<p>For oral use. Tadalafil tablets can be taken with or without food. Tablet should be swallowed whole and not divided.</p>
<p><strong>Erectile Dysfunction in adult men</strong><br>
<em>Tadalafil for Use as Needed</em><br>
The recommended dose is 10mg taken prior to anticipated sexual activity. In those patients in whom tadalafil 10mg does not produce an adequate effect, the maximum dose is 20mg and the maximum dosing frequency is once per day. It may be taken from 30 minutes to 36 hours prior to sexual activity. Tadalafil 10mg and 20mg is intended for use prior to anticipated sexual activity and it is not recommended for continuous daily use.</p>
<p><em>Tadalafil for Once Daily Use</em><br>
In patients who anticipate a frequent use of tadalafil (i.e. at least twice weekly) a once daily regimen with the lowest doses of tadalafil might be considered suitable, based on patient choice and the physician’s judgement. In these patients the recommended starting dose is 2.5mg once a day, taken at approximately the same time every day, without regard to timing of sexual activity. The dose may be increased to 5mg once a day, based on individual efficacy and tolerability. The appropriateness of continued use of the daily regimen should be reassessed periodically.</p>
<p><strong>Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia</strong><br>
The recommended dose is 5mg, taken at approximately the same time every day. When therapy for BPH is initiated with tadalafil and finasteride, the recommended dose of tadalafil is 5mg, taken at approximately the same time every day for up to 26 weeks.</p>
<p><strong>Erectile Dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia</strong><br>
The recommended dose is 5 mg, taken at approximately the same time every day, without regard to timing of sexual activity.</p>

<p><strong>Use in men with hepatic impairment</strong><br>
<em>Tadalafil for Use as Needed</em><br>
The recommended dose is 10mg taken prior to anticipated sexual activity. There is limited information on the safety of tadalafil in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C); if prescribed, a careful individual benefit/risk evaluation should be undertaken by the prescribing physician. There are no available information about the administration of doses higher than 10mg of tadalafil to patients with hepatic impairment.</p>
<p><em>Tadalafil for Once Daily Use</em><br>
Once-a-day dosing has not been extensively evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment; therefore, if prescribed, a careful individual benefit/risk evaluation should be undertaken by the prescribing physician.</p>

Dose adjustments are not required in diabetic patients.</p>
<p><strong>Paediatric population</strong><br>

- Contraindications
- <p><strong>CONTRAINDICATIONS</strong></p>
<p>Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.</p>
<p>Tadalafil was reported to augment the hypotensive effects of nitrates. This is thought to result from the combined effects of nitrates and tadalafil on the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway. Therefore, administration of tadalafil to patients who are using any form of organic nitrate is contraindicated (see <strong>DRUG INTERACTIONS</strong> – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p>Tadalafil should not be used in men with cardiac disease for whom sexual activity is inadvisable. Physicians should consider the potential cardiac risk of sexual activity in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.</p>
<p>Tadalafil is contraindicated in the following groups of patients with cardiovascular disease:</p>
<ul>
<li>patients with myocardial infarction within the last 90 days</li>
<li>patients with unstable angina or angina occurring during sexual intercourse</li>
<li>patients with New York Heart Association Class 2 or greater heart failure in the last 6 months</li>
<li>patients with uncontrolled arrhythmias, hypotension (<90/50mmHg), or uncontrolled hypertension</li>
<li>patients with a stroke within the last 6 months</li>
</ul>
<p>Tadalafil is contraindicated in patients who have loss of vision in one eye because of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION), regardless of whether this episode was in connection or not with previous PDE5 inhibitor exposure (see <strong>WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS</strong> – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p>The co-administration of PDE5 inhibitors, including tadalafil, with guanylate cyclase stimulators, such as riociguat, is contraindicated as it may potentially lead to symptomatic hypotension (see <strong>DRUG INTERACTIONS</strong> – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
