Description

How Sildenafil Works
Sildenafil belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by blocking the enzyme PDE5, which leads to increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Elevated cGMP levels relax the blood vessels in the penis, enhancing blood flow and facilitating an erection in response to sexual arousal.
