Mechanisms compared
Stendra: L'avanafil inhibe sélectivement la phosphodiestérase de type 5 dans le corps caverneux, ce qui augmente le GMP cyclique et amplifie la vasodilatation médiée par le monoxyde d'azote en réponse à la stimulation sexuelle. Albuterol: Le salbutamol active sélectivement les récepteurs bêta-2 adrénergiques du muscle lisse bronchique, entraînant un relâchement des voies aériennes et une bronchodilatation rapide.
