Uses of Forlast Tablet
Benefits of Forlast Tablet
In Treatment of Erectile dysfunction
Forlast 5mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis and produce an erection when sexually aroused. This medicine will only help get an erection if you are sexually stimulated. It is very effective for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and needs to be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. In addition to treating erectile dysfunction, it improves sexual performance and satisfaction. However, do not take this medicine if you also take medicines called nitrates (often given for chest pain).
In Treatment of Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Forlast 5mg Tablet, which is commonly used for treating erectile dysfunction, is also beneficial in managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps by relaxing the smooth muscles in the bladder and prostate, which reduces urinary symptoms associated with BPH such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty starting urination. By improving blood flow to the prostate and bladder, tadalafil can ease the pressure on the urethra, facilitating better urinary flow. This alleviates the discomfort and inconvenience caused by BPH and enhances the quality of life for affected individuals.

How Forlast Tablet works
