Sildenafil inhibits the enzyme of the fifth type phosphodiesterase. This leads to an increase in the content of cyclic AMP, which causes relaxation of the smooth muscles of the walls of the blood capillaries and cavernous bodies of the penis, and also increases their filling with blood, causing an erection.
