How should I use the Dual-action chew troche?
Short answer
Use Dual-action chew exactly as your prescribing physician and pharmacy label direct. Although the product is called a chewable troche, its listed directions say to dissolve one troche 30 minutes before activity. Do not assume you should chew or swallow it whole. Ask the pharmacy if the instructions are unclear.
Follow the directions on your pharmacy label and any instructions from your prescribing physician. The listed directions for Dual-action chew are to dissolve one troche 30 minutes before sexual activity, with no more than one per day. Because the product is described as a chewable troche but the directions say to dissolve it, ask the pharmacy to confirm the method if needed. Do not guess about chewing, swallowing whole, or where to place it in your mouth.
Do not split the troche or change how you use it unless your physician or pharmacist confirms that you should. Ask whether food or drinks affect the instructions for your specific preparation. Avoid heavy drinking, which can increase dizziness and low blood pressure with these medicines.
Sildenafil and tadalafil support the blood-flow response involved in an erection. Sexual stimulation is still needed; taking the medicine does not automatically cause an erection. Results vary. If the effect is not what you expected, contact your physician rather than taking another dose or adding another erection medicine.
