Tadalafil

When a man is sexually stimulated, these pills help achieve and maintain an erection by boosting blood flow to the male sex organ.

Thus, this pill successfully helps a man in treating impotence.

Action of Tadalafil

The leading cause behind ED is decreased blood flow in the penis. 

Tadalafil is a part of the Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor group of medications responsible for breaking down Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP). 

The cGMP further helps in relaxing the blood vessels. Relaxation of blood vessels promotes an easy flow of blood in the penis.

Thus, it inhibits PDE5, the enzyme responsible for the penis becoming flaccid. 

It increases blood flow to the penis and causes an erection for a more satisfying and fulfilling sexual experience in bed.
