How should I take EnduraPulse PeakRise DuoVive?
Place the lozenge under your tongue and let it dissolve. Take at least 15 minutes before sexual activity.
Do not chew the medication. Once partially dissolved, you may split it for faster melting.
Requires sexual arousal to work. Avoid eating/drinking while the lozenge dissolves.
Do not take more than once daily or within 24 hours of other ED medications (tadalafil/sildenafil).
Test the medication privately first to understand its effects.
1. Dual-Action Formula for Enhanced Efficacy
Sildenafil (55 mg): Rapid-onset PDE5 inhibitor designed to improve blood flow to the penile tissue, supporting erectile function within 15–30 minutes.
Tadalafil (22 mg): Long-acting PDE5 inhibitor providing sustained effects for up to 36 hours, allowing greater spontaneity in intimate moments.
2. Relief for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Tadalafil’s FDA-Approved Benefit: The tadalafil component is clinically proven to alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with BPH, including:
Reduced urinary frequency and urgency.
Improved bladder emptying and decreased nighttime awakenings.
Mechanism: Relaxation of smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder.
3. Synergistic Cardiovascular Support
Both components may improve endothelial function, potentially benefiting men with mild hypertension or metabolic syndrome (consult a physician for cardiovascular risk assessment).
4. Flexible Dosing for Individual Needs
Sublingual lozenge format allows faster absorption than traditional oral tablets.
Combines short-acting and long-acting agents for tailored response timing.
5. Improved Quality of Life
Addresses both ED and BPH symptoms in a single medication, reducing the need for multiple prescriptions.
May enhance confidence, intimacy, and overall well-being.
