Tadalafil

DRUGS FOR ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Uses of Tadalafil

Tadalafil is used in the treatment of men with erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Side effects of Tadalafil

  • Headache
  • Indigestion
  • Back pain
  • Muscle aches
  • Flushes
  • Stuffy and runny nose 

How Tadalafil works

  • Tadalafil exerts action through the smooth muscle relaxation in the penis and allows the erection due to the filling up of the blood in the corpus cavernosum. This helps in erectile dysfunction. 
  • In cases of benign prostate hyperplasia, it reduces smooth muscle proliferation, which may reduce the size of the prostate and relieve the obstruction that causes the urinary symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia.
