Tadalafil Uses

Tadalafil is commonly used to treat conditions that affect blood flow and muscle relaxation.

Erectile dysfunction (ED)

How Tadalafil Works

Tadalafil works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This action helps to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow in specific areas of the body.

For erectile dysfunction, this results in improved blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection when sexually stimulated.

In cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, it helps relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder, easing urinary symptoms.
