Product Description

Tadalafil Tablets 20 mg belong to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. They are primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in adult men and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adults. Additionally, Tadalafil may be prescribed for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a form of high blood pressure affecting the lungs.

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating and frequent or urgent urination.

Tadalafil works by relaxing blood vessels in the penis, bladder, prostate, and lungs. This increases blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, relaxes muscles in the bladder and prostate to relieve BPH symptoms, and dilates pulmonary blood vessels to reduce the heart’s workload in PAH.

Uses

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in adult men

• Management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adults

• Treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adults

How it works

Tadalafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5), leading to relaxation of smooth muscle in blood vessels. This causes dilation of blood vessels in the penis, bladder, prostate, and lungs. Increased blood flow to the penis helps achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation. Relaxation of muscles in the bladder and prostate eases urinary symptoms of BPH. Dilation of pulmonary vessels improves blood flow to the lungs and reduces the heart’s workload in PAH.
