The Science
How It Works
Tadalafil selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), preventing the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Elevated cGMP levels promote smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow in the corpus cavernosum, facilitating erectile response to sexual stimulation.
Safety & Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, indigestion, back pain, and nasal congestion. Tadalafil must not be used with nitrate medications due to the risk of severe hypotension. Patients with cardiovascular conditions should discuss risks with their clinician.
