Mechanism of action

Tadalafil is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5. During sexual stimulation, this inhibition increases levels of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, promoting smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow to the erectile tissue.
