What is a PDE5 inhibitor?
We are not trying to create more questions in answering your other questions, there are just a lot of terms to understand. A PDE5 inhibitor (phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor) is a chemical
compound or drug that increase blood flow to the penis. It does this by slowing down or inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 from acting on cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP leads to smooth muscle relaxation in blood vessels of the penis allowing for increased blood flow during sexual stimulation. In other words PDE5 is produced naturally in your body to reduce cGMP, but the
cGMP is good if you are trying to get an erection.
