile dysfunction (ED) while simultaneously addressing co‑existing mood‑related symptoms such as depression or anxiety. The product is classified within the erectile dysfunction and broader men's health therapeutic groups. In the United Kingdom, the combination is positioned as a convenient option for patients whose sexual function is affected by both vascular and psychological factors, offering a dual mechanism of action in a single tablet.

What is Malegra Dxt?

Malegra Dxt is a tablet that delivers a precise quantity of tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase‑5 (PDE5) inhibitor, together with duloxetine, a serotonin‑norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). The formulation is intended for oral administration once daily. The tablet is produced by an internationally recognised pharmaceutical manufacturer that complies with European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (EU‑GMP) standards.

Generic reference – While the brand name is Malegra Dxt, the active ingredients correspond to those found in the well‑known brands Cialis® (tadalafil) and Cymbalta® (duloxetine). Our online pharmacy supplies this generic alternative at a cost comparable to the active pharmaceutical ingredients, providing a clinically equivalent treatment without the premium pricing of proprietary brands.

How Malegra Dxt Works

Tadalafil component – Tadalafil selectively inhibits the PDE5 enzyme localized in the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum. By preventing the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), it prolongs vasodilation induced by nitric oxide released during sexual stimulation. The result is improved blood flow to penile tissue, facilitating erection. The pharmacokinetic profile of tadalafil includes an onset of action within 30 minutes and a half‑life of approximately 17 hours, allowing a therapeutic window that can extend to 36 hours after dosing.

Duloxetine component – Duloxetine increases synaptic concentrations of serotonin and norepinephrine by blocking their re‑uptake in central nervous system pathways. This modulation elevates mood, reduces anxiety, and mitigates neuropathic pain. In the context of sexual health, duloxetine can improve libido and reduce performance anxiety, thereby complementing the peripheral vasodilatory effect of tadalafil. Duloxetine reaches steady‑state concentrations after 3 days of once‑daily dosing, with a half‑life of about 12 hours.

The combined effect of these two mechanisms addresses both the physiological and psychological contributors to erectile dysfunction, offering a more comprehensive therapeutic outcome than either agent alone.

Conditions Treated with Malegra Dxt

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – Primary indication. In the UK, an estimated 20 % of men aged 40–70 experience clinically significant ED, often associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or lifestyle factors.
• Depressive or Anxiety Disorders co‑occurring with ED – Duloxetine is approved for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. When these conditions impair sexual function, the combination provides dual benefit.
• Premature Ejaculatory Disorder (PE) with underlying mood components – While not a primary indication, duloxetine has demonstrated efficacy in extending intravaginal latency time, offering ancillary benefit for men with PE linked to anxiety.

The medication is not indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or any condition unrelated to erectile function or mood disorders.

Who is Malegra Dxt For?

• Men diagnosed with erectile dysfunction who have a documented physiological component (e.g., vascular insufficiency) and require a long‑acting PDE5 inhibitor.
• Individuals with co‑existing depression, anxiety, or neuropathic pain whose symptoms directly affect sexual performance. The duloxetine component targets these central factors.
• Patients who prefer a single‑tablet regimen to reduce pill burden and improve adherence.
• Men who can safely tolerate both tadalafil and duloxetine, i.e., those without contraindications listed below.

Contraindications / Situations where Malegra Dxt may not be appropriate

• Use of nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin) or nitric‑oxide donors, due to risk of profound hypotension.
• Uncontrolled hypertension (>180/110 mmHg) or severe cardiovascular disease where sexual activity is contraindicated.
• History of non‑arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
• Severe hepatic impairment (Child‑Pugh C) or end‑stage renal disease (eGFR < 15 mL/min).
• Known hypersensitivity to either tadalafil, duloxetine, or any excipients in the tablet.

A thorough clinical assessment is essential before initiating therapy.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Headache
• Flushing
• Nasal congestion
• Dyspepsia (indigestion)
• Back pain or muscle aches (typically transient)
• Nausea
• Mild dizziness

These events are usually mild to moderate in intensity and often resolve without intervention.

