Overview

Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor commonly prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps relax blood vessels in specific areas of the body, improving blood flow and supporting normal function.

Unlike some alternatives, tadalafil has a longer duration of action (up to 36 hours), which is why it’s often called the “weekend pill.”
