Medicine Description vardapex 10mg
Vardapex 10mg Tablets is a medication that belongs to the class of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It functions by blocking the action of the PDE5 enzyme, which leads to the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. By inhibiting this enzyme, Vardapex enhances the effect of nitric oxide, which is released during sexual stimulation. The increased levels of cGMP promote relaxation of the smooth muscle cells, resulting in improved blood flow to the penis. This mechanism not only facilitates the achievement of an erection when sexual arousal occurs but also contributes to maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