Rare

• Visual disturbances (e.g., blurred vision, color perception changes)
• Auditory loss or ringing in ears (tinnitus)
• Elevated liver enzymes
• Hyponatraemia (low blood sodium)

Patients experiencing any of these symptoms should contact a healthcare professional promptly.

Serious

• Prolonged or painful erections lasting > 4 hours (priapism) – requires emergency medical care.
• Severe hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure) – may present as fainting, shock, or rapid heartbeat.
• Cardiac arrhythmias or myocardial infarction in high‑risk individuals.
• Serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic agents (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tramadol, linezolid).

Immediate medical attention is required for any serious adverse event.

Clinically Relevant Drug–Drug Interactions

• Nitrates (e.g., isosorbide dinitrate, nitroglycerin) – potentiate hypotensive effect of tadalafil.
• Alpha‑blockers (e.g., tamsulosin, doxazosin) – additive blood pressure reduction; dose titration recommended.
• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, ketoconazole, ritonavir) – increase tadalafil plasma levels, raising risk of adverse events.
• CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine, quinidine) – may elevate duloxetine concentrations.
• Other serotonergic drugs (e.g., SSRIs, MAO inhibitors, tramadol) – increase risk of serotonin syndrome.
• Anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents – while not a direct interaction, concurrent use may obscure bleeding risk if priapism leads to trauma.

Patients should provide a full medication list, including over‑the‑counter products and herbal supplements, before starting Malegra Dxt.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard dosing – One tablet containing 10 mg tadalafil and 60 mg duloxetine taken orally once daily, preferably at the same time each day. The tablet may be swallowed with water, with or without food.
• Dose adjustments – For patients over 65 years, with moderate hepatic impairment (Child‑Pugh B), or taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, the tadalafil dose may be reduced to 5 mg while maintaining duloxetine at 60 mg.
• Missed dose – If a dose is forgotten, take it as soon as remembered provided at least 12 hours have not elapsed since the previous dose. Do not double‑dose to compensate for a missed tablet.
• Overdose – Signs may include severe hypotension, prolonged erection, intense headache, or nausea. Immediate medical evaluation is advised. In cases of suspected overdose, contact the UK National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) at 111.

Precautions – Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it may exacerbate hypotensive effects and impair sexual performance. Grapefruit juice can increase tadalafil exposure and should be limited. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes should ensure optimal glycaemic control, as hyperglycaemia can diminish drug efficacy.

  Formulation excipients may vary slightly to meet regional regulatory requirements, but the dosage of tadalafil and duloxetine remains consistent across markets authorized by the MHRA.

• What should a patient do if they experience a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours?
  Seek emergency medical care immediately, as priapism can cause permanent tissue damage. Prompt treatment reduces the risk of long‑term complications.

• Can duloxetine in Malegra Dxt affect laboratory drug‑testing results?
  Duloxetine may appear on comprehensive toxicology screens, but it is not a prohibited substance in standard workplace or sports drug tests. Patients should disclose its use if testing is anticipated.

• How does alcohol interact with Malegra Dxt?
  Moderate alcohol intake may modestly increase the risk of hypotension and reduce erectile response. Excessive consumption (more than four units) can compound these effects and should be avoided.

• Is there a risk of developing tolerance to tadalafil when using Malegra Dxt daily?
  Tadalafil exhibits a low propensity for tolerance development. Continuous daily dosing maintains stable plasma concentrations, preserving efficacy over time.

• What are the inactive ingredients in Malegra Dxt tablets?
  The tablet contains microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and colloidal silicon dioxide as binders and fillers; these are listed on the product’s packaging insert.

• Can patients with mild hepatic impairment still use Malegra Dxt?
  In mild hepatic impairment (Child‑Pugh A), standard dosing may be used with clinical monitoring. Dose reduction is advised for moderate impairment (Child‑Pugh B).

• Does the combination of tadalafil and duloxetine increase the likelihood of sexual side effects such as decreased libido?
  Duloxetine can cause transient sexual dysfunction in a minority of patients, but the concurrent PDE5 inhibition usually offsets this effect. Ongoing assessment is recommended to balance benefits and adverse effects.
