Adult dose
Use in adult men The recommended dose of this medicine is 10mg, taken with or without food before anticipated sexual activity. For patients in whom tadalafil 10mg does not provide an adequate effect, 20mg may be tried. This medicine may be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once daily. Long-term safety after extended daily dosing has not been established, and because the effect of this medicine usually lasts for more than one day, continuous daily administration is strongly not recommended. [See sections 1. Warnings and 11.1) Pharmacodynamic properties] Use in elderly men No dosage adjustment is required in elderly patients. Use in men with renal impairment No dosage adjustment is required in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. The maximum recommended dose in patients with severe renal impairment is 10mg. [See section 11.2) Pharmacokinetic properties]. Use in men with hepatic impairment The recommended dose is 10mg, taken with or without food before anticipated sexual activity. Since clinical data on the safety of this medicine in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) are limited, if it is prescribed, the physician should carefully assess the individual benefit/risk. There are no data on administration of doses higher than 10mg to patients with hepatic impairment. [See sections 3. Use with caution in the following patients and 11.2) Pharmacokinetic properties]. Use in men with diabetes No dosage adjustment is required in patients with diabetes.

Precautions

This medication is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and the physician must check the patient's cardiovascular condition and medical history thoroughly before prescribing this medication.

If an erection lasting more than 4 hours occurs after taking this medication, seek immediate medical attention as untreated cases can lead to penile tissue damage and permanent loss of erectile function. This medication should not be used by patients taking nitrate preparations, as there is a risk of dangerously low blood pressure. Patients with recent cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, angina, stroke, uncontrolled hypertension, or hypotension should not use this medication. Patients with genetic retinal diseases or hypersensitivity to this medication should also avoid its use. It is not recommended to use this medication together with other erectile dysfunction treatments, as its safety has not been established. Patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment should use this medication with caution, as the combination with some antihypertensive agents may cause symptoms of hypotension.
