How Does Vilitra 60mg?
Vilitra 60mg contains vardenafil, a selective inhibitor of the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) specific for cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Penile erections are triggered by the relaxation of the smooth muscles. Nitric oxide is released from nerve endings during sexual stimulation.
This nitric oxide activates the accelerating enzyme guanylate cyclase, which leads to increased production of cGMP in smooth muscle. cGMP, in turn, causes smooth muscle relaxation, allowing increased blood flow to the penis, resulting in an erection. So, inhibiting PDE5 improves erectile function by increasing the amount of cGMP.
