How does Caverta 50 mg work?

It works by aiding the penile blood vessels to relax. Thus it lets the blood flow into the penis when a man gets excited sexually. Its active ingredient, sildenafil, starts to work. It inhibits PDE-5. Thus it enhances Nitric oxide action. Penile erection’s mechanism includes nitric oxide release during sexual activity. 

Nitric oxide will activate guanylate cyclase. It is an enzyme that increases cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels. This makes the smooth muscles relaxed. Thus blood flows into the penis. This medication takes some time to start its action. It generally takes half an hour to 1 hour to start its action.
