Pharmacotherapeutic group
Drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. ATC code G04B E08.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Mechanism of action
Tadalafil is a selective reversible inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) - specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5). When sexual stimulation causes local release of nitric oxide, inhibition of PDE 5 by tadalafil produces increased levels of cGMP in the cavernous body. This leads to relaxation of smooth muscles and increased blood flow to the tissues of the penis, thereby creating an erection. Tadalafil does not act without sexual stimulation.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption. Tadalafil is well absorbed after oral administration. The mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) is reached on average 2 hours after administration. The absolute bioavailability of tadalafil after oral administration has not been established.
Clinical efficacy and safety
Three clinical trials were conducted involving 1054 patients to determine the onset of action of tadalafil, which demonstrated statistically significant improvement in erectile function, as well as efficacy over 36 hours and detection of effect as early as 16 minutes after administration compared to placebo.
Clinical characteristics
Indications
For the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. The drug is effective in the presence of sexual stimulation. Tadalafil is not indicated for use in women.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to tadalafil or to any other component of the medicinal product.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Studies on interactions, the results of which are presented below, were conducted for doses of 10 mg and 20 mg.
Influence of other medicinal products on tadalafil
CYP450 inhibitors. Tadalafil is metabolized mainly by CYP3A4. The selective inhibitor of CYP3A4 - ketoconazole (200 mg daily) - increases the exposure (AUC) of tadalafil (10 mg) by 2 times, and Cmax by 15%.
Special instructions
Before prescribing the medicinal product Tadalafil

Ability to affect reaction speed when driving vehicles or operating other mechanisms
The effect of Tadalafil on the ability to drive vehicles and other mechanisms is minimal.
Method of administration and dosage

Adult men
The recommended dose is 10 mg before predicted sexual activity, regardless of food intake.
Overdose
Symptoms. When administered to healthy volunteers in a single dose of tadalafil up to 500 mg and in multiple doses up to 100 mg per day, undesirable effects were similar to those observed with smaller doses of the drug.
