Tafil Tablet

Tafil Tablet contains Tadalafil (5mg), a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Tadalafil belongs to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, which help increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, enabling an erection. Tafil is also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs to improve blood flow.

Uses of Tafil Tablet

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.
• Management of symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
• Helps treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by improving blood flow to the lungs.

How Tafil Tablet Works

Tafil Tablet works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which leads to increased levels of cGMP, a substance that relaxes and widens the blood vessels in the penis. This improved blood flow facilitates an erection when combined with sexual stimulation. For PAH, Tadalafil relaxes the blood vessels in the lungs, improving oxygen flow and reducing pulmonary pressure.

Benefits of Tafil Tablet

• Improves erectile function and helps achieve and maintain an erection.
• Relieves symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, including frequent urination and difficulty urinating.
• Improves exercise capacity in individuals with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
• Convenient once-daily dosing for continuous symptom management.

For erectile dysfunction, the tablet should be taken prior to sexual activity, but not more than once a day. Do not exceed the recommended dosage and consult your doctor if you miss a dose.
