Drug Mode of Action ::  

Sildenafil inhibits phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) which is responsible for cGMP degradation in the corpus cavernosum. Inhibition of PDE5 increases cGMP levels in the corpus cavernosum which results in smooth muscle relaxation and inflow of blood to the corpus cavernosum.

Drug Interactions ::

Inhibitors of CYP3A4 such as cimetidine and erythromycin are likely to reduce sildenafil clearance. CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampicin may decrease the plasma concentrations of sildenafil. Symptomatic hypotension when used with ?-blockers. Plasma concentrations are increased by ritonavir. Potentially Fatal: May potentiate hypotensive effects of of organic nitrates and nicorandil.
