Mode of
action ;
Sildenafil inhibits PDE-5, which is an inhibitor for corporal smooth muscle
relaxation, resulting in increased blood flow in the penis in response to sexual
stimulation. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is an enzyme that causes breakdown of cyclic GMP,
which is the direct intracellular mediator in the nitric oxide (nonadrenergic,
noncholinergic)
|
Mode of action ;
Vardenafil inhibits PDE-5, which is an inhibitor for corporal smooth muscle relaxation,
resulting in increased blood flow in the penis in response to sexual stimulation.
|
Mode of
action ;
Tadalafil inhibits PDE-5, which is an inhibitor for corporal smooth muscle
relaxation, resulting in increased
blood flow in the penis in response to sexual stimulation.

nickname 'weekender,' as a single dose taken on Friday would still be exerting an effect
Sunday (or even Monday).
