Tadalafil for erectile dysfunction: excellent safety and tolerance / 中华男科学杂志

ABSTRACT

As a novel phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, tadalafil is administered orally for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). In addition to its outstanding efficacy that lasts 36 hours, tadalafil shows an excellent safety and tolerance, with only a few transient mild to moderate adverse events. Usually ED patients are concomitantly afflicted with multiple pre-existing medical conditions or receive a range of drugs at the same time. Therefore, it is essential to understand its safety in general population and some special high-risk cohorts.
