How does Stendra help with ED?
The substance avanafil is responsible for restoring an erection. It selectively blocks PDE5 in the smooth muscle cells of the penile tissue. For this, the degradation of cGMP in arterial vessels stops and the availability of cGMP is increased.
This leads to the accumulation of blood in the corpus cavernosum and prolonged erection of the penis.
