Indications and usage     

Tadalafil is indicated for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. This is, when a man can not get or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity.

Tadalafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors . After sexual stimulation, tadalafil works by helping to relax the blood vessels in your penis, allowing the inflow of blood to this. The result is improved erectile function. Tadalafil will not help you if you do not have erectile dysfunction.

It is important to note that tadalafil does not works if sexual stimulation not occurs, just as you would if you were not taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction.

Medizzine recommends consult your doctor if you are unsure (or you do not know) why you have been given tadalafil.
