How Viagra® and Cialis® Work You may have heard of some of the following: -Sildenafil or Viagra® -Tadalafil or Cialis® -Avanafil or Stendra® -Vardenafil or Levitra® These medications all contain PDE5 inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5, or PDE5. So, how do PDE5 inhibitors work? The enzyme PDE5 acts like a stoplight for blood flow to the penis, which can affect erections, since erections are all about blood flow. PDE5 inhibitors block this action to allow for more blood flow to the penis, leading to stronger erections and improved sex. What else should you know about PDE5 inhibitors? They’re also used to treat pulmonary hypertension (a form of high blood pressure in the lungs) and an enlarged prostate. They can take anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes to start working.
