CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Tadalafil Teva Pharma 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

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 patients_
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

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 reco
