Key Features

How does Zydalis MD 20 mg work?

The active ingredient in Zydalis MD 20 mg, Tadalafil, blocks the enzyme PDE5 in the corpus cavernosum of the penis.

Sexual stimulation triggers the release of nitric oxide (NO) which boosts the cGMP release and widens the penile tissues. The relaxed blood vessels increase the blood flow to the penis thus helping to achieve and maintain an erection.
