Scope and purpose

Vidalista Black is marketed as an erectile dysfunction treatment for adult men and contains tadalafil, a selective PDE5 inhibitor. When taken before sexual activity, tadalafil can make it easier to develop and maintain an erection in response to sexual stimulation.

How tadalafil achieves its effect

Tadalafil reduces the activity of the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) in penile tissue. During sexual arousal this increases cyclic GMP levels, relaxes smooth muscle and allows increased blood flow into the penis, which supports erection. Tadalafil does not itself cause sexual desire and typically requires stimulation to work. Its effect can persist up to 36 hours for many men, which is why it is sometimes called the "weekend" medicine.
