What is Tadalafila used for?
tadalafil is primarily used for the following purposes:
1. Treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)
Mechanism for action:
-Tadalafil inhibits the type 5 phosphodiesterase enzyme (PDE-5), which is responsible for the degradation of cyclic monophosphate guanosin (cGMP) in the cavernous tissue of the penis. By inhibiting PDE-5, the concentration of cGMP is increased, which results in a relaxation of smooth muscles in cavernous tissue and allows greater blood flow to the penis, facilitating erection.
Effectiveness:
-help men with SD achieve and maintain sufficient erections for satisfactory sexual activity.
2. Treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (HTPA)
Mechanism for action:
-it also works in the pulmonary vessels by inhibiting PDE-5. This causes a relaxation of smooth muscles in the pulmonary vessels, which reduces pulmonary blood pressure, improving pulmonary hemodynamics.
Effectiveness:
-it can improve exercise capacity, quality of life and survival in patients with HTPA.
It is important to note that tadalafil should be prescribed by a doctor and used according to your directions and recommendations, as it can have adverse effects and contraindications.
