Tadalafil is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It is a type of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that works by increasing blood flow to specific areas of the body, particularly the penis, to help men achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused. For BPH, it helps relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urinary symptoms.
Tadalafil is sold under the brand name Cialis for ED and BPH, and Adcirca for PAH. It is typically taken as a daily low-dose tablet or as a higher dose before sexual activity. It works for up to 36 hours, earning it the nickname "the weekend pill" because of its long duration of action.
Common side effects can include headaches, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, and nasal congestion. Its important not to take tadalafil with nitrates (used for chest pain) or certain other medications due to the risk of a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Always follow a healthcare providers instructions when using tadalafil to ensure safety and effectiveness.
