What is Vidalista Professional

Vidalista Professional 20mg is a medicine used for treating Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in men. 

Tadalafil is the main active salt of this medicine.

It boosts blood flow to the penis, which helps in alleviating erection issues. 

This prescription-based medicine is available as sublingual tablets and hence is a fast-acting medicine.

Uses of Vidalista Professional 

ED is commonly known as impotence. 

Vidalista Professional 20 mg tablets are administered to treat male sexual health issues like Erectile Dysfunction. 

It should not be taken unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Erectile Dysfunction occurs when a patient cannot get a proper erection during sexual intercourse.

There are many factors that lead to the condition of Erectile Dysfunction. 

Tadalafil is also potent in treating the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Enlarged prostate). 

Tadalafil, along with Dapoxetine, treats both Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation.

How does Vidalista Professional work?

Vidalista Professional 20 mg contains Tadalafil, which belongs to a category of medicines called Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. 

It prohibits the activity of PDE5 enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down the cGMP levels. 

This inhibition raises cGMP levels, thus, relaxing the penile blood vessels.

When these blood vessels are relaxed, there is an increased flow of blood in the penis.

Improved blood flow helps a man to get an erection. However, proper sexual stimulation is required for the medicine to work effectively.
