What is Fildena 100

How Does Fildena Work

Fildena (Sildenafil) treats Erectile Dysfunction by increasing blood flow in the penile area. The active component of this medication- Sildenafil, belongs to the Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors class of medicine. It blocks the activities of the PDE5 enzyme, which in turn restores cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) levels. This relaxes the penile blood vessels and improves blood flow for better erections.

However, sexual stimulation is still required to get an erection while using this medication.
