How long does Dual-action chew take to work?
Short answer
The listed directions for Dual-action chew are to dissolve one troche 30 minutes before activity, but this does not guarantee an effect by that time. Results vary. Follow your prescribing physician and pharmacy label. Sexual stimulation is needed, and you should not take an extra dose if the effect seems delayed.
The product's typical directions say to dissolve one troche 30 minutes before sexual activity. That is a timing instruction, not a promise that it will work within 30 minutes. Results vary. Follow your prescribing physician and pharmacy label if they give different directions.
Sildenafil and tadalafil help support blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. They do not automatically cause an erection or increase sexual desire. Results vary. Timing and response can depend on your health, other medicines, and the specific compounded preparation. The timing reported for other sildenafil or tadalafil products does not establish an exact onset or duration for this combined troche.
Do not take an extra troche because you do not notice an effect right away. The listed maximum is one per day, and your physician may give additional limits. If treatment does not meet your needs, discuss how you used it and any side effects with your physician. An erection lasting more than four hours needs emergency care, not watchful waiting.
