Medicine Description erec 100 mg
erec 100 mg tablets is a medication that contains sildenafil, a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. Upon sexual stimulation, nitric oxide is released in the corpus cavernosum, leading to an increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Sildenafil inhibits the breakdown of cGMP by PDE5, allowing levels of cGMP to rise. This results in relaxation of the smooth muscle and dilation of the blood vessels in the penis, facilitating increased blood flow and an erection in response to sexual arousal.
