1. What is Tadalafil Aristo and what is it used for

Tadalafil Aristo is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. This occurs when a man cannot obtain or maintain a firm erection, suitable for satisfactory sexual activity. Tadalafil Aristo has shown significant improvement in the ability to achieve a lasting erection of the penis suitable for sexual activity.

Tadalafil Aristo contains the active ingredient tadalafil, which belongs to a group of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. After sexual stimulation, Tadalafil Aristo acts by helping to relax the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood flow to the penis. The result is improved erectile function. Tadalafil Aristo will not help if you do not have erectile dysfunction.

It is essential to warn you that Tadalafil Aristo is not effective if there is no sexual stimulation. Therefore, you and your partner should stimulate each other in the same way as you would if you were not taking a medication for erectile dysfunction.

2. What you need to know before taking Tadalafil Aristo

Do not take Tadalafil Aristo if:

• you are allergic to tadalafil or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

• you are taking any type of organic nitrates or nitric oxide donors, such as amyl nitrite. This is a group of medications ("nitrates") used to treat angina pectoris ("chest pain"). It has been seen that Tadalafil Aristo increases the effects of these medications. If you are taking any type of nitrate or are unsure, tell your doctor;

• you have a severe heart disease or have recently suffered a heart attack, in the last 90 days;

• you have recently suffered a stroke, in the last 6 months;

• you have low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure;

• you have ever experienced vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a disease described as "eye infarction";

• you are taking riociguat. This medication is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (i.e., high blood pressure in the lungs) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (i.e., high blood pressure in the lungs caused by blood clots). Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, such as Tadalafil Aristo, have shown that they increase the hypotensive effect of this medication. If you are taking riociguat or are unsure, consult your doctor.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take Tadalafil Aristo.

Be aware that sexual activity carries a possible risk in patients with heart problems, due to the additional effort it requires for the heart. If you have a heart problem, consult your doctor.

Before taking the tablets, inform your doctor if you have:

• sickle cell anemia (a red blood cell abnormality);

• multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer);
• leukemia (blood cell cancer);
• any penile deformation;
• a severe liver problem;
• a severe kidney problem.

It is not known if Tadalafil Aristo is effective in patients who have undergone:

• surgery in the pelvic area;
• a surgical intervention in which the prostate was totally or partially removed and the prostate nerves were cut (radical prostatectomy without preservation of neurovascular bundles).

If you experience a sudden decrease or loss of vision, or your vision is distorted, blurred, or diminished while taking Tadalafil Aristo, stop taking Tadalafil Aristo and contact your doctor immediately.

A decrease or sudden loss of hearing has been observed in some patients taking tadalafil. Although it is not known if the event is directly related to tadalafil, if you experience a decrease or sudden loss of hearing, stop taking Tadalafil Aristo and contact your doctor immediately.

Tadalafil Aristo is not intended for use in women.

Children and adolescents

Tadalafil Aristo should not be used in children or adolescents under 18 years of age.

Use of Tadalafil Aristo with other medications

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

Do not take Tadalafil Aristo if you are already using nitrates.

Some medications may be affected by Tadalafil Aristo or may affect the proper functioning of Tadalafil Aristo. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using:

• an alpha-blocker (used to treat high blood pressure or symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia);
• other medications for treating high blood pressure;
• riociguat;
• a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia);
• medications such as ketoconazole tablets (for the treatment of fungal infections) and protease inhibitors for the treatment of AIDS or HIV infection;
• phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine (anticonvulsant medications);
• rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, or itraconazole;
• other treatments for erectile dysfunction.

Taking Tadalafil Aristo with drinks and alcohol

Information about the effect of alcohol can be found in section 3 "How to take Tadalafil Aristo". Grapefruit juice may affect the proper functioning of Tadalafil Aristo and should be taken with caution. Consult your doctor for more information.

Fertility

In dogs treated with tadalafil, a decrease in sperm production by the testicles was observed. A reduction in sperm has been observed in some men. It is unlikely that these effects will produce a lack of fertility.

Driving and using machines

Some men who took Tadalafil Aristo during clinical trials experienced dizziness. Carefully check how you react when taking the tablets before driving or using machines.

Tadalafil Aristo contains lactose

Each Tadalafil Aristo 10 mg film-coated tablet contains 126 mg of lactose (as monohydrate).

Each Tadalafil Aristo 20 mg film-coated tablet contains 252 mg of lactose (as monohydrate).

If you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult your doctor before taking this medication.

3. How to take Tadalafil Aristo

Follow the administration instructions of this medication indicated by your doctor exactly. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Tadalafil Aristo tablets are for oral administration only in men. Swallow the tablet whole with a little water. The tablets can be taken with or without food.

The tablet can be divided into equal doses

The recommended initial dose is one 10 mg tablet before sexual activity. If the effect of this dose is too weak, your doctor may increase the dose to 20 mg.

When taking Tadalafil Aristo, you can initiate sexual activity at least 30 minutes after taking it.

Tadalafil Aristo may still be effective up to 36 hours after taking the tablet.

Do not take Tadalafil Aristo more than once a day. Tadalafil Aristo 10 and 20 mg will be used before expected sexual activity and are not recommended for continuous daily use.

It is essential to warn you that Tadalafil Aristo is not effective if there is no sexual stimulation. Therefore, you and your partner should stimulate each other in the same way as you would if you were not taking a medication for erectile dysfunction.

Alcohol consumption may affect your ability to have an erection and may temporarily lower your blood pressure. If you have taken or are planning to take Tadalafil Aristo, avoid excessive alcohol consumption (blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher), as it may increase the risk of dizziness when standing up.

If you take more Tadalafil Aristo than you should

Consult your doctor. You may experience adverse effects described in section 4 "Possible adverse effects".

If you forget to take Tadalafil Aristo

Take your dose as soon as you remember, but do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses. Do not take Tadalafil Aristo more than once a day.

If you have any other doubts about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
