Tadalafil is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. The active ingredient in Tadalafil helps increase blood flow to the penis by relaxing the muscles in the blood vessels. This improved blood flow can help you achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. Tadalafil is suitable for men with ED caused by various factors such as neurogenic, vascular, or psychological issues.
