Adcirca (active ingredient: tadalafil) is a prescription medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, also known as PAH.
PAH is a serious condition in which the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs become narrowed, stiff, or damaged. This makes it harder for blood to move through the lungs and causes pressure to build inside the pulmonary arteries.
As the pressure increases, the right side of the heart must work harder to pump blood. Over time, this extra strain may weaken the heart and cause symptoms to become worse.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is different from ordinary high blood pressure. It specifically affects the blood vessels in the lungs.
The condition may develop on its own or may be associated with other health problems, such as connective tissue disease, congenital heart disease, liver disease, or certain infections and medications.
Common symptoms may include:
Symptoms may be mild at first and become more noticeable as the condition progresses.
Adcirca belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, also known as PDE5 inhibitors.
The body produces a chemical called cyclic guanosine monophosphate, or cGMP, which helps blood vessels relax. An enzyme called PDE5 breaks down this chemical.
Adcirca blocks PDE5, allowing cGMP to remain active for longer. This helps relax and widen the blood vessels in the lungs.
As a result:
Adcirca is used to improve exercise capacity in people with PAH. Exercise capacity refers to how much physical activity a person can perform before symptoms such as shortness of breath or tiredness become limiting.
Treatment may help some people:
The response to treatment varies. Adcirca may improve symptoms, but it may not completely remove them.
The right side of the heart pumps blood into the lungs. When pressure in the lung arteries is high, the heart must work much harder.
By relaxing the pulmonary blood vessels, Adcirca reduces some of the resistance against which the heart must pump. This may help reduce strain on the right side of the heart.
However, Adcirca does not reverse all existing heart or lung damage. Regular monitoring remains important.
Tadalafil has a relatively long duration of action. For PAH, Adcirca is usually taken once daily rather than only when symptoms occur.
It must be taken regularly to maintain its effect on the blood vessels. It should not be used only before physical activity or when shortness of breath develops.
Do not skip doses or stop treatment without speaking with a healthcare provider.
Tadalafil is also used under other brand names to treat erectile dysfunction or urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.
Adcirca is specifically prescribed for pulmonary arterial hypertension. The dose and treatment instructions may be different from those used for erectile dysfunction.
Do not combine Adcirca with another tadalafil product or another PDE5 inhibitor unless a healthcare provider specifically directs you to do so.
A healthcare provider will determine whether Adcirca is appropriate based on factors such as:
Adcirca may be used alone or together with other medications for pulmonary arterial hypertension.
A healthcare provider may monitor:
Tests may include walking assessments, blood tests, heart imaging, or other evaluations of pulmonary pressure and heart function.
Adcirca helps manage PAH but does not cure the condition. Many people require long-term treatment and regular follow-up with a healthcare provider who specialises in heart or lung disease.
Treatment may also include other PAH medications, oxygen therapy, diuretics, supervised exercise, and measures to manage swelling or reduce strain on the heart.
Adcirca can lower blood pressure and may cause headache, flushing, indigestion, muscle pain, back pain, or dizziness.
It must not be taken with nitrate medications because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Seek immediate medical care if you develop severe chest pain, fainting, sudden vision or hearing changes, severe shortness of breath, or an erection lasting longer than four hours.
Continue taking Adcirca exactly as prescribed and contact your healthcare provider if symptoms become worse or the medication does not appear to be helping.
Take Adcirca exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is taken by mouth once daily and may be taken with or without food.
Take the medication at approximately the same time every day. This helps maintain a consistent amount of tadalafil in your body.
Swallow the tablets with water. Do not change your dose or stop taking Adcirca without speaking with your healthcare provider. Stopping treatment may cause your pulmonary arterial hypertension symptoms to worsen.
The usual adult dose for pulmonary arterial hypertension is 40 mg once daily.
This is commonly taken as two 20 mg tablets at the same time. Take both tablets together as one complete daily dose.
Do not divide the 40 mg dose into separate doses during the day.
Kidney function can affect how quickly tadalafil is removed from the body.
For people with mild or moderate kidney impairment, a healthcare provider may start treatment at 20 mg once daily. The dose may later be increased to 40 mg once daily based on how well the medication is tolerated.
