Mechanism Insights (How It Works)
- PDE5 Inhibition
Tadalafil selectively inhibits the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme, which is responsible for the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) within erectile tissue. - Enhanced Blood Flow
By maintaining higher cGMP levels, the medication promotes relaxation of smooth muscle in blood vessel walls, allowing increased blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. - Support of Erectile Function
Improved circulation facilitates the ability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity when sexual arousal is present.
