Caution is advised when used as a treatment for ED in men taking alpha-blockers. • Prolonged erection - patients should seek emergency treatment if an erection lasts >4 hours.
Use with caution in patients predisposed to priapism. • Effects on the eye - patients should stop treatment and seek medical care if a sudden loss of vision occurs in one or both eyes, which could be a sign of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Should be used with caution, and only when the anticipated benefits outweigh the risks, in patients with a history of NAION. Patients with a 'crowded' optic disc may also be at an increased risk of NAION. • Sudden decrease or loss of hearing - patients should stop treatment and seek prompt medical attention • Other urological conditions - prior to initiating treatment for BPH, consideration should be given to other urological conditions that may cause similar symptoms. • Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category B • Labor and Delivery: None • Nursing Mothers: Not indicated for use in women.

However, a greater sensitivity to medications in some older individuals should be considered. • Penile erection during sexual stimulation is caused by increased penile blood flow resulting from the relaxation of penile arteries and corpus cavernosal smooth muscle. This response is mediated by the release of nitric oxide (NO) from nerve terminals and endothelial cells, which stimulates the synthesis of cGMP in smooth muscle cells. Cyclic GMP causes smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow into the corpus cavernosum. The inhibition of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enhances erectile function by increasing the amount of cGMP. Tadalafil inhibits PDE5. Because sexual stimulation is required to initiate the local release of nitric oxide, the inhibition of PDE5 by tadalafil has no effect in the absence of sexual stimulation.
