Medicine Description vigorex 50mg
Vigorex 50 mg 10 tablets is a medication primarily utilized to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Its active ingredient, sildenafil, functions by selectively inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). By blocking this enzyme, sildenafil prevents the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a molecule that facilitates the relaxation of smooth muscle and dilation of blood vessels in the penis during sexual arousal. This results in increased blood flow to the penile area, enabling a stronger and sustained erection. The therapeutic action is contingent upon sexual stimulation, as the release of nitric oxide stimulates cGMP production, thus making the inhibition of PDE5 critical for the desired effect.
