Medicine Description pramil 50mg
Pramil 50mg Tablets is a medication that contains sildenafil as its active ingredient. It functions as a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. By blocking the PDE5 enzyme, sildenafil enhances the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical the body produces that relaxes the muscles in the penis. This relaxation allows increased blood flow, which is essential for achieving and sustaining an erection during sexual activity. Furthermore, sildenafil's action on PDE5 also facilitates vasodilation in the pulmonary vasculature, thereby lowering elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. This dual mechanism makes sildenafil effective in managing both erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
