| To evaluate the effects of a single dose of oral 5-mg tadalafil on macular microcirculation as measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiography (OCTA) in healthy volunteers. Twenty-two healthy, middle-aged, sexually active, and male health care worker volunteers were included in this prospective study. All volunteers have a history of occasionally using off-label 5 mg tadalafil to enhance sexual performance. Superficial and deep capillary plexus vascular densities, foveal avascular zone parameters, outer retina, and choriocapillaris flow areas were performed using the OCTA, and subfoveal-choroidal thickness (CT) was performed by using the OCT. Measurements were performed preintake, 30 min, 1, 4, 24 h, 2, 3, 4, and 7 days after the intake of tadalafil off-label. Twenty-two eyes of 22 male volunteers were included in the study. The mean age was 37.16 ± 4.52 years. At 30 min, 1 h, and 4 h after intake, a statistically significant increase was observed in the choriocapillaris flow area and CT compared with preintake (, = 0.034 and < 0.001, respectively). This study showed that a single dose of oral 5-mg tadalafil causes an increase in choriocapillaris flow and CT. To evaluate the effects of tadalafil on the retina and choroid, an OCTA assessment may be helpful. |
