Tadalafilo Accord contains the active ingredient tadalafilo, which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.

Tadalafilo Accord is used to treat:

• Erectile dysfunction in adult men:

This occurs when a man is unable to obtain or maintain a firm, adequate erection for satisfactory sexual activity. Tadalafilo has demonstrated a significant improvement in the ability to obtain a lasting erection of the penis suitable for sexual activity. 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 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 as you would without taking a medication for erectile dysfunction.

• Pulmonary arterial hypertension in adults
  Its action consists of helping the blood vessels around the lungs to relax, improving blood flow to the lungs. The result of this is an increased ability to engage in physical activity.

Do not take Tadalafilo Accord if you:

• are allergic to tadalafil or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• 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 Accord has been seen to increase the effects of these medications. If you are taking any type of nitrates or are unsure, tell your doctor.
• have a serious heart condition or have had a heart attack recently, within the last 90 days.
• have had a recent stroke, within the last 6 months.
• have low or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• have ever had vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a condition described as "eye infarction".
• are taking riociguat. This medication is used to treat pulmonary 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 Accord, have shown to increase the hypotensive effect of this medication. If you are taking riociguat or are unsure, consult your doctor.
