Faqs
How does Zudena Work?
When aroused, it causes sexual stimulation in our body that induces local release of nitric oxide (NO) by nerve endings within the erectile (spongy) tissues in the penis (corpora cavernosa). NO activates the Guanylate Cyclase, increasing guanosine-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) levels. Increased cGMP leads to smooth muscle relaxation in the blood vessels in the penile area. PDE5 in the corpus cavernosum breakdown cGMP. PDE5 inhibitor, Zudena (Udenafil), blocks the breakdown of cGMP to maintain blood flow and penile erection.
