INTRODUCTION
TADAFLO contains Tadalafil which belongs to the group of medicines called Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors. It is used in adult men to treat erectile dysfunction and urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate enlargement causing painful or frequent urination or untentional passing of urine).

Erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence) is a sexual condition where a man cannot sustain a hard erected penis that is required for a normal sexual activity. It happens due to decreased blood flow to the penis.

TADAFLO would help you to get an erection only if you are sexually stimulated. It is not an aphrodisiac (sex-stimulating agent) and therefore cannot be used to induce sexual thoughts or can improve sexual performance/pleasure in healthy men. It is also not suitable for use in healthy men who do not have erectile dysfunction.

It may take around 30 minutes to 1 hour for TADAFLO to start working, therefore take this medicine at least one hour before planning to have sex. Avoid consuming alcohol or grapefruit juice while taking TADAFLO, as it may lead to unwanted side effects.

Before taking TADAFLO, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have any deformity in your penis or have undergone surgical removal of whole or a part of the prostate gland.

TADAFLO is not recommended for use in patients with severely low or high blood pressure and in patients who recently had stroke. The most common side effects of taking TADAFLO are flushing, headache, dizziness, blurred vision and muscle pain. Consult your doctor if any of these side effect troubles you.

You must also inform your doctor if you experience any painful and prolong erection after taking TADAFLO.

USES OF TADAFLO
It is used to treat:

Erectile dysfunction
Signs of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
HOW TADAFLO WORKS
TADAFLO works by blocking the effects of certain enzymes (PDE5) in the body that limits blood flow to the penis. This relaxes the blood vessels supplying the penis, improves blood flow to the penis and makes it stay erected throughout the process of sexual intercourse.

It also relaxes the smooth muscles surrounding the bladder and prostate gland which improves the flow of urine thereby reducing the unpleasant signs of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Take TADAFLO preferably before meals and at least 1 hour before sexual intercourse or as advised by your physician.

For Tablet: Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine.

For Orally Disintegrating Strip/Flim: Place the medicine inside the mouth until it dissolves on its own. Do not swallow or crush or chew the medicine.

For Granules: Disperse the medicine in the required amount of water as mentioned in the product label. Stir the mixture until it becomes uniform. Consume the medicine immediately after reconstitution.

Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of therapy for you depending upon your age, body weight and disease condition.
