What is Vidalista 40

Vidalista 40 treats impotence or Erectile Dysfunction.

Impotence is a dysfunction in males or assigned males by birth in which they cannot attain and hold an erection.

What is Vidalista 40 used for

Vidalista 40mg contains Tadalafil, which is used in treating Erectile Dysfunction (ED).

The incapability to get and sustain an erection can be induced due to several psychological and physical factors.

These ED causes include:

• Cardiovascular issues

Tadalafil, in other medications, is also used to treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (a type of high blood pressure) and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Prostate gland enlargement). 

How does Vidalista work

Tadalafil, in this medication, is a Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor.

The inhibition of the PDE5 enzyme improves cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) levels.

This raised cGMP level relaxes smooth muscles and dilates blood vessels in the penile area. 

When a man is sexually stimulated, these dilated blood vessels boost blood circulation in the penile region. 

Improved blood flow aids in attaining and sustaining a satisfactory erection.
