How does Fildena 50 mg work?

Sildenafil in Fildena 50 mg belongs to the Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor group.

Sildenafil Citrate prevents the body's PDE-5 from degrading cGMP (Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate) levels.

The cGMP aids in the relaxation of the penile muscles.

The relaxation of muscles is then followed by a smooth blood flow to get and maintain the erection.
