Mechanism of action
Vardenafil is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). By inhibiting PDE5, it increases cGMP levels in the corpus cavernosum, facilitating smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow during sexual stimulation.
