Medicine Description viagra 100mg
Viagra 100mg Tablets is a medication that functions as a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). By inhibiting this enzyme, sildenafil increases the levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle cells of the corpus cavernosum, a spongy tissue within the penis. Elevated cGMP levels lead to relaxation of the blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to the penis, which is essential for achieving and sustaining an erection in response to sexual stimulation. This mechanism supports a natural erectile response and is contingent upon sexual arousal for efficacy.
