How Pulmopres 20 mg Works

Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Pulmopres works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), leading to the relaxation of smooth muscles and dilation of blood vessels in the penis. This allows increased blood flow, facilitating an erection when sexually stimulated.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): In PAH, Pulmopres helps relax and widen the blood vessels in the lungs, reducing the workload on the heart and improving exercise capacity.

Recommended Dosage

For Erectile Dysfunction: Take one 20 mg tablet approximately 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity. The effects can last up to 36 hours, allowing for spontaneous sexual activity.

For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage, which may differ from the ED dosage. Do not adjust your dose without medical consultation.

Common side effects may include:

• Headache
