Tadalafil acts by blocking phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), an enzyme
that promotes breakdown of cGMP, which regulates blood flow in the
penis.
Increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) produces
smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum and allowing inflow of
blood which help in erection
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction
Therapeutic Indications Of Cialis 20 Mg Tablets
Tadalafil is used to treat:
Erectile dysfunction in adult men: This is when a man cannot get, or
keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity. It is important
to note that Tadalafil does not work if there is no sexual stimulation.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension in adults: It works by helping the
blood vessels around your lungs relax, improving the flow of blood into
your lungs. The result of this is an improved ability to do physical
activity.
