• Keep this leaflet, as you may need to read it again.
• If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
• This medicine has been prescribed for you only, and you must not give it to others even if they have the same symptoms as you, as it may harm them.

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

Tadalafilo Combix 5 mg is used to treat adult men with:

• erectile dysfunction. This is when a man cannot get or keep a firm erection that is suitable for a satisfying sexual activity. Tadalafilo has shown a significant improvement in the ability to get a lasting erection of the penis that is suitable for sexual activity.

After sexual stimulation, tadalafilo acts by helping to relax the blood vessels in 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 as you would without taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction.

• urinary symptoms associated with a common disease calledbenign prostatic hyperplasia. This is when the prostate gland increases in size with age. Symptoms include difficulty starting to urinate, feeling that the bladder is not fully emptied, needing to urinate more frequently, even at night. Tadalafilo improves blood flow and relaxes the muscles of the prostate and bladder, which may reduce the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tadalafilo has shown to improve these urinary symptoms in as short a time as 1-2 weeks after starting treatment.

Do not take Tadalafilo Combix

• If you are allergic to tadalafilo or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section6).
• If 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”). 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.
• If you have a serious heart disease or have had a recent heart attack, within the last 90 days.
• If you have had a recent stroke, within the last 6 months.
• If you have low or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• If you have ever experienced vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a disease described as “eye infarction”.
• If 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 clots). PDE5 inhibitors, such as Tadalafilo Combix, have 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 Tadalafilo Combix.

Be aware that sexual intercourse carries a possible risk for patients with heart problems, due to the additional effort it imposes on 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 check before starting treatment with tadalafilo for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tadalafilo does not treat prostate cancer.

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

• sickle cell anemia (a abnormality of red blood cells).
• multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer).

• serious liver disease.
• serious kidney disease.

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

• pelvic surgery.
• surgery 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).
