Tadalafil is a well-established PDE5 inhibitor, and its 5mg strength is specifically the dose used for once-daily regimens rather than the higher, on-demand doses. TADMOOD-5 is formulated as a film-coated tablet for that once-daily use case.
Composition
Tadalafil — 5 mg — Selective PDE5 inhibitor; supports smooth muscle relaxation relevant to erectile function and lower urinary tract symptoms
Pharmacological Class
Tadalafil is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). Inhibiting PDE5 raises intracellular cGMP levels, producing smooth muscle relaxation — this same mechanism acts on vascular smooth muscle and on smooth muscle in the lower urinary tract, which is why tadalafil at the 5mg once-daily dose is used in more than one indication.
Indications / Areas of Use
- Erectile dysfunction, as prescribed by a registered medical practitioner
- Signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
- Concurrent presentation of erectile dysfunction and BPH
Use in any of the above is determined by the prescribing physician based on individual clinical assessment.
Who Typically Prescribes TADMOOD-5
Urologists and Andrologists prescribe it for BPH and erectile dysfunction management. General Physicians also prescribe it within their scope for appropriately assessed patients, often referring for further evaluation where indicated.
Dosage & Administration
As prescribed by a Registered Medical Practitioner. The 5mg strength is typically used as a once-daily dose. This is a Schedule H drug — sale by retail is permitted only against the prescription of a Registered Medical Practitioner. Not for self-medication.
Safety Information
Tadalafil should not be used by patients on nitrate therapy, and caution is required in patients with certain cardiovascular or hepatic/renal conditions. A full assessment of medical history and current medications should be carried out by the prescribing physician before use. Store below 25°C, protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Patient Counselling Points
- Take exactly as directed by the prescribing physician — do not adjust dose independently
- Inform the physician of all other medications, especially nitrates or alpha-blockers, before starting
- Report any chest pain, vision changes, or prolonged symptoms to a doctor promptly
- Effects of a once-daily regimen build up over continued use — do not discontinue or restart without medical advice
