What is the most important information I should know about tadalafil?

•

A small number of patients have lost eyesight in one eye after taking tadalafil. This type of vision loss is called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). NAION causes a sudden loss of eyesight because blood flow is blocked to the optic nerve. It is not clear at this time if tadalafil causes NAION. NAION also happens in patients who do not take this medicine. People who have a higher chance for NAION include those who:

have heart disease;

are over 50 years old;

have diabetes;

have high blood pressure;

have high cholesterol;

smoke; or

have certain eye problems.

•

Stop using tadalafil if you have any loss in your eyesight and seek medical help right away.

•

Do not take tadalafil if you are taking any of the following medicines:

a nitrate such as nitroglycerin (Nitrostat, Nitrolingual, Nitro-Dur, Nitro-Bid, Minitran, Deponit, Transderm-Nitro, others), isosorbide dinitrate (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate), isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, ISMO, Monoket), and others;

nitrates are also found in some recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers"); or

an alpha blocker (other than tamsulosin (Flomax) 0.4 mg once a day) such as doxazosin (Cardura), guanadrel (Hylorel), prazosin (Minipress), terazosin (Hytrin), alfuzosin (Uroxatral), and others.

•

Taking tadalafil with any of these medications may cause very low blood pressure, possibly resulting in dizziness, fainting, stroke, or heart attack.

•

Contact your doctor or seek emergency medical attention for any erection that lasts longer than 4 hours. A sustained erection can damage the penis.

•

Refrain from further sexual activity and notify your doctor it you develop dizziness, nausea, or angina (pain, tightness, discomfort, numbness, or tingling in the chest, arms, neck, or jaw) during sexual activity.

•

Tadalafil is usually taken when needed before sexual activity. The effects of tadalafil may last for up to 36 hours or more. Your doctor will determine how often you can take tadalafil. Do not take tadalafil more often than is directed by your doctor.

What is tadalafil?

•

Tadalafil relaxes muscles within the penis. This allows increased blood flow into the penis, necessary to achieve and maintain an erection.
