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

Tadalafilo is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. This condition occurs when a man is unable to obtain or maintain a firm erection, adequate for a satisfactory sexual activity. Tadalafilo has demonstrated a significant improvement in the ability to obtain a lasting erection of the penis, adequate for sexual activity.

After sexual stimulation, this medication 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 this medication is not effective without sexual stimulation. Therefore, you and your partner should stimulate yourselves in the same way you would without taking a medication for erectile dysfunction.

Do not take Tadalafilo Abdi if:

• You are allergic to tadalafil or any of the other components 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 (chest pain). Tadalafil has been seen to increase the effects of these medications. If you are taking any type of nitrates or are unsure, tell your doctor.
• You have a serious heart condition or have had a heart attack recently, within the last 90 days.
• You have had a recent stroke, within the last 6 months.
• You have low or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• You have ever had vision loss 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 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 tadalafil, 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 tadalafil.

Be aware that sexual activity poses a possible risk for patients with heart problems, due to the additional strain it puts on the heart. If you have a heart condition, 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 tadalafil for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tadalafil does not treat prostate cancer.

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

• Anemia falciforme (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.

The effectiveness of tadalafil is not known in patients who have undergone:

• Pelvic surgery.
• A surgical intervention in which the prostate has been completely or partially removed and the prostate nerves have been cut (radical prostatectomy without neurovascular bundle preservation).

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

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 tadalafil and immediately contact your doctor.

Tadalafil is not intended for use in women.

Children and Adolescents

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

Other Medications and Tadalafilo Abdi

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medication.

Do not take tadalafil if you are already taking 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 to treat high blood pressure.
• Riociguat(a medication used to treat high blood pressure in the lungs). See also “Do not take Tadalafilo Abdi if:”
• A 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia).
• Medications such as ketoconazole tablets (for the treatment of fungal infections) and protease inhibitors for the treatment of HIV/AIDS or HIV infection.
• Phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine (anticonvulsant medications).
• Rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, or itraconazole.
• Other treatments for erectile dysfunction.

Taking Tadalafilo Abdi with Beverages and Alcohol

The 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 treated dogs, a decrease in sperm production by the testicles was observed. A decrease in sperm count has been observed in some men. It is unlikely that these effects will cause infertility.

Driving and Operating Machines

Some men who took tadalafil during clinical trials experienced dizziness. Check carefully how you react when taking the tablets before driving or operating machines.

Tadalafilo Abdi contains lactose

This medication contains lactose. If your doctor has indicated that you have a certain sugar intolerance, consult with them before taking this medication.

Tadalafilo Abdi contains sodium

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

Follow exactly the administration instructions for this medication as indicated by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Tadalafilo tablets are for oral administration only in men. Swallow the tablet whole with a little water. Tablets can be taken with or without food.

Consuming alcohol may affect your ability to achieve an erection and may temporarily lower your blood pressure. If you have taken or plan to take tadalafilo, avoid excessive alcohol consumption (blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher), as it may increase the risk of dizziness when standing up.

Recommended initial doseis one 10 mg tablet before sexual activity. However, you have been given a dose of one 20 mg tablet because your doctor has decided that the recommended dose of 10 mg is too weak.

You can initiate sexual activity at least 30 minutes after taking tadalafilo. This medication may still be effective up to 36 hours after taking the tablet.

You should not take tadalafilo more than once a day. Tadalafilo 10 and 20 mg will be used before expected sexual activity and are not recommended for continuous daily use.

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.
