TADALAFIL TARBIS FARMA 5 mg FILM-COATED TABLETS

2. What you need to know before taking Tadalafil Tarbis Farma

Do not take Tadalafil Tarbis Farma if:

• you are allergic to tadalafil or any of the other ingredients 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 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 condition or have recently had a heart attack, within the last 90 days.
• you have recently had a stroke, within the last 6 months.
• you have low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• you have ever had a loss of vision 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 (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). PDE5 inhibitors, such as tadalafil, 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 this medication.

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

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.

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 deformity.
• a severe liver problem.
• a severe kidney problem.

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

• surgery in the pelvic area.
• a surgical procedure in which the prostate was completely 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, attenuated, or blurred while taking tadalafil, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor immediately.

A sudden decrease or 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 sudden decrease or loss of hearing, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor immediately.

Tadalafil is not intended for use in women.

Children and Adolescents

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

Other Medications and Tadalafil Tarbis Farma

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

Do not take tadalafil if you are already using nitrates.

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

• an alpha-blocker (used to treat high blood pressure or urinary 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 treating fungal infections) and protease inhibitors for treating AIDS or HIV infection.
• phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine (anticonvulsant medications).
• rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, or itraconazole.
• other treatments for erectile dysfunction.

Taking Tadalafil Tarbis Farma with Drinks and Alcohol

Information about the effect of alcohol is found in section 3. Grapefruit juice may affect the proper functioning of tadalafil 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 during clinical trials experienced dizziness. Check carefully how you react when taking the tablets before driving or using machines.

Tadalafil Tarbis Farma Contains Lactose

If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medication.

Tadalafil Tarbis Farma Contains Sodium

This medication contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet; it is essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to Take Tadalafil Tarbis Farma

Follow your doctor's instructions for taking this medication exactly. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

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

Consuming alcohol 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 Erectile Dysfunction

The Recommended Doseis 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. Since Tadalafil Tarbis Farma is not available in 2.5 mg film-coated tablets, the availability of other suitable formulations should be checked.

Do not take tadalafil more than once a day.

Tadalafil taken daily allows you to achieve an erection at any time during the 24 hours of the day, provided there is sexual stimulation. Tadalafil taken daily may be useful in men who anticipate having sexual activity two or more times a week.

It is essential to note 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.

Alcohol consumption may affect your ability to have an erection.

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.

If You Take More Tadalafil Tarbis Farma Than You Should

Consult your doctor. You may experience side effects described in section 4.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately, or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested. It is recommended to bring the packaging and the package leaflet of the medication to the healthcare professional.

If You Forget to Take Tadalafil Tarbis Farma

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

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