Sildenafil is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction in men and pulmonary arterial hypertension. It works by improving blood flow, which helps achieve and maintain an erection or improves exercise capacity in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
How does Sildenafil work?+
Sildenafil works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which increases levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This leads to the relaxation of smooth muscle in blood vessels, promoting improved blood flow, particularly in the corpus cavernosum and pulmonary vasculature.
