Entadfi

Finasteride/Tadalafil

What is Entadfi used for?

This combination medication contains 2 drugs: finasteride and tadalafil. It is used to treat signs and symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). This medication may help shrink an enlarged prostate and lessen symptoms of BPH such as difficulty starting urination, weak stream, feeling that the bladder is not completely emptied, and frequent urge to urinate (including at night). Finasteride works by decreasing the amount of a natural body hormone (DHT) that causes growth of the prostate. Tadalafil is thought to work by relaxing muscles in the prostate and bladder. This medication is not approved for prevention of prostate cancer. It may increase the risk of developing serious prostate cancer. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks. Women and children should not use this medication.
