TADARREL 5 10

About

TADARREL 5 contains Tadalafil, a potent and selective phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, primarily indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and the management of the signs and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In the context of ED, Tadalafil works by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical released during sexual stimulation, which leads to the relaxation of smooth muscles in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, thereby increasing blood flow and facilitating an erection. For BPH, it relaxes the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder, significantly improving urinary flow and reducing bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms. Its distinct pharmacokinetic profile, characterized by a prolonged half-life, allows for a significantly longer duration of action compared to other PDE5 inhibitors, often extending up to 36 hours. The 5mg dose is frequently prescribed for daily use, providing continuous therapeutic effects for both ED and BPH, allowing for greater spontaneity and sustained symptom relief.

Uses

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).
• Management of signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
• Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (though 5mg is typically for ED/BPH).
