Sildenafil (VIPROGRA) 100 mg tablet is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) enzyme, which is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension.
Sildenafil is a specific and effective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) type 5 (PDE5) phosphodiesterase enzyme in the corpus cavernosum that induces pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cell relaxation. It replenishes reduced erectile capacity by raising blood flow to the penis; Sildenafil also requires sexual stimulation to achieve its pharmacological effects.

How Does It Work?
Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of the specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) enzyme in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in the relaxation of pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells. By increasing the blood flow to the penis, it restores damaged erectile function; thus, sexual stimulation is needed for Sildenafil to achieve its pharmacological effects.

- Erectile dysfunction
