What is the benefit of tadalafil?

For ED limit tadalafil to max of 2.5 mg/day (for daily use) or 10 mg dose every 72 hr (for use as needed). Avoid concurrent use of tadalafil for pulmonary HTN in patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. clarithromycin will increase the level or effect of tadalafil by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism. cobicistatcobicistat will increase the level or effect of tadalafil by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism. Adjust tadalafil dose for PAH; if on cobicistat, start tadalafil 20 mg/day and may increase up to 40 mg/day; avoid tadalafil when starting cobicistat; for ED, may take a single dose of tadalafil not exceeding 10 mg in 72 hr.

Side Effects

Coadministration of PDE-5 inhibitors (eg, avanafil, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) and guanylate cyclase stimulators (eg, riociguat) is contraindicated due to risk of additive hypotension; do not administer 24 hr before or within 48hr of each other. Either increases effects of the other by pharmacodynamic synergism.
