TADALAFIL (ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION) - ORAL
PHONETIC PRONUNCIATION: (tah-DA-la-fil)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Cialis
GENERIC NAME(S): tadalafil
Uses
USES: Tadalafil is used to treat male sexual function problems (impotence or erectile dysfunction-ED). In combination with sexual stimulation, tadalafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help a man get and keep an erection. Tadalafil is also used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tadalafil is thought to work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder. This drug does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis). Practice "safe sex" such as using latex condoms. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
How to use TADALAFIL (ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION) - ORAL
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking tadalafil and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take this medication by mouth, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Do not take tadalafil more often than once daily. The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). To treat the symptoms of BPH, take this medication as directed by your doctor, usually once a day. If you are also taking finasteride with this medication to treat symptoms of BPH, talk with your doctor about how long you should continue taking this medication. To treat erectile dysfunction-ED, there are 2 ways that tadalafil may be prescribed. Your doctor will determine which is the best way for you to take tadalafil. Follow your doctor's directions exactly since your dosage depends on how you are taking it. The first way is to take it as needed, usually at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Tadalafil's effect on sexual ability may last up to 36 hours. The second way to treat ED is to take tadalafil regularly, once a day every day. If you take it this way, you may attempt sexual activity at any time between your doses. If you are taking tadalafil to treat both ED and BPH, take it as directed by your doctor, usually once a day. You may attempt sexual activity at any time between your doses. If you are taking tadalafil once daily for BPH, or for ED, or for both, take it regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

Faq for TADALAFIL (ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION) - ORAL
Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It helps to increase blood flow to the penis, allowing for a firm and long-lasting erection.
You should take Tadalafil orally as instructed by your doctor. Typically, it is taken with or without food, about 30 minutes before sexual activity. Avoid taking more than one dose per day.
The effects of Tadalafil can last up to 36 hours, earning it the nickname "the weekend pill." However, the duration may vary for each individual.
Tadalafil is generally safe for most men, but it is important to consult with your doctor before taking it, especially if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other medications. Certain individuals with heart problems or low blood pressure should avoid Tadalafil.
Common side effects of Tadalafil include headache, dizziness, flushing, upset stomach, back pain, muscle aches, and stuffy or runny nose. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.
Drinking alcohol in moderate amounts while taking Tadalafil is generally safe. However, excessive alcohol consumption may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness or low blood pressure.
Tadalafil is not intended for use by women. It is specifically designed for men to treat erectile dysfunction.
Tadalafil is not a permanent cure for erectile dysfunction. It helps to temporarily overcome the issue by improving blood flow to the penis. The underlying cause of erectile dysfunction should be addressed for long-term solutions.
Priapism, a painful and prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours, is a rare but potentially serious side effect of Tadalafil. If this occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
