How tadalafil works

Arterial elasticity degrades with age.
Tadalafil can help preserve it.

Tadalafil works on an enzyme in your vascular system to keep blood vessels open. The same action that supports erection health may also support vascular health, regardless of gender.

  1. 1 Inhibits PDE5

    Tadalafil inhibits PDE5, the enzyme that breaks down cGMP, the chemical signal that keeps blood vessels relaxed.

  2. 2 Preserves cGMP

    cGMP stays active longer. Blood vessels stay relaxed, which helps keep circulation running smoothly.

  3. 3 Vascular support

    This vasodilation effect has been shown to help support sexual function and may also support cardiovascular and endothelial health.

The system is broken.

How decades of research left women behind.

Women barred from drug trials.

Until 1993, women were barred from early drug trials in the U.S. By the time that changed, the entire pipeline was already built around male bodies. Research on ED medication was developed within a male-focused system.

Male demand funded male research.

ED medications became a blockbuster. Sex sells. That revenue paid for more trials. More trials unlocked more approvals. More approvals paid for more trials.

Then the window closed.

Once the patents expired, no company would spend $50–100M proving a medicine works in women when any competitor could sell the same generic. Without financial incentives, on-label approval for women may never come.

The research gap

50:1

Men in trials Women in trials

50,620 men have received PDE5 inhibitors in clinical trials compared to fewer than 1,000 women. But the evidence points to benefits regardless of gender.

SSRI-related arousal

PDE5 inhibitors show potential benefits for arousal difficulties in women experiencing antidepressant-associated arousal dysfunction.

A meta-analysis pooling six studies and 8.3 million participants found PDE5 inhibitor use was associated with reduced Alzheimer's risk.

Anti-inflammatory pathways

Research showed tadalafil normalized elevated pro-inflammatory markers in patients with chronic inflammation, suggesting systemic anti-inflammatory effects.

Common questions

Questions, answered

What is tadalafil?

Tadalafil (generic for Cialis®) is an FDA-approved PDE5 inhibitor prescribed for erectile dysfunction and benign
prostatic hyperplasia. Some physicians also prescribe it off-label at low daily doses within longevity protocols.

How do you take tadalafil?

Tadalafil is a daily tablet, taken with or without food. It can be prescribed as-needed or daily. Your doctor
determines the dosage based on your needs and medical history.

What are the side effects of tadalafil?

The most frequently reported side effects are headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and back pain. These are
typically mild and tend to resolve as your body adjusts. Tell your doctor if side effects persist or feel disruptive.

Who shouldn't take tadalafil?

Tadalafil should not be taken with nitrate medications (used for chest pain or heart conditions), because the
combination can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure. It is also not recommended for people with severe
heart disease, recent heart attack or stroke, or severe liver or kidney problems. Your doctor will review your full
medication list and health history before prescribing.
