Vidalista 80, which contains tadalafil, is primarily taken before planned sexual activity to help achieve and maintain an erection. Ideally, it should be taken about 30 minutes to 1 hour before intercourse. Taking Vidalista 80 mg after sexual activity is generally not effective because the medication needs time to work in the body by increasing blood flow to the penis in response to sexual stimulation. If you take Vidalista 80 too late—meaning after the sexual activity is over—it won’t provide any benefit for that encounter since its mechanism relies on pre-stimulation. Additionally, taking it after sex does not enhance recovery or subsequent performance immediately. Therefore, it is considered “too late” once sexual activity has already occurred, as the drug’s action is preventive and preparatory, not restorative post-activity.
