Product introduction
Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet is a medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It helps stimulate specific centres in the brain that trigger the natural erection process. It is important to know that this medicine works only when there is sexual stimulation and does not create an erection on its own.
You should take Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet exactly as instructed by your doctor. This medicine is designed for sublingual use, which means it must be placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve completely without swallowing it. Swallowing reduces its effectiveness because the medicine works best through absorption under the tongue.
Common effects include nausea, headache, and dizziness. They are usually mild and short-lived. If dizziness occurs, it helps to sit or lie down until it passes. You should avoid alcohol close to the time of taking the medicine because it can reduce sexual performance and increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness or low blood pressure.
Before starting Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet, let your doctor know about any medical conditions you have, especially your heart condition. You should avoid the medicine if you have conditions where sexual activity is unsafe, e.g., severe heart disease, recent heart attack, unstable angina, severe heart failure, or very low blood pressure. You should also not use this medicine if you are allergic to apomorphine or any of its ingredients.
Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet should not be used together with nitrate medicines or certain blood pressure medications because the combination may lead to significant drops in blood pressure. You should avoid combining this medicine with other ED treatments, as these combinations have not been studied and may increase risks.

Place the tablet under the tongue or between the cheek and gum, and let it dissolve. Do not chew, crush, or swallow the tablet. Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet may be taken with or without food.
How Apotab Sublingual tablet works
Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet works by stimulating specific dopamine receptors in the brain that naturally trigger the erection process. When these receptors are activated, they send signals that help release chemical messengers involved in sexual arousal. These signals then promote the local release of nitric oxide in the penis, which increases levels of cGMP and relaxes the smooth muscles in the penile tissue. This relaxation allows more blood to flow into the penis, helping produce an erection during sexual stimulation. This medicine does not cause an erection on its own; it only enhances the body’s natural response to arousal.

Patient concerns
FAQs
What exactly is Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet, and how does it help with erectile dysfunction?
Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet is a medicine that belongs to a class called dopamine agonists. It is used to help men who have difficulty achieving or maintaining a firm erection suitable for sexual intercourse. It works by activating dopamine receptors in the brain that are involved in sexual arousal and erection reflexes. These brain signals then help stimulate the natural cascade of events that increase blood flow into the penis during sexual stimulation, supporting the development of an erection.
How soon does Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet work, and how should I take it?
Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet dissolves under the tongue and is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Most men will notice the effects within 18–20 minutes after placing it sublingually, although this can vary from person to person. You should place the medicine under the tongue and allow it to dissolve completely without chewing or swallowing it whole. Sexual stimulation is necessary for the medication to work effectively.
Can I take Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet with food and alcohol?
Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet works best when taken as directed under the tongue and does not have significant interaction with food, because it bypasses the digestive tract. However, alcohol should be avoided around the time of dosing. Alcohol can interfere with erection quality on its own and may worsen side effects like dizziness or low blood pressure, making the medicine less effective.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet is usually taken as needed rather than on a fixed schedule. If you forget to take a dose before spontaneous sexual activity, simply take the it the next time you plan to be sexually active, following the instructions again.
Are there any serious risks or situations where I should not use Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet?
You should not use Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet if you have medical conditions where sexual activity is unsafe, such as unstable heart disease, a recent heart attack, or very low blood pressure. It is also important to avoid combining it with certain medications that can interact and cause dangerous drops in blood pressure. Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and medical conditions before taking this medicine. Also, if you ever experience a painful erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), seek urgent medical attention.
Can Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet be used long-term or more than once in a day?
Apotab 2 Sublingual tablet is typically used on an as-needed basis before anticipated sexual activity. Your doctor will advise how many doses are safe for you in a given period. Generally, you should not take more than the recommended dose within an 8-hour window. Long-term use and dosing frequency should be guided by medical supervision to balance effectiveness with side effect risk.
