Tadalafil 5 mg (Cialis) for Erectile Dysfunction

tadalafil at 5 mg is mainly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Here are its main functions and how it acts:

1. Mechanism of action

-Tadalafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5). This enzyme is responsible for degrading nitrogen monoxide (no)-dependent on cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the vascular tissue of the penis. By inhibiting PDE-5, tadalafil allows cGMP levels to remain high. This results in a relaxation of smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis, which increases blood flow to the penis and facilitates obtaining and maintaining an erection.

2. In erectile dysfunction

Improves erectile function: helps men with DE to have sufficient erections for satisfactory sexual activity.

Flexibility at the time of taking: unlike some other drugs for ED, tadalafil has a long duration of action. A 5 mg tablet may be enough for some men and, in some cases, it can be taken regularly instead of just before sexual activity. This allows for greater spontaneity in sexual life, as it is not necessary to plan for taking the medication too much in advance.

In addition, tadalafil is also being investigated and in some cases is used to treat other vascular disorders related to erectile dysfunction, such as pulmonary hypertension. However, its use should be monitored by a doctor, as it may have side effects and contraindications.
