How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Zel Force 50mg Tablet works by increasing blood flow to the penis when a man is sexually stimulated. This helps to achieve and maintain an erection.
The active ingredient, Sildenafil, inhibits an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). By blocking PDE5, Sildenafil allows for increased levels of a substance called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (c
GMP), which relaxes the blood vessels in the penis and enhances blood flow during sexual arousal.
