Fildena 100 mg

How Fildena 100mg Works

• Fildena 100mg contains sildenafil citrate salt. It belongs to the class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase type 5 or PDE 5 inhibitors. It blocks the action of the enzyme PDE5 (which inhibits blood flow). This encourages blood circulation. 
• When a person is sexually aroused, nitric oxide (NO) is released into the penis. NO stimulates cGMP production. cGMP relaxes smooth muscles, including vascular smooth muscles. This leads to a process called vasodilation. This is vital in achieving a hard erection. 
• However, enzyme PDE5 breaks down cGMP, thereby interfering with this process. As a result, the erections are weak and/or short lasting.
• Sildenafil (the ED medication) blocks the action of PDE5 and raises cGMP level. This encourages blood flow to the spongy muscle tissue in the penis. As a result, the penis becomes hard and erect, suitable for sexual intercourse.  
• Know that Fildena 100mg alone can’t give you an erection. You’ll need sexual arousal/sexual stimulation for the erection to occur. The medication only supports the process.
