WHAT IS TADALAFIL USED FOR?

Tadalafil assists in the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. During sexual arousal, tadalafil helps increase blood flow into the penis leading to a prolonged erection.

Tadalafil is also used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). Symptoms include difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently, including during the night.
