WHAT ADCIRCA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
ADCIRCA contains the active substance tadalafil.
ADCIRCA is a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension in adults
and in children aged 2 years
and above.
It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5
(PDE5) inhibitors which work by
helping the blood vessels around your lungs relax, improving the flow
of blood into your lungs. The
result of this is an improved ability to do physical activity.
