About Manforce 50 mg
Manforce 50 contains Sildenafil as an active ingredient.
It is used in treating impotence, also known as Erectile Dysfunction.
Impotence is a sexual dysfunction in a man when he is incapable of attaining and sustaining a firm erection.
This medication improves the blood circulation in the penis, which helps a man obtain an erection when sexually stimulated.
Mankind Pharma specializes in manufacturing Manforce tablets.
Uses
Manforce is a medication prescribed for Erectile Dysfunction.
Impotence is an incapability to develop or hold a firm erection.
Increasing blood flow to the penile region facilitates a strong erection in men.
Sildenafil, in other medications, is also used in treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
How it works
These Sildenafil tablets inhibit Phosphodiesterase Type 5 (PDE5).
Inhibiting PDE5 promotes Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) production, which helps relax penile smooth muscle.
The male genitalia receives a boost in blood flow due to the relaxed, smooth muscles, resulting in a firm erection.
Also, remember that you can't get an erection without sexual arousal.
