Tadalafil is a prescription drug. It comes in oral tablet form.

 

Tadalafil oral tablets are available as brand-name drugs Cialis and Adcirca. It is also available in generic form. Generics often cost less than branded drugs. In some cases, they may not be available in all the advantages or forms of branded drugs.

 

Why use it

Tadalafil (Cialis) is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or erectile dysfunction (ED), or both. Tadalafil (Adcirca) is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

 

With BPH, the prostate becomes enlarged but not cancerous. It squeezes or squeezes your urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body from your kidneys). Symptoms of BPH include difficulty urinating, painful urination and a frequent or urgent need to urinate.

 

With ED, when a man is sexually aroused, the penis doesn't fill with enough blood to harden and expand. ED can also prevent men from maintaining erections.

 

PAH is a rare but serious form of high blood pressure. It happens in the pulmonary artery, which is the blood vessel in your lungs.

 

How to use Tadalafil

How long should you take tadalafil before sex? Tadalafil can be prescribed in two different ways, as a daily dose or as needed. Your doctor will prescribe any of these. If you take tadalafil as needed, take it at least 30 minutes before intercourse. If you take it every day, try to take it at about the same time every day.

 

How often should you take tadalafil? Tadafil should not be taken more than once within 24 hours. If you miss your dose during this period, please take the missed dose as soon as possible. However, do not double the dose. If you have missed a dose and you have reached the time for the next one, please skip the missed dose.

 

Should tadalafil be taken with food? Tadalafil can be taken with or without food and is not affected by the type of food you take.

 

How does this work?

Tadalafil belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. A class I drug is a group of drugs that act in a similar way. These drugs are often used to treat similar conditions.

 

Tadalafil may help relax the muscles of the prostate and bladder. This may help to improve your BPH symptoms.

 

To improve ED symptoms, tadalafil helps increase blood flow to the penis. This can help you gain and maintain an erection. In order for tadalafil to help you get an erection, you need sexual arousal.

 

For PAH, tadalafil improves your exercise capacity by relaxing blood vessels in the lungs. This increases blood flow.
