How Does It Work?

Tadalafil works by selectively inhibiting the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme responsible for the metabolism of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle. The inhibition led to an increase in cGMP levels, causing smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow into the corpus cavernosum of the penis during sexual stimulation, thereby producing an erection. It also relaxes the smooth muscle in the pulmonary vascular bed, causing vasodilation and reduced pulmonary vascular resistance.
