How does viagra work?

Is there any difference between the way Viagra works and some of the alternatives out there (Levitra, Cialis, etc)

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you want to create a drug that increases blood flow to the penis, there are at least three ways to do it:

1. Increase the amount of nitric oxide produced in the penis
2. Increase the amount of cGMP produced in the penis in response to the nitric oxide
3. Eliminate the PDE in the penis so that the cGMP builds up instead of getting decomposed by the PDE

­Viagra uses method No. 3 -- it eliminates the PDE that is decomposing the cGMP, so cGMP builds up in the penis and has a larger effect on the artery walls. The greater the amount of cGMP the greater the blood flow, and the greater the blood flow the greater the degree of the erection.

Cialis works similarly by blocking PDE(see 2nd source).

Increases blood flow to the man part. Cialis and Levitra also increase blood flow. Levitra relaxes the muscle in the man part therefor allowing blood to flow in.

Viagra (sildenafil) belongs to a group of medicines that delay the called phosphodiesterase (enzymes) from working too quickly. By controlling it, sildenafil helps to maintain an erection that is produced when the penis is physically stimulated.

It works by increasing blood flow to the Penis. As simple as that.
