Viagra is one of the most promising medicines for people with Erectile Dysfunction.

According to NCBI, the worldwide prevalence of Erectile Dysfunction can reach 322 million people by 2025.

Therefore, learning about Viagra and understanding \u2018how does Viagra work\u2019 is essential to treat people with ED.

Viagra is a medicine that contains Sildenafil as its active ingredient.

This comprehensive article will help you gain knowledge about Viagra, and its mechanism to combat Erectile Dysfunction and lead a healthy sexual life.

So, let\u2019s delve into the topic and learn more in-depth! <\/p>\n\n\n

How does Viagra work<\/h2>\n\n\n

Viagra falls in the class of drugs called Phosphodiesterase type 5 Inhibitors (PDE5) and improves erection in people with ED.

The US Foods and Drugs Administration approves<\/a> Viagra to treat Erectile Dysfunction in men effectively.

The question, \u2018How does Viagra work?\u2019 can be understood by learning about the physiology of erection in the absence and presence of the drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \"Escape\n<\/picture>\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n

Normal physiology of erection<\/h3>\n\n\n

During sexual stimulation, Nitric Oxide (NO) is released<\/a> in the penis.

In return, Nitric Oxide activates an enzyme, Guanylate Cyclase, which further increases cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) levels.

The increased cGMP causes relaxation of smooth muscles in the penis and increases the inflow of blood, hence causing erection.<\/p>\n\n\n

Viagra mechanism of action <\/h3>\n\n\n

Viagra has no direct effect on the penis.

However, Viagra inhibits the level of the PDE5 enzyme that degrades the cGMP, thus increasing the effect of Nitric Oxide.

The enzyme PDE5, in the smooth muscles of the penis, prevents<\/a> the relaxing of muscle tissue and blood vessels in the penis.

In the presence of sexual stimulation, Viagra promotes smooth muscle relaxation and blood inflow to the penis by increasing the level of cGMP in the penis. 

Also, Viagra needs a stimulus (sexual arousal) to cause an erection and does not work in its absence.

Additionally, it does not cure Erectile Dysfunction. Rather, it treats<\/a> the symptoms of the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n

Warnung:<\/div>
Consult your doctor and seek early medical treatment for Erectile Dysfunction, as delaying can affect the quality of life. <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

How long does Viagra take to work<\/h2>\n\n\n

After administering Viagra before sexual intercourse, it can take up to 30 minutes for the onset of drug action, lasting 4 hours.

According to NCBI, the ideal time to take<\/a> Viagra is 1 hour before sexual intercourse.

However, the opportunity for sexual intercourse remains open from 30 minutes to 4 hours after administering Viagra.

Also, it is advised to strictly follow the recommended dosage of Viagra and avoid consuming it more than once every 24 hours to avoid complications.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to make Viagra work faster<\/h2>\n\n\n
