Intimate®
Tadalafil
Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor (Anti-erectile dysfunction agent)
When sexual stimulation causes the local release of nitric oxide in the corpus cavernosum,
nitric oxide then activates the enzyme guanylyl cyclase, which results in increased levels of
cGMP. The increased levels of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum produce smooth muscle
relaxation and inflow of blood into the penile tissues, thereby producing an erection. PDE5
degrades cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, and the inhibition of PDE5 by Tadalafil
maintains increased levels of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. Tadalafil has no effect on
penile blood flow in the absence of sexual stimulation.
