impaired erectile function by
increasing blood flow to the penis, resulting in a natural response to
sexual stimulation.

The physiological mechanism responsible for erection of the penis
involves the release of nitric oxide
(NO) in the corpus cavernosum during sexual stimulation. Nitric oxide
then activates the enzyme,
guanylate cyclase, which results in increased levels of cyclic
guanosine monophosphate (cGMP),
producing smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum and
allowing inflow of blood.
Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of cGMP specific
