FORZEST

INDICATIONS

Forzest (Tadalafil) is an effective treatment for men’s erectile dysfunction.

INSTRUCTIONS

Forzest tablets must be taken orally. Take Forzest about one hour before you plan to have sex. Beginning in about 30 minutes and lasts for up to 36 hours, Forzest can help you get an erection if you are sexually excited.
