Package Leaflet: Information for the Patient
Tadalafil Jubilant 5 mg Film-Coated Tablets EFG
Read the entire package leaflet carefully before starting to take this medication, as it contains important information for you.
Contents of the Package Leaflet:
Tadalafil Jubilant contains the active substance tadalafil, which belongs to a group of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. After sexual stimulation, tadalafil acts by helping to relax the blood vessels in your penis, allowing blood flow to the penis. The result is an improvement in erectile function. Tadalafil will not help if you do not have erectile dysfunction.
It is essential to warn you that tadalafil 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.
Tadalafil 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 has demonstrated significant improvement in the ability to obtain a lasting erection of the penis suitable for sexual activity.
Tadalafil 5 mgonly
Tadalafil 5 mg is used to treat adult men with urinary symptoms associated with a common condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. This occurs when the prostate gland enlarges with age. Symptoms include difficulty starting to urinate, feeling that the bladder has not been completely emptied, needing to urinate more frequently, even at night. Tadalafil improves blood flow and relaxes the muscles of the prostate and bladder, which can reduce the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tadalafil has been shown to improve these urinary symptoms within a short period, such as 1-2 weeks after starting treatment.
Do not take TadalafilJubilantif:
Warnings and Precautions
Consult your doctor before starting to take tadalafil.
Be aware that sexual activity carries a possible risk in patients with heart problems, due to the additional effort it entails for the heart. If you have a heart problem, consult your doctor.
Tadalafil 5 mg only
Since benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer can have the same symptoms, your doctor will perform a prostate cancer screening before starting treatment with tadalafil for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tadalafil does not treat prostate cancer.

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.

Method of Administration
Tadalafil 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.
For the treatment of erectile dysfunction
The recommended dose is one 5 mg tablet once a day, approximately at the same time. Your doctor may adjust the dose to 2.5 mg based on your response to tadalafil. This will be done by taking a 2.5 mg tablet.
Do not take tadalafil more than once a day.
Tadalafil taken daily may be useful in men who anticipate having sexual activity two or more times a week.
Tadalafil taken daily allows you to obtain an erection at any time during the 24 hours, as long as there is sexual stimulation.
It is essential to warn you that tadalafil 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.
Consuming alcohol 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, avoid excessive alcohol consumption (blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher), as it may increase the risk of dizziness when standing up.
For the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
The dose is one 5 mg tablet once a day, approximately at the same time. If you have benign prostatic hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction, the dose remains one 5 mg tablet once a day.
Do not take Tadalafil more than once a day.
