Revatio 20 mg

As discussed above Revatio 20 mg is a considerable medicine to treat erectile dysfunction but it can also treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. It is a condition in men where the blockages of arteries in the heart & lungs lead to shortness of breathing, dizziness & chest pain.

And the use of Revatio can help to ease the blood vessels to relax which will allow the blood to flow properly.

How Revatio 20 mg Helps in Erection

Generally, an erection occurs with the presence of sexual stimulation. And this erection is maintained by the release of Nitric Oxide(NO) & production of cGMP( cyclic guanosine monophosphate). Where cGMP is responsible for maintaining the erection by keeping a constant flow of blood to the penile region.

However, for individuals suffering from ED, the release of the Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) enzyme works as a barrier for cGMP. Which affects the blood flow that creates a hanging-like structure of the penis referred to as erectile dysfunction.

So with the use of Revatio 20 mg, the active ingredient Sildenafil Citrate works as a PDE-5 inhibitor. Where the PDE-5 is blocked resulting in the acceleration of cGMP production. Which creates the action of erection by supplying an adequate flow of blood to the penis. This erection is much firmer & maintains for a longer period satisfying the sexual desire of a man.
