Mechanism and action
Vardenafil: Le mécanisme est identique à celui du Levitra d'origine : le vardénafil inhibe sélectivement la PDE5 dans le muscle lisse pénien, ce qui permet au GMP cyclique produit lors de l'excitation sexuelle de s'accumuler. Zoloft: La sertraline agit en bloquant sélectivement le transporteur de la sérotonine, empêchant la recapture de la sérotonine depuis la fente synaptique et augmentant sa concentration synaptique.
