Tadalafil 20 mg (Cialis) for ED Treatment

Tadalafil 20 mg is used primarily for the following purposes:

1. Treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)

Mechanism for action:

-Tadalafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5). This enzyme is responsible for degrading nitrogen monoxide (no)-cyclic monophosphate dependent guanosin (cGMP) in the smooth vascular muscle of the penis. By inhibiting PDE-5, tadalafil allows cGMP levels to remain elevated, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation in the blood vessels of the penis, facilitating blood flow and obtaining and maintaining an erection.

Effectiveness:

-help men with DE have enough erections for intercourse. The 20 mg dose is one of the available options, and the choice of dose may depend on the severity of the patient's condition and individual tolerance.

2. Treatment of benign prostate hypertrophy (HBP) and associated symptoms of the lower urinary tract (VUIL)

Mechanism for action:

-it also works on the muscles of the urinary tract. By relaxing the muscles of prostate tissue and smooth bladder and urethra muscle, it can improve urinary flow and relieve symptoms such as difficulty urinating, interrupted urination, a frequent need to urinate, especially at night.

Effectiveness:

-in men with HBP and VUIL, tadalafil 20 mg may contribute to improving the quality of life by reducing the annoying urinary symptoms associated with this condition.

It is important to note that tadalafil should be prescribed by a doctor and its use should be adequately monitored, as it may have interactions with other medicines and may not be suitable for all patients, for example those with certain serious heart problems or who are taking certain nitrate medicines.
