Xtafil 5 mg Tablet

Xtafil 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains tadalafil 5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Xtafil 5 mg Tablet is used for erectile dysfunction and may also be prescribed for urinary symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is the 5 mg tablet strength from Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and is taken by mouth as a standard tablet.

How it works: Tadalafil in Xtafil 5 mg Tablet helps relax smooth muscles and widen blood vessels, which can improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It can also relax muscles in the prostate and bladder area, which may help urinary symptoms from BPH.

Xtafil 5 mg Tablet is a lower daily-dose strength of tadalafil, not the higher on-demand strengths used for some other treatment plans. This 5 mg tablet may suit people who need a once-daily option or who have been assessed by a doctor for a gentler, steady approach rather than a larger single dose. A clinician may choose Xtafil 5 mg Tablet to balance effectiveness with a lower tablet strength.
