I was prescribed tadalafil 5 mg for BPH but am afraid to take it because of the possibility of vision loss or blindness. I would rather suffer with BPH than go blind. Should I just go ahead and take it and hope I can tolerate it without vision loss?
Tadalafil 5mg - is it safe to take?

5 mg is a low dose. I have been taking it daily for 5 years with no vision affect. If you have no current vision issues, I wouldn't be concerned with vision loss.

It is a low dose and should be perfectly safe if prescribed by your doctor and you have no drug contraindications with your other meds. I take 5 mg daily, and sometimes 20 mg before sexual activity for ED. I have never had any adverse effects.
