What Is Tadalfil and What Is It Used For?

Tadalafil is a prescription only treatment for adult men over 18 years of age with erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence. Erectile Dysfunction is a condition when a man cannot get, or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Tadalafil contains the active substance Tadalafil, which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Following sexual stimulation, Tadalafil works by helping the blood vessels in your penis to relax, allowing the flow of blood into your penis.

1. What TADALAFIL is and what it is used for

TADALAFIL is a treatment for adult men with erectile dysfunction. This is when a man cannot get, or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity. TADALAFIL has been shown to significantly improve the ability of obtaining a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity.

TADALAFIL contains the active substance tadalafil which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Following sexual stimulation TADALAFIL works by helping the blood vessels in your penis to relax, allowing the flow of blood into your penis. The result of this is improved erectile function. TADALAFIL will not help you if you do not have erectile dysfunction.

It is important to note that TADALAFIL does not work if there is no sexual stimulation. You and your partner will need to engage in foreplay, just as you would if you were not taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction.

2. What you need to know before you take TADALAFIL

Do not take TADALAFIL if you:

  • are allergic to tadalafil or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
