About Alfil 5mg Tablet

TADALAFIL belongs to the group of medicines called impotent agents primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Erectile dysfunction is the inability to keep a hard and erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also called as prostate enlargement is the non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland.

Thereby, it helps to treat erectile dysfunction and symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
