Vidalista 60 mg

How Vidalista 60 mg Works

Vidalista 60 mg contains tadalafil, which belongs to the PDE5 inhibitors group of medicines. 

During sexual arousal, nitric oxide gets released inside the smooth muscle tissue of the penis. The nitric oxide then stimulates the production of cGMP. It’s a substance that controls the dilation & contraction of the blood vessels. The increased levels of the cGMP result in a firm erection. 

However, due to the action of the enzyme PDE 5, the erection ends quickly. Tadalafil, present in Vidalista 60, blocks the action of PDE5 and prevents cGMP breakdown. This allows blood to flow easily to the penis. As more and more blood flows to the penis, the person has a strong, hard erection. Tadalafil benefits are not limited to ED, it is also used for other conditions.
