TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN is a medicine that combines two medications, primarily used to treat erection problems (erectile dysfunction) and symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostate enlargement). Erectile dysfunction is when you are either unable to get an erection or unable to keep an erection for long enough to have sex. Benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is the medical term to describe an enlarged prostate, a condition that can affect how you pee (urinate).
TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN consists of Tadalafil and Tamsulosin. Tadalafil blocks the action of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase, thereby relaxing the blood vessels of the penis and resulting in increased blood supply to your penis, causing an erection. Tamsulosin relaxes the prostate and urinary bladder muscles so that urine can flow easily. It also helps to reduce the symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland by relaxing the muscle around the bladder and prostate gland so you can pee more easily.
You are advised to take TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN for as long as your doctor prescribes it. Sometimes, TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN can cause side effects like headaches, feeling sick, indigestion, facial flushes, dizziness, or sweating. These side effects are unfamiliar to everyone and vary from person to person. Please consult your doctor if you persistently experience any of these side effects.
Before taking TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN since it may raise the risk of low blood pressure. TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN may cause dizziness; therefore, drive only if alert.
Erection problems (erectile dysfunction) and symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostate enlargement).
TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN is a combination of Tadalafil and Tamsulosin. Tadalafil inhibits the function of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase, which relaxes the blood vessels of the penis, resulting in increased blood supply to the penis and an erection. Tamsulosin relaxes the prostate and urinary bladder muscles, allowing urine to flow freely. It also helps to alleviate the symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland by relaxing the muscles around the bladder and prostate gland, allowing you to pee more freely.
Before taking the TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN, inform your doctor about all your allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to medicines or food. Before taking TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN, inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are currently taking to rule out any potential negative effects. TADALAFIL+TAMSULOSIN should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Erectile dysfunction: Erectile dysfunction is when you are either unable to get an erection or unable to keep an erection for long enough to have sex. This is usually caused by stress, tiredness or drinking too much alcohol. It can also be a side effect of some medicines. It may be caused by a condition such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, diabetes, depression or anxiety and hormone problems.
Benign prostate enlargement: Benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is the medical term to describe an enlarged prostate, a condition that can affect how you pee (urinate). If the prostate becomes enlarged, it can place pressure on the bladder and the urethra, which is the tube that urine passes through. This can affect how you pee and may cause difficulty starting to pee, a frequent need to pee, or difficulty emptying your bladder.
