WHAT TADALAFIL HENNIG 5 MG FILM-COATED TABLETS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE
USED FOR
Tadalafil Hennig 5 mg contains the active substance tadalafil which
belongs to a group of medicines
called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
Tadalafil Hennig 5 mg is used to treat adult men with:
-
erectile dysfunction. This is when a man cannot get, or keep a hard,
erect penis suitable for
sexual activity. Tadalafil Hennig 5 mg has been shown to significantly
improve the ability of
obtaining a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity.
Following sexual stimulation Tadalafil Hennig 5 mg works by helping
the blood vessels in your
penis to relax, allowing the flow of blood into your penis. The result
of this is improved erectile
function.
Tadalafil Hennig 5 mg will not help you if you do not have erectile
dysfunction. It is important to
note that Tadalafil Hennig 5 mg for the treatment of erectile
dysfunction does not work if there is
no sexual stimulation. You and your partner will need to engage in
foreplay, just as you wo

_Erectile dysfunction in adult men _
In general, the recommended dose is 10 mg taken prior to anticipated

In those patients in whom tadalafil 10 mg does not produce an adequate
effect, 20 mg might be tried. It
may be taken at least 30 minutes prior to sexual activity.
The maximum dose frequency is once per day.
Tadalafil 10 and 20 mg is intended for use prior to anticipated sexual
activity and it is not
recommended for continuous daily use.
In patients who anticipate a frequent use of Tadalafil Hennig (i.e.,
at least twice weekly) a once daily
regimen with the lowest doses of Tadalafil Hennig might be considered

choice and the physician’s judgement.
In these patients the recommended dose is 5 mg taken once a day at
approximately the same time of
day. The dose may be decreased to 2.5 mg once a day based on
