Table of Contents

Intimate 10 is a prescription medication containing Tadalafil, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It is widely used to treat male physical health conditions by improving blood flow to specific areas of the body. In Bangladesh, it is manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC.

What is Intimate 10 Used For?

Intimate 10 is primarily prescribed for:

  • Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Helping men achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated.

  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Treating the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, such as difficulty starting urination or the need to urinate frequently.

  • Combined ED and BPH: Addressing both conditions simultaneously.

  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Occasionally used to improve exercise capacity by relaxing blood vessels in the lungs.

Clinical evidence shows that Tadalafil has a significantly longer half-life than similar medications, remaining effective for up to 36 hours. For detailed pharmacological data, see this study on the efficacy of Tadalafil.

Dosage

The dosage for Intimate 10 is tailored to the patient’s specific needs and response.

  • For Erectile Dysfunction (As Needed): The typical starting dose is one 10 mg tablet taken at least 30–60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.

  • Frequency: Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.

  • Duration: Tadalafil is known as the “weekend pill” because its effects can last for up to 36 hours.

  • For BPH (Daily Use): If used for prostate symptoms, a lower dose (usually 5 mg) is taken daily at the same time.

Important: This medication requires sexual stimulation to work; it is not an aphrodisiac and will not cause an erection without arousal.

Common Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and diminish as the medication leaves the system:

  • Headache

  • Dyspepsia (indigestion or upset stomach)

  • Back pain or muscle aches

  • Nasal congestion (stuffy nose)

  • Flushing (redness/warmth in the face)

Safety Warning: In rare cases, Tadalafil can cause priapism (an erection lasting longer than 4 hours). This is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to prevent permanent tissue damage. For more on side effects, refer to this comprehensive Tadalafil safety profile.

Important Warnings & Precautions

  • Nitrate Interaction: Never take Intimate 10 if you use nitrate drugs for chest pain (e.g., Nitroglycerin, Isosorbide). Combining them can cause a sudden, life-threatening drop in blood pressure.

  • Heart Health: Consult a doctor if you have a history of heart attack (within 90 days), stroke (within 6 months), or severe heart failure.

  • Vision/Hearing: Stop use immediately if you experience sudden vision loss in one or both eyes or a sudden decrease in hearing.

  • Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it can increase the risk of dizziness, headache, and a fast heart rate.

  • Kidney/Liver: Dose adjustments may be necessary for patients with significant kidney or liver impairment.

Price in Bangladesh (January 2026 Approximate)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Intimate 10

While Intimate 10 is often taken “as needed,” some patients are prescribed a lower 5 mg daily dose for BPH or chronic ED. You should only take it daily if specifically instructed by your doctor.

Q: Can women take Intimate 10?

No. This brand and dosage are specifically indicated for men.

Q: Does it work instantly?

No. It usually takes 30 to 60 minutes to become effective. High-fat meals do not typically delay its absorption as much as they do with Sildenafil (Vigorex).

Yes. Popular alternatives include Tadalis (Incepta), Nirvana (Healthcare), Edysta (UniMed UniHealth), and Feel (Delta).

Q: What if the 10 mg dose is not enough?

Do not increase the dose yourself. Consult your doctor; they may increase the dose to 20 mg if the 10 mg version is well-tolerated but insufficient.
