✔️ Erectile Dysfunction (ED):

• ED refers to the inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse.
• It can be caused by physical factors (such as high blood pressure, smoking, and obesity) or psychological factors (like anxiety, depression, and stress).
• Symptoms include difficulty in achieving and maintaining an erection and decreased sexual desire.

✔️ Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):

• BPH, also known as prostate enlargement, is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland.
• This condition is characterized by the multiplication of cells in the prostate, leading to swelling and squeezing of the urethra.
• Symptoms of BPH include loss of bladder control, frequent urination, difficulty in urination, incomplete bladder emptying, weak urinary stream, dribbling, sudden urge to urinate, and painful urination.

✔️

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH):

• PAH is a condition where high blood pressure affects the arteries in the lungs and heart.
• It occurs due to narrowed or blocked blood vessels, which increases the workload on the heart.
• Symptoms of PAH include chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and ankles.

✔️ Pharmacology

Tadalafil is a specific inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). PDE5 inhibition raises cGMP levels in smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow into the corpus cavernosum are both caused by cGMP, resulting in penile erection. PDE5 is also found in the prostate and bladder wall smooth muscles. PDE5 inhibition raises cGMP levels, causing smooth muscle relaxation in the prostate and bladder. Smooth muscle relaxation may enhance blood flow to the urinary system and widen the bladder neck opening, resulting in better voiding.

✔️ Interaction

Medications to Avoid While Taking Ciaton 5mg Tablet:

• Nitrates or Amyl Nitrites: These medications are used for relieving chest pain and include nitroglycerin and isosorbide dinitrate. Combining them with Tadalafil can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Other Medicines for Erectile Dysfunction: Medications like sildenafil, used to treat erectile dysfunction, should not be taken concurrently with Tadalafil, as it can increase the risk of side effects and complications.
• Alpha Blockers: Medications like prazosin, terazosin, and tamsulosin, used to treat high blood pressure or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), should be used with caution alongside Tadalafil due to the potential for a drop in blood pressure.
• Riociguat: Riociguat is used to treat increased pressure in the lungs. Combining it with Tadalafil can result in severe hypotension and should be avoided.
• Medicines for BPH: Medications like dutasteride and finasteride, used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), should be used cautiously alongside Tadalafil due to the potential for low blood pressure.
• Antifungal Medications: Ketoconazole and itraconazole, used to treat fungal infections, may interact with Tadalafil, potentially increasing Tadalafil levels in the blood. This combination should be used with caution.
• HIV Protease Inhibitors: Medications like ritonavir and lopinavir, used to treat HIV infection, can affect the metabolism of Tadalafil and should be used with caution.
• Medications for Seizures (Antiepileptics): Phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine, used to treat seizures, may interact with Tadalafil and should be used cautiously.
• Antibiotics: Rifampicin, erythromycin, and clarithromycin, used for bacterial infections, may interact with Tadalafil and should be used with caution.
