Since tadalafil was introduced into the treatment of ED in October, 2002, more and more ED patients have chosen tadalafil due to its efficacy and safety. The action mechanism, pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety of tadalafil have been reported in many basic and clinical research documents. This review is to address the safety of tadalafil in treating ED, and provide further guidance for clinicians' choice and safer use of the drug.
