How to take your treatment and what to expect

Once your Mavrox treatment arrives, knowing exactly how and when to take it makes a real difference in how well it works. Here's a simple guide for both Performax and Tadalafix, plus what you can expect along the way.


If you're taking Performax

Performax is an as-needed sublingual tablet, meaning you take it only when you plan on being sexually active — not on a daily schedule.

How to take it:

  • Place 1 tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve. Do not swallow it whole.

  • Take it 30–60 minutes before sexual activity.

  • It can be taken with or without food.

  • Don't take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.

What to expect: Because it's absorbed sublingually rather than swallowed, many men notice effects faster than with a standard pill — often within 15 to 30 minutes. Some report mild side effects like headache, flushing, dizziness, nausea, or nasal congestion. These are usually temporary. If an erection lasts longer than 4 hours, seek medical attention right away.


If you're taking Tadalafix

Tadalafix is a daily tablet designed to keep a steady level of medication in your system, so you're not planning doses around sexual activity.

How to take it:

  • Take one 5mg tablet by mouth, once a day, at the same time each day.

  • It can be taken with or without food.

  • Don't take more than one tablet per day.

What to expect: Because Tadalafix works by maintaining consistent levels in your body, results can build gradually. Some men notice a difference within a few days, while for others it may take a few weeks of consistent daily use to see the full effect. Common side effects can include headache, flushing, upset stomach, back pain, or nasal congestion. As with Performax, seek medical attention if an erection lasts longer than 4 hours.


Important notes:

  • Consistency matters. Whether it's daily dosing or timing a dose before activity, taking it as directed gives you the best chance of seeing results.

  • Alcohol in moderation is generally fine, but drinking heavily can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness or low blood pressure, and may reduce effectiveness.

  • Tell your provider about other medications you're taking, especially nitrates, alpha-blockers, or blood pressure medications — these can interact.

  • Individual results vary. Some people notice a difference quickly; for others, it takes a bit of time or adjustment. Your provider is there to help fine-tune your treatment if needed.
