Filitra, containing vardenafil, enhances erections by boosting blood flow to the penis. This happens because vardenafil selectively inhibits a specific enzyme, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).
PDE5 normally breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a molecule crucial for relaxation of penile smooth muscles. By blocking PDE5, vardenafil increases cGMP levels, leading to vasodilation and improved blood flow.
Understanding the Mechanism
This increased blood flow allows the penis to become engorged with blood in response to sexual stimulation, resulting in a firmer erection. The effect is targeted – it only works when sexual stimulation is present.
Factors Influencing Effectiveness
Several factors can influence how well Filitra works. These include:
Dosage | The prescribed dose significantly impacts effectiveness. |
Health Condition | Underlying health issues might affect absorption and efficacy. |
Dietary Factors | High-fat meals can delay absorption. |
Medications | Some medications may interact with vardenafil. |
Always consult your doctor before using Filitra or any other medication to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances. He or she can help determine the optimal dosage and address any potential interactions.
