What are Tadalafil tablets?
Tadalafil tablets are the generic version of the common and branded drug Cialis. Tadalafil is an active ingredient. It belongs to a drug class called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It is available in many strengths, including 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. The dose mainly depends upon the condition being treated and the prescription of your doctor.
How do Tadalafil tablets work?
Tadalafil is an active ingredient and works by relaxing the blood vessels. It promotes blood flow by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). By doing this, it helps increase blood flow to the penis, which in turn treats erectile dysfunction. Moreover, tadalafil gives you longer-lasting effects, up to 36 hours, which is the reason it is commonly known as ‘the weekend pill’.
