How Does It Work?

Eriacta 100 mg tablets contain Sildenafil citrate as its active ingredient, which obstructs the action of the PDE5 enzyme and increases the production and activity of nitric oxide in the penile tissue. When sexually aroused, nitric oxide gets released to activate the granulated enzyme cyclase, leading to the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) elevation—increased cGMP influences the smooth muscles of the penis to relax and promote the flow of blood into the penis to result in a firm penile erection. Typically, the PDE5 enzyme inhibits the activity of cGMP, but Sildenafil, present in the Eriacta 100 mg stops the action of the PDE5 enzyme and results in sustained erection of the penis.
In the case of pulmonary arterial hypertension, Eriacta 100 mg acts on the pulmonary arteries and helps dilate them to lower the blood pressure.
