Tastylia 20 mg

How Tastylia 20mg Works

Reduced blood flow is one cause of erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil, present in Tastylia, works to improve blood circulation. It increases blood flow to the penis by relaxing muscles and blood vessels.

• During sexual arousal, certain chemical changes cause an erection. Your body releases nitric oxide (NO) to relax the muscles in the penis.
• NO enables the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). 
• cGMP controls blood flow by relaxing and contracting the blood-carrying vessels. Increased blood flow causes a hard erection of the penis.
• Sometimes, an enzyme phosphodiesterase five blocks this action too quickly. 
• As a result, the erection ends very soon or gets soft/weak during sex. It results in a lack of satisfaction in sexual intercourse. 
• Tadalafil slows down the action of the PDE 5 enzyme. Thereby helping men get and keep an erection hard enough for intercourse.
