More precisely, tadalafil belongs to the group of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme inhibitors and, as many will know, is used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.The indications regarding the treatment of urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia and the treatment of pulmonary hypertension are probably less well known.
To carry out its action, tadalafil must be taken orally. In fact, it can be found inside tablets at a concentration of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg.
Medicines containing tadalafil used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction are generally dispensable by presenting a repeatable medical prescription (RR) and being most of them classified as class C drugs, their cost is fully borne by the citizen.
On the other hand, tadalafil-containing medicines used in the treatment of arterial hypertension can only be sold on presentation of a limited repeatable prescription (RRL - sold to the public on prescription from specialists or hospital centers); however, being classified as class A drugs, their cost can be reimbursed by the National Health System (SSN).
