CIALIS® (tadalafil): Increased Risk of Sudden Hearing Loss With Once Daily Use
There is no evidence to suggest once-a-day dosing of tadalafil increases the risk of sudden hearing loss compared with as-needed use of a PDE5 inhibitor.
Sudden hearing loss has been reported in men taking PDE5 inhibitors, including tadalafil. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the use of PDE5 inhibitors or to other factors.1
We have no evidence to suggest that once-a-day dosing of tadalafil increases the risk of sudden hearing loss compared with as-needed use of a PDE5 inhibitor.
Physicians should advise patients to stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including tadalafil, and seek prompt medical attention in the event of sudden decrease or loss of hearing.1
