What is Tadalafil used for?

tadalafil is primarily used for the following purposes:

1. Treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)

-it improves blood flow to the penis. By inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5), tadalafil allows more nitric oxide to accumulate in the cavernous tissue of the penis. This causes a relaxation of smooth muscles in the area and an increase in blood flow, which facilitates obtaining and maintaining an adequate erection during sexual stimulation.

2. Treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (HTAP)

-in HTAP, pulmonary blood vessels are narrowed, which increases pulmonary blood pressure. Tadalafil acts by relaxing the smooth muscles of the pulmonary vessels, which results in improved cardiac function and exercise capacity in patients with this disease.

It is important to note that tadalafil should be prescribed by a doctor and consideration should be given to possible interactions with other medicines and side effects, such as headache, dizziness, red vision or others.
