Brazil's Tadalafil Surge: A Public Health Warning

Brazil's Tadalafil Surge: A Warning from Experts In 2024, Brazil saw a record-breaking 64 million units of tadalafil sold, raising concerns among health professionals. This surge in sales, particularly among young men without medical need, has prompted warnings about the potential for psychological dependence. Dr. Luiz Otávio Torres of the Brazilian Society of Urology (SBU) explains, "The user begins to believe that only with the pill will he be able to maintain sexual performance." This contrasts sharply with stricter regulations in countries like the United States and those in Europe. The readily available nature of the drug in Brazil is a key factor in this issue. The video serves as a crucial public health reminder of the importance of medical consultation before medication use. Further research into the long-term effects of this widespread self-medication is needed.
