Indications

  • Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
  • Both Erectile Dysfunction and signs and symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Pharmacology

Tadalafil is a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. Inhibition of PDE5 increases cGMP in smooth muscle cells, causing smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow into the corpus cavernosum, leading to penile erection. It also relaxes smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving blood flow to the urinary tract and widening the opening of the bladder neck, resulting in improved voiding.
