Tadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.

Commander Stamina Time tablets have not been assessed by the TGA for quality, safety or efficacy as required under Australian legislation, and the place of manufacture is not approved by the TGA.
Consumers are advised to stop using Commander Stamina Time tablets and take any remaining tablets to their local pharmacy for safe disposal. If they have any concerns arising from their use of this product, consult their health care practitioner.
