Tadalafilo is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. This condition occurs when a man is unable to obtain or maintain a firm erection, suitable for a satisfactory sexual activity. Tadalafilo has demonstrated a significant improvement in the ability to obtain a lasting erection of the penis suitable for sexual activity.

TadalafiloAurovitascontains the active ingredient tadalafilo, which belongs to a group of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. After sexual stimulation, tadalafilo acts by helping to relax the blood vessels of the penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis. The result is an improvement in erectile function. Tadalafilo will not be effective if you do not have erectile dysfunction.

It is essential to inform you that tadalafilo is not effective without sexual stimulation. Therefore, you and your partner should stimulate yourselves in the same way you would without taking a medication for erectile dysfunction.

Do not takeTadalafil Aurovitas

-If you are allergic totadalafilor any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

-If you are taking any type of organic nitrates or nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite. This is a group of medicines (“nitrates”) used to treat angina (chest pain). Tadalafil has been seen to increase the effects of these medicines. If you are taking any type of nitrates or are unsure, tell your doctor.

-If you have a serious heart condition or have had a heart attack recently, within the last 90 days.

-If you have had a stroke recently, within the last 6 months.

-If you have low or high blood pressure that is not controlled.

-If you have ever had vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a condition described as “eye infarction”.

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