Description

Sildigra, a popular brand of sildenafil citrate is a drug used mainly for the treatment of the erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction (ED) commonly known as impotence, a sexual disability in which a man is unable of obtaining or holding an erection during sexual intercourse. Because of the purpose of this drug, this has been studied with men affected by erectile dysfunction. According to the studies, Sildigra has been proven to benefit men with ED participate in sexual activity.

Mechanism Of Action

The physiologic mechanism of erection of the penis involves release of nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum during sexual stimulation. NO then activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, which results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), producing smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum and allowing inflow of blood.

Sildenafil enhances the effect of NO by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for degradation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. When sexual stimulation causes local release of NO, inhibition of PDE5 by sildenafil causes increased levels of cGMP in the

corpus cavernosum, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation and inflow of blood to the corpus cavernosum. Sildenafil at recommended doses has no effect in the absence of sexual stimulation.

How to take the medicine

However, the medication may be taken any time from 4 hours to half an hour before sexual activity.

Sildenafil may be taken with or without food, but taking it with a high-fat meal may increase the time before the medication starts working.
