I just received my 5 gram order of Tadalafil from elitenetpharmacy(.)com. I live in the United States and it took about a week to arrive. It was listed as documents on the customs forms and the baggy inside had a label of L-glutamate. It was so flat that you could not tell what was inside. It cost $70 plus about $5 in shipping ( don’t remember the shipping exactly) . Not bad for 1000 doses at 5mg per dose.
Now I have to measure it out and I would like some feedback on my method. I don’t want to buy a drug scale for 1 event in my life.
I am looking for approximately 5mg doses and a simple way to dose.
I first checked the amount that arrived, I have read some Internet pharmacies give you more than you asked for. So I took a pencil, cut it to a known length, 5” and measured the midpoint. Then I filled a plastic baggy, similar to the one holding the tadalafil, with 5ml of water (=5g) and stuck both baggies to the ends of the pencil with needles. Then I put the midpoint of the pencil on a needle stuck in a cork (in a bottle of wine) to see which side was heavier. I actually pulled the pencil off and then put it on again to make sure it wasn’t stuck and was able to move freely. The weight was about the same. So I have about 5g of Tadalafil.
Then I picked up a drop measuring spoon from the Container Store.

Which is 1/64th of a teaspoon. I emailed the manufacturer and received confirmation. I also measured corn starch into a teaspoon and it took about 68 drops to fill it. Close enough.
I measured the tadalafil into an old supplement bottle and had approximately 3 teaspoons. I am using corn starch as my filler. It has the same visual appearance and texture as the tadalafil and close to the same weight (3 teaspoons = 8 grams according to the package I think at my measuring method, fluffy powder leveled off, it is about the same as the tadalafil)
So my calculation is:
5 grams of tadalafil equals 5000 milligrams or 1000 5 mg doses.
A drop measuring spoon equals 1/64th of a teaspoon
1000 divided by 64 equals 15.625 teaspoons
3 teaspoons tadalafil plus 12.625 teaspoons starch equals 15.625 teaspoons.
So I put 12 and 2/3’s teaspoons of corn starch in the bottle with 3 teaspoons tadalafil and shake well (about 10 minutes, shake, roll, etc). I will shake well every time I dose so I expect I will get approximately 5mg per dose. I will start with a full drop (1/64 teaspoon) and adjust my dose from there. Even if the dose is more concentrated I don’t think it will go above 20mg (The standard dosages of Cialis come in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg doses). I will adjust the dose based on my results.
As a safety check RXList.com says tadalafil has been tested up to 500mg in a single dose to a healthy person with side effects being the same as at lower doses. Also, they tested multiple 100mg dose in one day with a healthy individual with no adverse affect. Even if my whole dose (1/64 of a teaspoon) was tadalafil it would be 26mg of tadalafil.(That’s at my well shaken fluffy powder leveled off measurement) So I think I’m safe from overdosing, my greatest concern.
What do you guys think?
