Uses of Apcalis oral jelly-20mg
The following are the uses of Tadalafil:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erectile Dysfunction is a medical condition in which a man consistently struggles to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
It is often due to underlying health issues or psychological factors.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, common in older men.
It can lead to urinary symptoms like frequent urination and weak urine flow due to the enlarged prostate pressing on the urethra.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension is a rare condition in which the lungs' arteries have high blood pressure, which can lead to life-threatening symptoms and heart strain.
Some doctors may prescribe Apacalis oral jelly 20mg as an off-label medication to treat PAH.
Working of Apcalis oral jelly 20mg
Apcalis–SX contains Tadalafil, which is a Phosphodiesterase inhibitor. It serves multiple purposes.
When ingested, it acts by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which regulates blood flow in the penis.
This inhibition allows for increased levels of cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP), a chemical that relaxes the muscles in the penile arteries.
As a result, there is improved blood circulation to the penis when sexually aroused. This allows men to keep an erection hard enough for sex.
Additionally, it eases lung blood vessels for PAH treatment and soothes bladder/prostate muscles to control frequent urination in BPH.
