What is tadalafil?

Tadalafil is the active ingredient in a well-known medication for erectile dysfunction; it is also used in some patients for symptoms of an enlarged prostate. It is a PDE5 inhibitor known for a longer duration of action than some alternatives, and may be taken as needed or daily depending on the situation. Because it can interact with certain conditions and medications (for example, nitrates), it is available by prescription only, and a physician determines whether it is appropriate for you.

Who commonly uses tadalafil?

Doctors On Site physicians commonly assess patients seen through our programs, including:

Erectile dysfunction Symptoms of an enlarged prostate (in some patients) Patients seeking a physician-assessed treatment option Patients who prefer a longer-acting option

How does tadalafil work?

Tadalafil increases blood flow to the penis in response to sexual stimulation, helping achieve and maintain an erection; it can also relax muscles relevant to prostate symptoms. It may be taken as needed or daily. Because of possible interactions and contraindications, a physician reviews your history before prescribing.

Who may qualify?

  • Adults seeking assessment for erectile dysfunction or prostate symptoms
  • Patients willing to complete a clinical assessment with a licensed physician
  • Those without contraindications identified during the assessment
  • Patients who can commit to appropriate follow-up
