Information
NHS organisations should take into account the reasons why the manufacturer did not make an evidence submission when considering whether or not to recommend local use of tadalafil for the treatment of symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. If, after doing this, organisations still wish to consider tadalafil for the treatment of symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, they should follow the advice set out in Good practice guidance on managing the introduction of new healthcare interventions and links to NICE technology appraisal guidance which outlines the approach that should be adopted in circumstances where NICE guidance is unavailable.
NICE will review the position at any point if the manufacturer indicates that it wishes to make a full submission.
