Sildenafil (Viagra®) sold as Tadalafil (Cialis®)
Risk assessment
This tablet, declared as tadalafil , did not contain tadalafil but the active ingredient sildenafil.
Both substances are used as medicines to treat erectile dysfunction in men. The best-known preparation containing sildenfail is Viagra®.
Compared to tadalafil, sildenafil has a much shorter duration of action (24 - 36h vs. 4h). In addition, sildenafil should not be mixed with alcohol or blood pressure-lowering substances. Especially the combination with poppers or other nitrites (often present in medicines against angina pectoris, e.g. glycerine) can be life-threatening, as severe blood pressure reductions can occur!
False declarations also occur time and again with supposedly original preparations obtained on the black market. Therefore, always have these substances tested if possible.

Analysis
Have your substances tested in a drug check.
Testing
If you do not have the possibility to have substances analyzed, first test a maximum of one third of the pill, since very many high-dose pills are in circulation.
Wait and see
Wait 2 hours after taking the medication, as there are always pills with unexpected active ingredients in circulation, which can have a later onset of action.
Drinking
Remember: drink non-alcoholic and isotonic drinks (3 dl / hour) and take breaks in the fresh air from time to time to prevent overheating / dehydration.
