Pharmacological category:
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors
Mechanism of medicine action:
Tadalafil, a medication commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction, operates by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This inhibition results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscles within the blood vessels of the penis. As a consequence, there is improved blood flow to the penis, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection. Tadalafil’s mechanism of action provides a reliable solution for individuals seeking to address erectile concerns and regain a fulfilling sex life.
Side effects:
Common side effects of Tadalafil may include headache, indigestion, muscle aches, and back pain. Less frequently, individuals may experience facial flushing, nasal congestion, dizziness, or vision changes. While these side effects are generally mild and temporary, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional if they persist or worsen. In rare instances, severe allergic reactions or prolonged erections may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.
Dosage:
Take 5-10 mg orally once a day, as needed, 15-60 minutes before sexual activity. Max dosage per day is 20 mg.
