Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that tadalafil is known for causing headaches and it is one of the most common side effects of this drug . Although headache often resolves even without treatment . Paracetamol can be taken every eight hours to prevent headache recurrence if there is no associated contraindication , if it is still not controlled you can consult your prescribing doctor for reducing the dose of this drug or considering an alternative for the same .

Also keep yourself hydrated all the time . Also you can have caffeinated drinks like coffee which are also helpful for some people .

Take care.

thanks for your expert comments. Can you suggest any other medicine which contains tadalafil with least of side effects. My doctor has suggested me to take Tazzle 10 instead of Tazzle 20 but if you have any other option then please let me know.

Dear sir,

Your doctor has reduced the dose of tadlafil which was the right thing to do . I think we should wait for the response .

Other medicines can be sildenafil but the side effects are same , it just depends which medicine will suit you .
