How do Viagra Connect® Melts work?
Viagra Connect® Melts work by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual
stimulation.
The active ingredient, sildenafil 50mg, relaxes blood vessels and helps improve
circulation, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sex.
The medication only works when you are sexually stimulated – it will not work on its own without arousal.
Understanding Erections and Blood Flow
An erection depends largely on healthy blood flow. When a man becomes sexually aroused, the body releases chemicals that relax blood vessels inside the penis. This allows blood to flow into the erectile tissue, creating an erection.
For some men, blood flow is reduced or interrupted. This can make erections difficult to achieve, difficult to maintain, or less firm than usual.
Viagra Connect® Melts help support this natural blood-flow process.
What Does Sildenafil Actually Do?
Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors.
PDE5 is an enzyme that can restrict blood flow in the penis. Sildenafil temporarily blocks this enzyme, helping blood vessels relax more easily during sexual stimulation.
