WHAT GEROCILAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Gerocilan contains the active substance tadalafil which belongs to a
group of medicines called
phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
Gerocilan 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 has been shown to significantly improve
the ability of obtain-
ing a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity.
Following sexual stimulation Gerocilan 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.
Gerocilan will not help you if you do not have erectile dysfunction.
It is important to note
that Gerocilan 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
would if you were not
taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction.
-
urinary symptoms associated with a common condition called
BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPER-
PLASIA
. This is when the prostate gland gets bigger with age. Symptoms
include difficulty
in start
