What is Modula Tablet and How Does It Work?
Modula Tablet contains tadalafil, a PDE5 inhibitor. It works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which increases cGMP levels in smooth muscle cells. This leads to muscle relaxation and vasodilation, increasing blood flow. This mechanism is selective for areas like the penis, prostate, and lungs.
The Primary Uses of Modula Tablet
Modula Tablet is prescribed for adult men to treat three main conditions.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Modula Tablet helps men with ED achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity by increasing blood flow to the penis. It requires sexual stimulation to be effective.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
For BPH, Modula Tablet relaxes the smooth muscles of the bladder and prostate, reducing pressure on the urethra and improving urinary symptoms.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
Modula Tablet treats PAH by relaxing blood vessels in the lungs, lowering blood pressure, and improving blood flow, which can enhance exercise capacity.
Administration
How Modula Tablet is administered depends on the condition being treated. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions for appropriate usage.
- For Erectile Dysfunction: Modula Tablet can be taken as needed before sexual activity or as a once-daily treatment. The effects of an as-needed dose can last for an extended period.
- For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: It is typically taken once daily.
- For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: It is usually taken once daily.

| Dosing Schedule | As-needed or once daily | Once daily | Once daily |
| Required Stimulus | Sexual arousal is needed for effect | No external stimulus required | No external stimulus required |
| Primary Outcome | Achieve/maintain erection | Improved urinary flow | Reduced lung blood pressure |
