Sildenafil oral film works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Increased cGMP levels relax the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis.
This vasodilation increases blood flow to the penis, facilitating erection when sexual stimulation occurs. The rapid absorption of the oral film formulation contributes to a faster onset of action compared to other sildenafil delivery methods.
Remember: Sildenafil requires sexual stimulation to be effective; it doesn’t cause erections spontaneously. The oral film’s rapid absorption simply enhances the body’s natural response to sexual stimulation.
Important Note: Consult your doctor before using sildenafil, especially if you have underlying health conditions like heart disease or high blood pressure. They can assess your suitability and provide personalized guidance.
