Ufrim 5mg Tablet contains tadalafil 5mg, a phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It is commonly prescribed for erectile dysfunction (ED) and may also be used to relieve urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Tadalafil works by increasing blood flow to certain tissues. In erectile dysfunction, it helps achieve and maintain an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. In BPH, it helps relax smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder, which may improve urinary symptoms.
