Tadalafil Cipla 20mg works by inhibiting a specific enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). This enzyme breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a crucial molecule involved in the relaxation of smooth muscle.
By blocking PDE5, Tadalafil increases cGMP levels. Elevated cGMP promotes smooth muscle relaxation in the blood vessels of the penis, leading to increased blood flow.
This increased blood flow is necessary for achieving and maintaining an erection. The effect is targeted; it doesn’t affect blood flow throughout the entire body.
It’s important to understand that Tadalafil requires sexual stimulation to be effective. It doesn’t directly cause an erection; rather, it enhances the body’s natural response to sexual stimulation.
| 1 | Sexual stimulation |
| 2 | Increased nitric oxide (NO) release |
| 3 | Increased cGMP levels |
| 4 | Relaxation of penile smooth muscle |
| 5 | Increased blood flow to the penis |
| 6 | Erection |
The duration of Tadalafil’s effect varies, but generally lasts longer than similar medications. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency of use.
