How does it Work?
Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Tadaga. It belongs to a group of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
During sexual arousal, nitric oxide (NO) is released within the penis. Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels, increasing blood flow. It results in an erection of the penis. However, an enzyme called PDE5 interferes with this process. It may cause some men to lose their erections too quickly. Tadalafil, being a PDE5 inhibitor, blocks this action.
When a person is sexually excited, tadalafil helps boost the action of nitric oxide. This allows blood to flow freely to the erectile tissue. This helps men get an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
However, sexual arousal is still needed for tadalafil to work. The medicine cannot activate an erection on its own. It only helps the chain of reactions that take place during arousal.
Not using it as instructed or having the wrong dosage can cause tadalafil not to work.
