About salt of the drug

The drug is available as monohydrochloride salt. This monohydrochloride salt Tadalafil is an oral drug that is used to treat impotence (the inability to attain or maintain a penile erection) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It falls in a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors that also includes sildenafil (Viagra) and vardenafil (Levitra). Erection of the penis is caused by the filling of the penis with blood. Filling occurs because the blood vessels that bring blood to the penis increase in size and deliver more blood to the penis, and, at the same time, the blood vessels that take blood away from the penis decrease in size and remove less blood from the penis.

Medical Uses of the drug 

It is used in treatment of :-

• prostate gland enlargement
• pulmonary hypertension 
• treat urinary symptoms in men due to enlarged prostate
• Erectile dysfunction (impotence).

Working of a drug 

• It falls in a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Erection of the penis is begined by the filling of the penis with blood.
• Filling arises because the blood vessels that bring blood to the penis increase in size and allow more blood to the penis, at the same time, the blood vessels that take blood away from the penis contract in size so that less blood is removed from penis. 
• Sexual stimulation that leads to an erection provokes the production and release of nitric oxide in the penis.The nitric oxide induces an enzyme, guanylate cyclase, to produce cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). It is cGMP that is primarily responsible for increasing and decreasing the size of blood vessels carrying blood to and from the penis, and causing an erection.
• When the cGMP is ruined by another enzyme, phosphodiesterase-5, the blood vessels return to their normal size, blood leaves the penis, and the erection ends.
• Tadalafil prohibits phosphodiesterase-5 from destroying cGMP so that it stays around longer. The persistence of cGMP for more time leads to more erection period.

The common side effects which are generally seen are Memory loss, Back pain, Diarrhoea, Facial redness, Flushing, Headache. Generally the side effects should go away after a few hours.
