How does Erectafil work?
Erectafil (tadalafil) works by helping to relax muscles and arteries inside the penis, which helps more blood reach the penis. The combination of sexual arousal, relaxation and increased blood flow helps fill the penis with blood.
Sexual arousal leads to the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the blood vessels of the penis. Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that relaxes and dilates the blood vessels in the penis. This relaxation of blood vessels allows increased blood flow into the erectile tissues of the penis, leading to an erection.
