Sildenafil Citrate CT 100mg contains sildenafil citrate as the active pharmaceutical component. On the consumption, sildenafil citrate gets absorbed from the stomach into the bloodstream rapidly. Once it reaches the bloodstream, it inhibits or constrains the action of an enzyme called PDE 5 (phosphodiesterase- 5). This is responsible for the improper flow of the blood towards the penis, a prime cause behind ED. This results in the augmentation of blood level of NO (nitric oxide) and guanylyl cyclase that in turn improves the production of (cGMP- cyclic guanosine monophosphate) which is a potent biochemical that broadens the arteries of the penis allowing the enhanced blood supply to the penis and surrounding regions. This results in the stronger penile erection which is hard, firm as well as long lasting.
