Subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with tadalafil by Sheikh-Taha, Marwan

“…Inhibition of the PDE5 isoenzyme, which is responsible for degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate in the corpus cavernosum, will ultimately enhance the effect of nitric oxide and, consequently, the relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle in the corpus cavernosum and penile erection after sexual stimulation. Tadalafil is the longest-acting PDE5 inhibitor, with an elimination half-life of 17.5 hours and up to 36 hours’ duration of effect. …”
