Strength: 10mg
Generic Name: Tadalafil
Company: Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
MRP:৳ 35.0 (Tablet)
Is Antibiotic: No
Indications
Adafil 10 is indicated for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED), Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or both ED and symptoms of BPH.
Pharmacology
Adafil 10 is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). By inhibiting PDE5, Adafil 10 increases the levels of cGMP in smooth muscle cells. This helps relax the smooth muscles and increase blood flow to the penis, causing an erection. PDE5 is also found in the prostate and bladder wall, so inhibiting Adafil 10 improves blood flow and helps with urination by relaxing smooth muscles in those areas.
Dosage & Administration
Erectile Dysfunction: The recommended starting dose is 10 mg, which can be adjusted to 5 mg or 20 mg based on individual needs. The maximum dosing frequency is once a day. Adafil 10 is effective for up to 36 hours.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: The recommended dose is 5 mg once daily, at the same time each day.
Combined Erectile Dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: The recommended dose is 5 mg once daily, at the same time each day.
Interaction
Adafil 10 may interact with nitrates (e.g., Isosorbide, Nitroglycerin), alpha blockers, antihypertensives, alcohol, antacids, certain antifungals (e.g., Ketoconazole, Itraconazole), HIV protease inhibitors (e.g., Ritonavir), Erythromycin, Grapefruit juice, and other medications like Rifampin, Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, and Phenobarbital.
Contraindications
Adafil 10 is contraindicated for use with nitrates (e.g., Nitroglycerine, Isosorbide) due to the risk of dangerously low blood pressure. Adafil 10 should also not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to Tadalafil.
Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle pain, and nasal congestion. Rare side effects may include changes in vision, sudden vision loss, hearing loss, skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, and serious heart-related issues such as angina, stroke, or heart attack.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Adafil 10 has been assigned pregnancy category B by the USFDA, meaning Adafil 10 is only recommended during pregnancy if the benefits outweigh the risks. There is no data on its excretion in human milk, so caution is advised when giving Adafil 10 to breastfeeding women.
