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.

Tadalafilo Pensa contains 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 your penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis. The result is an improvement in erectile function. Tadalafilo will not help 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 if you were not taking a medication for erectile dysfunction.

Do not take Tadalafilo Pensa if:

• You are allergic to tadalafilo 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 (chest pain). Tadalafilo has been seen to increase the effects of these medications. If you are taking any type of nitrates or are unsure, tell your doctor.

• You have a serious heart condition or have had a heart attack recently, within the last 90 days.

• You have had a recent stroke, within the last 6 months.

• You have low or uncontrolled high blood pressure.

• You have ever had vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a condition described as "eye infarction".

• You are taking riociguat. This medication 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). PDE5 inhibitors, such as tadalafilo, have been shown to 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 this medication.

Be aware that sexual activity can pose a possible risk for patients with heart problems, due to the additional strain it puts on the heart. If you have a heart condition, consult your doctor.

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

• Anemia falciforme (a blood disorder).
• Multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer).
• Leukemia (blood cancer).
• Any deformity of the penis.

The effectiveness of tadalafilo is not known in patients who have undergone:

• A surgical procedure in which the prostate has been completely or partially removed and the nerves of the prostate have been cut (radical prostatectomy without neurovascular bundle preservation).
