TADAFLO 5

TADAFLO 5 is a medication containing 5 mg of Tadalafil, which is a low dosage intended for daily (course) intake. Unlike high "on-demand" doses (20 mg), TADAFLO 5 is used to maintain a constant, stable concentration of Tadalafil in the blood. This ensures continuous readiness for an erection without the need to plan pill intake, bringing spontaneity back to sexual life.

What is TADAFLO 5 and its indication?

TADAFLO 5 is a generic containing 5 mg of Tadalafil. This dosage is used for two main purposes:

1. ED Treatment (Daily Use): For men who are sexually active (two or more times a week) and want to completely eliminate the psychological discomfort associated with needing to take a pill before each act.

2. BPH Treatment: Tadalafil 5 mg is also approved for treating the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, or "enlarged prostate").

1. Advantages of TADAFLO 5 mg

• Spontaneity: With daily intake, a man is ready for an erection at any moment, provided there is stimulation.

• Mild Effect: The low 5 mg dose minimizes the risk and severity of side effects (headache, back pain) sometimes seen with the 20 mg dose.

• Dual Action: It can simultaneously treat both ED and the symptoms of BPH (difficulty urinating).

Detailed mechanism of action of TADAFLO 5

The mechanism of action of TADAFLO 5 is based on Tadalafil being a selective inhibitor of the PDE5 enzyme.

1. Trigger: Sexual arousal causes the release of nitric oxide (NO).

2. Erectile Cycle: NO stimulates the formation of cyclic GMP (cGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscles of the penile blood vessels, ensuring blood flow.

3. PDE5 Blockade: Tadalafil 5 mg blocks the enzyme that degrades cGMP. With daily intake, TADAFLO 5 creates a constant background concentration of Tadalafil in the blood, which is sufficient to enhance the natural erectile response at any time.

Key takeaway: TADAFLO 5 does not cause a constant erection; it provides constant readiness for one in response to sexual arousal.

Critical contraindications

The list of contraindications related to the vasodilating effect is strict.

• Severe Cardiovascular Diseases: Recent heart attack or stroke (within 6 months), unstable angina, severe heart failure.

Side effects of TADAFLO 5 (Minimal Risk)

Professional advice on using

1. Consistency is Key: For TADAFLO 5 to work, it must be taken every day. Missing a dose can reduce efficacy.

2. Not for a "Quick Start": If you are looking for a one-time pill, use the 20 mg dose. TADAFLO 5 is intended for course therapy.

3. BPH Treatment: If you are taking TADAFLO 5 for enlarged prostate symptoms, continue taking it even if you do not plan sexual activity.
