Back pain and/or myalgia (the two may overlap) are seen with all PDE5 inhibitors, but Supplement Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 141–157, March 2005 151 are reported more frequently with tadalafil. Generally, about 5% of men taking tadalafil will experience back pain, which may occur 12 to 24 hours after dose administration, and typically resolves within 48 hours [21,22]. For the men who are troubled by this symptom, an over the counter analgesic such as acetaminophen can be taken for relief. Only about 0.5% of men taking tadalafil (less than 1 in 100) found the back pain sufficiently problematic that drug discontinuation occurred. Most importantly, prospective evaluation of patients experiencing back pain or myalgia did not reveal any evidence of an inflammation, rhabdomyolysis, or renal abnormality.
