Product Introduction

Tadaflo 5mg Tablet contains Tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping achieve and maintain an erection, while also relaxing the muscles of the prostate and bladder to improve urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. This medicine is not recommended for women or individuals under 18 years of age.

Do not take Tadaflo 5mg Tablet if you are using nitrate-containing medications for chest pain or heart disease, as the combination may cause a serious drop in blood pressure. It is also unsuitable for individuals with recent heart attack, unstable angina, severe heart failure, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a stroke within the last six months. Avoid consuming alcohol and grapefruit juice during treatment, as they may increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor if you have heart disease, high or low blood pressure, vision problems, sickle cell anemia, liver or kidney disease, or a history of cardiovascular events. If you have lactose intolerance, consult your healthcare provider before taking this medicine, as it contains lactose.

Uses

Erectile dysfunction Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH)

How it works

Tadaflo 5mg tablet is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor; it increases blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, facilitating the ability to achieve and maintain an erection. This improves sexual function, enhances sexual satisfaction, and increases confidence. Additionally, this medication relaxes the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving urine flow and decreasing urinary symptoms associated with BPH. Reducing urinary frequency, urgency, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying improves the quality of life for individuals with BPH.
