How does Revatio work?
Revatio consists of Sildenafil as its active ingredient. Sildenafil is a cGMP- specific PDE5 inhibitor. By inhibiting PDE5, it prevents the breakdown of cGMP, leading to increased cGMP levels, smooth muscle relaxation, and increased blood flow to the penile tissues (for erectile dysfunction).
