WHAT
Tadalafil Genericon IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tadalafil Genericon is a treatment for adult men with erectile
dysfunction. This is when a man
cannot get, or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity.
Tadalafil Genericon has been
shown to significantly improve the ability of obtaining a hard erect
penis suitable for sexual
activity.
Tadalafil Genericon contains the active substance tadalafil which
belongs to a group of medicines
called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
Following sexual stimulation Tadalafil Genericon 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 Genericon will not help you if you do not have
erectile dysfunction.
It is important to note that Tadalafil Genericon 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.
