Viagra Professional, like other phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, works by increasing blood flow to the penis. This occurs through a specific mechanism. Specifically, it inhibits PDE5, an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).
Increased cGMP levels relax the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis. This relaxation allows for increased blood flow, leading to an erection in response to sexual stimulation. It’s crucial to remember that Viagra Professional does not cause erections spontaneously; sexual stimulation is necessary.
The higher concentration of sildenafil citrate in Viagra Professional (100mg) compared to standard Viagra may result in a faster onset of action and potentially longer duration, but individual responses vary. Consult a physician to determine the appropriate dosage.
