How does Vidalista 40 mg work

Vidalista 40 mg contains Tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase type (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls and increasing the blood flow to the penis. It blocks the action of PDE5 and prevents cGMP breakdown. cGMP is responsible for the contraction and dilation of blood vessels. Tadalafil present in Vidalista 40 mg allows cGMP to be adequately produced so that blood can flow easily to the penis. Through increased blood flow to the penis, pressure is created. This leads to an erection. Sexual stimulation is needed for the medication to work.

Uses

Vidalista 40 mg is used for the treatment of the following conditions:

1. Erectile dysfunction (ED) – a condition that makes it difficult to achieve or sustain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
2. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – age-associated prostate gland enlargement that causes painful and frequent urination.
3. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a condition that leads to the contraction of blood vessels, causing the heart to pump blood harder, increasing blood pressure levels.

Recommended Dosage

Vidalista 40 mg tablet is recommended to be taken once per day. It can be taken with or without food. Take the tablet approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before any sexual activity or as advised by the doctor. A person needs to be sexually stimulated for this medicine to work properly. Do take it more than once in 24 hours.

Missed Dose

This medicine is taken as and when needed. Therefore, the chances of missing a dose are less.
