Tadalafil (Cialis) Pharmacology Podcast

On this episode, I discuss tadalafil pharmacology, adverse effects, pharmacokinetics, and drug interactions. Tadalafil has a significantly longer half-life than sildenafil. I discuss how this is going to impact a patient that may need a nitrate. PDE-5 inhibitors like tadalafil are most commonly used for erectile dysfunction but I talk about other unique indications in the podcast. Daily use or as-needed use of tadalafil are both acceptable options but there are some quirks you need to know with these two methods of use.
