What is Tadagra 40 mg

Tadagra 40 mg is a prescription treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or impotence in males.

The active element in the drug is Tadalafil.

Tadagra functions by relaxing blood flow to the penile region, which aids in achieving and sustaining erections.

The manufacturer of Tadagra 40mg is Dharam Distributors.

Uses of Tadagra (Tadalafil)

Tadalafil belongs to the class of Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors. Tadagra 40mg is used to treat Erectile Dysfunction.

Paired with sexual stimulation, it helps men get and sustain erections by increasing blood flow to the penis.

Reduced blood supply to the penile area is the primary cause of this sexual dysfunction. Tadagra aids in its enhancement.

Additionally, Tadalafil treats the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia-BPH). It helps alleviate BPH symptoms, such as frequent or urgent urination, a weak urine stream, and difficulty initiating pee flow.

Tadalafil relaxes the bladder and prostate's smooth muscles.

Note: This medicine does not protect against STDs (such as HIV, Hepatitis B, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis).
