Silagra (Sildenafil) is a medication used in erectile disorders. Restores reduced erectile
function, increasing blood flow to the penis. The mechanism of action is based
on the release of nitric oxide in cave bodies at the time of sexual arousal.
Free nitric oxide activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, stimulating an
increase in the level of cGMP, which causes the relaxation of the smooth muscle
fibers of the cavernous bodies and increased blood flow.
Indication for use
Silagra (Sildenafil) is recommended for men aged
18-75 years with erectile dysfunction (inability to achieve or maintain a
penile erection that ensures successful sexual intercourse).