Adcirca is generally not recommended for people with severe kidney impairment, including those with a creatinine clearance below 30 mL/min or those receiving dialysis.
The correct dose may depend on:
Do not take another tadalafil product or another phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor unless your healthcare provider specifically directs you to do so.
Take a missed dose as soon as you remember. However, skip it if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.
Continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra tablets to replace a missed dose.
Taking more Adcirca than prescribed may cause severe headache, dizziness, fainting, low blood pressure, vision changes, or a prolonged erection.
Contact a healthcare provider, poison control centre, or emergency department immediately if you take too much Adcirca. Do not wait for symptoms to appear.
Adcirca (Tadalafil) is available in the following forms and strength:
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
There is limited information about the use of Adcirca during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider will consider the benefits of controlling pulmonary arterial hypertension and the possible risks before recommending treatment.
Do not start or stop Adcirca without medical guidance.
Adcirca may cause an allergic reaction in some people.
Stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical care if you develop:
Tadalafil may rarely cause priapism, which is a painful or prolonged erection lasting more than four hours. Without prompt treatment, priapism can permanently damage the penis.
The risk may be higher in people with certain conditions, including:
Seek emergency medical care if an erection lasts longer than four hours.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver disease.
These conditions can affect how quickly tadalafil is removed from the body. You may require a lower starting dose, closer monitoring, or a different treatment.
Adcirca is generally not recommended for people with severe kidney or liver impairment.
Do not take Adcirca with nitrate medications. This combination can cause a sudden and dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Nitrates may be used to treat chest pain and include medications such as nitroglycerin and isosorbide.
Tell emergency healthcare professionals when you last took Adcirca if you require treatment for chest pain.
Do not combine Adcirca with recreational drugs called “poppers,” including amyl nitrite or butyl nitrite.
These substances act similarly to nitrates and can cause dangerously low blood pressure when combined with tadalafil.
Adcirca may interact with alpha-blockers and other medications that lower blood pressure. Combining these medicines may increase dizziness, fainting, or dangerously low blood pressure.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, nonprescription products, vitamins, and supplements you use.
Rarely, tadalafil has been associated with a sudden decrease or loss of vision in one or both eyes.
Stop taking Adcirca and seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden blurred vision, reduced vision, or vision loss.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have previously experienced serious vision loss or have risk factors for eye circulation problems.
Adcirca may rarely cause a sudden decrease or loss of hearing. This may occur with ringing in the ears or dizziness.
Stop taking the medication and seek prompt medical attention if you develop sudden hearing loss or a major change in hearing.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart disease, very low blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat, chest pain, or a history of heart attack or stroke.
Adcirca is used to treat a serious heart and lung condition, so having cardiovascular disease does not automatically mean that the medication cannot be used. However, your healthcare provider must assess whether it is safe based on your blood pressure, heart function, symptoms, and other treatments.
Seek immediate medical care for severe chest pain, fainting, sudden weakness, difficulty speaking, or worsening shortness of breath.
Adcirca can interact with certain medications. Some combinations may cause dangerously low blood pressure or increase the risk of other serious side effects. Do not take Adcirca with nitrate medications, such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide. It should also not be combined with recreational “poppers” containing amyl nitrite or butyl nitrite. Use caution with alpha-blockers, blood pressure medications, certain antifungal medicines, some antibiotics, HIV medications, and other treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, nonprescription products, vitamins, herbal products, and supplements you use. Do not start or stop another medication without medical advice.
No. Adcirca is only available with a prescription. A healthcare provider must assess your condition, medical history, and current medications before prescribing it. Regular follow-up may also be needed to check how well the treatment is working.
Adcirca begins affecting the blood vessels after you take it, but improvements in breathing or exercise capacity may develop gradually. It may take several weeks of regular treatment to notice the full benefit. Continue taking Adcirca every day as prescribed, even if you do not notice an immediate change. Attend all follow-up appointments so your healthcare provider can assess your symptoms, exercise capacity, blood pressure, and response to treatment.
Store Adcirca at room temperature in a dry place away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep the tablets in their original container and out of the reach of children and pets. Do not store the medication in a bathroom or another humid area. Do not use tablets that are damaged, expired, or stored incorrectly.
