Mechanism of action
Sildenafil belongs to a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. It works by preventing the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 from breaking down cGMP, a chemical that promotes smooth muscle relaxation in the blood vessels of the genital area, thereby enhancing blood flow and facilitating an erection.
