hypromellose;
titanium dioxide (U171);
lactose;
triacetin;
indigo carmine aluminum lake (E132).

Cialis (tadalafil) is a ED drug developed by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and YCOS corporation.

Mechanism of action of this drug s is the same and provided by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5), which metabolizes 3′, 5′ – cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP), responsible for penis erection. Men with ED have GMP level insufficient to provide a full erection. In order to maintain necessary GMP level common method was used, which consists in inhibition of the enzyme that resolves GMP.
