How does erection treatment work?
Orally taken ED tablets belong to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
PDE5 is an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of cGMP, a cyclic nucleotide that regulates blood flow to the penis. By preventing PDE5 from degrading cGMP, the increased amount of cGMP creates a vasodilator effect, widening the blood vessels and relaxing the muscles around the penis. This helps to increase blood flow to the penis, thereby helping men achieve or maintain an erection.
How long does it take for ED treatments to work?
ED treatments usually to take effect within an hour after ingestion and last for up to four hours (although in most cases it lasts around two hours). Some types of ED medication work become active in the body slightly faster than others, it's important to choose an ED treatment that works well for you.
