Tastylia 5 mg Tablet

Tastylia 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains tadalafil 5 mg in each tablet. Tadalafil belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It is used for erectile dysfunction (ED) and, in some patients, lower urinary tract symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Because it is a 5 mg tablet, it is a lower-strength option that may be chosen for daily use when a clinician wants a gentler, steady-effect approach.

How it works: Tadalafil in Tastylia 5 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis when sexual stimulation occurs. In the prostate and bladder area, it can also help relax smooth muscle, which may improve urinary symptoms in men with BPH.

Tastylia 5 mg Tablet is a lower-dose tadalafil option compared with Tastylia 10 mg Tablet, Tastylia 40 mg Tablet, and Tastylia 60 mg Tablet, and it is also higher than Tastylia 2.5 mg Tablet. Doctors may choose Tastylia 5 mg Tablet for people who need ongoing, once-daily treatment rather than a larger as-needed dose. It is not intended for self-adjusting into a higher dose, and it should only be used the way your clinician prescribes.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms
• Daily tadalafil treatment when prescribed
• Improving ability to get and keep an erection with sexual stimulation

• Swallow Tastylia 5 mg Tablet with water as directed by your doctor.
• Do not split, crush, or chew unless your pharmacist or prescriber specifically says it is okay.
• If prescribed for daily use, take it at about the same time every day.
• Food usually does not stop tadalafil from working, so it may be taken with or without meals.
• Do not take extra tablets to try to make it work faster.
• Follow your clinician’s instructions carefully, especially if you also take medicine for prostate or blood pressure issues.

Each Tastylia 5 mg Tablet provides 5 mg of tadalafil. This strength is commonly used once daily when a doctor prescribes daily treatment; it is not a self-selected dose, and your prescriber decides whether it is appropriate for you. Do not take more than one 5 mg tablet in a day unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
