CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
Therapeutic indications
Talmanco is indicated in adults for the treatment of pulmonary
arterial hypertension (PAH) classified
as WHO functional class II and III, to improve exercise capacity (see
section 5.1).
Efficacy has been shown in idiopathic PAH (IPAH) and in PAH related to
collagen vascular disease.
4.2
Posology and method of administration
Treatment should only be initiated and monitored by a physician
experienced in the treatment of PAH.
Posology
The recommended dose is 40 mg (2 x 20 mg) taken once daily with or
without food.
Elderly
Dose adjustments are not required in elderly patients.
Renal impairment
In patients with mild to moderate renal impairment a starting dose of
20 mg once per day is
recommended. The dose may be increased to 40 mg once per day, based on
individual efficacy and
tolerability. In patients with severe renal impairment the use of
tadalafil is not recommended (see
sections 4.4 and 5.2).
Hepatic impairment
Due to limited clinical experience in patients with mild to moderate
hepatic cirrhosis (Child-Pugh
Class A and B), following single doses of 10 mg, a starting dose of 20
mg once per day may be
considered. If tadalafil is prescribed, a careful individual
benefit/risk evaluation should be undertaken
by the prescribing physician. Patients with severe hepatic cirrhosis
(Child-Pugh Class C) have not
been studied and therefore dosing of tadalafil is not recommended
