Tadalafil, sold under the brand name Cialis among others, is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and pulmonary arterial hypertension.[5][6][8] It is taken by mouth.[8] Onset is typically within half an hour and the duration is up to 36 hours.[8]
Common side effects include headache, muscle pain, flushed skin, and nausea.[8] Caution is advised in those with cardiovascular disease.[8] Rare but serious side effects include a prolonged erection that can lead to damage to the penis, vision problems, and hearing loss.[8] Tadalafil is not recommended in people taking nitrovasodilators such as nitroglycerin, as this may result in a serious drop in blood pressure.[8] Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor which increases blood flow to the penis.[8] It also dilates blood vessels in the lungs, which lowers the pulmonary artery pressure.[8]
Tadalafil was approved for medical use in the United States in 2003.[8] It is available as a generic medication.[9] In 2021, it was the 171st most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 3million prescriptions.[10][11]
