Zudena 100 mg contains Udenafil, which is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. PDE5 inhibitors like Udenafil work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide (NO) in the body. Here’s how it works:
Nitric Oxide Release: When sexually aroused, nitric oxide is released in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. Nitric oxide is a natural vasodilator, which means it helps relax and widen blood vessels.
cGMP Production: Nitric oxide stimulates the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a secondary messenger that causes smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow.
PDE5 Inhibition: Zudena 100mg inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which breaks down cGMP. By blocking PDE5, Udenafil helps to maintain higher levels of cGMP, prolonging the effects of nitric oxide and enhancing blood flow to the penis, thereby improving erectile function.
This mechanism is similar to other PDE5 inhibitors like Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis).
