Mechanism of Action

Sildenafil Citrate acts by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme. This enzyme restricts blood flow to penile tissue. This raises cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels, relaxing smooth muscle and increasing blood flow to the corpus cavernosum. This action takes place only when sexual stimulation is present. It does not heighten or stimulate sexual desire.
