Product introduction

ED Fort 5 Tablet is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It helps in improving blood flow to the penile region, thereby facilitating and sustaining an erection. It is also effective in treating symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

ED Fort 5 Tablet can be taken with or without food. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Do not take more than the recommended dosage. The medicine will only help you to get an erection if you are sexually stimulated. Take it about 30 minutes to one hour before you plan to have sex. Only take it if you need it and it has been prescribed to you by a doctor.


Common side effects of this medicine include headache, dizziness, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, muscle and back pain, and vision disturbances. Let your doctor know if any of these side effects do not go away on their own or bother you. They may be able to suggest ways to reduce or treat the side effects.


Do not use ED Fort 5 Tablet if you are allergic to any of the components of this medicine. Consult a doctor before using if you have a history of heart problems, high or low blood pressure, liver or kidney issues, or if you are taking any other medications. Avoid consumption of alcohol as it may increase certain side effects. Do not take ED Fort 5 Tablet with other erectile dysfunction medications without consulting your doctor. This medicine is not intended for use by women or individuals under the age of 18 years.


Benefits of ED Fort Tablet

In Treatment of Erectile dysfunction

ED Fort 5 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

ED Fort 5 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.

Side effects of ED Fort Tablet

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

  • Indigestion

How to use ED Fort Tablet

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. ED Fort 5 Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How ED Fort Tablet works

Tadalafil belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penile region, which increases blood flow upon sexual stimulation, thus facilitating an erection. In cases of BPH, it relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder.
