About Medications

Fildena 150 mg is a generic urological agent used primarily in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and other sexual disorders in men.

About drug salt

Sildenafil citrate is commonly referred to as the "blue pill" and is used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. It is the main constituent of the famous drug Viagra. It is an FDA-approved molecule that is most commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. In ED, men cannot achieve a sustained penile erection because blood flow to this area is restricted due to some physical or psychological damage. Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) blocker that basically regulates blood flow to different parts of the body. It relaxes the blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow and helps achieve a normal penile erection in men. It works well when the cause of erectile dysfunction is physical or psychological.

Sildenafil is also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Medical use of the drug

Fildena 150mg is a prescription drug and is used in the following conditions:

• Erectile dysfunction (inability to achieve an erectile penis during intercourse)
• In case of impotence

Work of Drug

Fildena (viagra) 150mg contains Sildenafil Citrate which is a PDE5 inhibitor; that prevents the breakdown of cGMP, which is responsible for the constriction of smooth muscles. As a result, the blood vessels are in a relaxed state. The muscles are also in a relaxed state. This allows more blood to enter the penis and therefore causes an erection. To achieve a lasting erection, proper sexual stimulation is necessary before intercourse. This is further facilitated by the nitric oxide produced in the penile region.
