Megalis is a medication containing Tadalafil, primarily used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Manufactured by Macleods Pharmaceuticals, it belongs to the PDE5 inhibitor class and works by improving blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve and maintain an erection. Additionally, it relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder, improving symptoms of BPH.
How Megalis Works
Megalis contains Tadalafil, which is a long-acting PDE5 inhibitor. It works by:
- Blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which breaks down cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate), a chemical responsible for relaxing blood vessels.
- Increasing cGMP levels, allowing for better blood flow to the penis, leading to an erection when sexually stimulated.
- Relaxing the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder, helping relieve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) such as difficulty urinating.
Unlike Sildenafil (Viagra), Megalis has a long duration of action—up to 36 hours, making it a preferred choice for men who want flexibility in their sexual activity.
