Avialis contains the active substance tadalafil which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Avialis 5 mg is used to treat adult men with: - erectile dysfunction. This is when a man cannot get, or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Avialis has been shown to significantly improve the ability of obtaining a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Following sexual stimulation Avialis works by helping the blood vessels in your penis to relax, allowing the flow of blood into your penis. The result of this is improved erectile function. Avialis will not help you if you do not have erectile dysfunction. It is important to note that Avialis for the treatment of erectile dysfunction does not work if there is no sexual stimulation. You and your partner will need to engage in foreplay, just as you would if you were not taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction. - urinary symptoms associated with a common condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia.This is when the prostate gland gets bigger with age. Symptoms include difficulty in starting to pass water, a feeling of not completely emptying the bladder and a more frequent need to pass water even at night. Avialis improves blood flow to, and relaxes the muscles of, the prostate and bladder which may reduce symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Avialis has been shown to improve these urinary symptoms as early as 1-2 weeks after starting treatment. How to use Avialis tablets are for oral use in men only. Swallow the tablet whole with some water. The tablets can be taken with or without food. Drinking alcohol may temporarily lower your blood pressure. If you have taken or are planning to take Avialis, avoid excessive drinking (blood alcohol level of 0.08% or greater), since this may increase the risk of dizziness when standing up. For the treatment of erectile dysfunction The recommended dose is one 5 mg tablet taken once a day at approximately the same time of the day. Your doctor may adjust the dose to 2.5 mg based on your response to Avialis. This will be given as a 2.5mg tablet. Do not take Avialis more than once a day. When taken once a day Avialis allows you to obtain an erection, when sexually stimulated, at any time point during the 24 hours of the day. Once a day dosing of Avialis may be useful to men who anticipate having sexual activity two or more times per week. It is important to note that Avialis does not work if there is no sexual stimulation. You and your partner will need to engage in foreplay, just as you would if you were not taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction.
