Viagra, 100 mg 2 pcs

VIAGRA is a drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It acts on the natural mechanisms of erection. It is used in men suffering from erectile dysfunction of various origins (vascular, nervous erectile dysfunction).

Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (FDE5).
The physiological mechanism of penile erection involves the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the cavernous body during sexual stimulation.

Nitric oxide activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, which leads to increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), relaxing the smooth muscles of the cavernous body and increasing blood flow in the penis.

Sildenafil has no direct relaxant effect on the isolated human cavernous body, but actively enhances the relaxant effect of NO on this tissue by inhibiting FDE5, which is responsible for the breakdown of cGMP in the cavernous body.

In sexual arousal, local release of NO under the influence of sildenafil leads to inhibition of FDEF5 and increases cGMP levels in the corpora cavernosa, resulting in relaxation of smooth muscles and increased blood flow in the corpora cavernosa.

The prerequisite for the effectiveness of sildenafil is sexual stimulation.
