6. Contents of the pack and additional information

Tadalafilo Cipla contains the active ingredient tadalafilo. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors that work by helping to relax the blood vessels around your lungs, improving blood flow in the lungs. The result of this is an improved ability to perform physical activity

Tadalafilo Cipla is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension in adults.

Do not take Tadalafilo Cipla if you:

• are allergic to tadalafil or any of the other ingredients (see section 6).
• are taking any type of nitrates such as amyl nitrite, which are administered to relieve "chest pain". Tadalafil may increase the effects of these medications. If you are taking any type of nitrates or are unsure, consult your doctor.
• have previously experienced loss of vision - a condition described as "eye stroke" (anterior ischemic optic neuropathy - NAION).
• have had a heart attack in the last 3 months.
• have low blood pressure.
• 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 tadalafil, have shown to increase the hypotensive effect of this medication. If you are taking riociguat or are unsure, consult your doctor.

If you experience a decrease or sudden loss of vision or your vision is distorted or blurred while taking tadalafil, contact your doctor immediately.
