Tadalafil relaxes muscles of the blood vessels and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body.

Tadalafil under the name of Cialis is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) and symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate). Another brand of tadalafil is Adcirca, which is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and improve exercise capacity in men and women.

Cialis (tadalafil) is a medication commonly used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men.  Tadalafil has also been shown to help with symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH) in men with mild-to-moderate symptoms.

Cialis 5 mg daily is a beneficial medication for men with mild to moderate symptoms of BPH.  Tadalafil (Cialis) 5 mg can be taken every morning or every evening.  Studies show that Cialis does not affect the dynamics of urine flow but appears to affect sensation.  The exact mechanism of its effect on the urinary tract is not well understood.  Unlike medications such as Proscar and Avodart, Cialis does not shrink the prostate and does not decrease the rate of growth of the prostate gland. 

Over time, most men taking Cialis for BPH will experience worsening of urinary symptoms, at which point other medications or minimally invasive surgical treatment options will need to be considered.

Men who have mild symptoms are usually very satisfied with Cialis daily as it also helps with getting and keeping erections.  Some men experience side effects of Cialis daily.  For them, other options for treatment of BPH include Urolift and Flomax.

For men with mild to moderate symptoms of enlarged prostate and ED (erectile dysfunction), Cialis is an attractive option of one pill addressing two problems.
