Filagra O​ral Jelly general information

What is Filagra Oral Jelly used for?

Filagra Oral Jelly 100mg is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men, which is inability to achieve or maintain a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity, due to insufficient blood flow into the penis.  Filagra Oral Jelly relaxes the blood vessels in the penis increasing blood flow and causing an erection, which is the natural response to sexual stimulation.  However, Filagra Oral Jelly will only work if you are sexually aroused.  Filagra Oral Jelly 100 available as single dose individual sachets in various flavours including banana, pineapple, orange strawberry and vanilla.

How does Filagra Oral Jelly work?

Filagra Oral Jelly 100mg contains sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor.  Sildenafil Sildenafil in Filagra Oral Jelly acts on the erectile tissue of the penis to increase blood flow into the penis, which is needed to cause an erection.  During sexual stimulation nitric oxide is released in the erectile tissue of the penis which activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase.  This enzyme increases levels of a chemical called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which relaxes the blood vessels in the penis and allows blood to fill the spongy erectile tissues to cause an erection.  Another enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) breaks down cGMP preventing blood flow into the penis, which causes loss of an erection.  Sildenafil in Filagra Oral Jelly inhibits the action of PDE5 which resolves erectile dysfunction by allowing the natural process of sexual stimulation to activate the cGMP mechanism for achieving and maintaining an erection.  Filagra Oral Je
