To understand how Uprima works it is necessary to know about erectile dysfunction and its causes. Erectile dysfunction (ED) means an inability to get a good enough erection to have sexual intercourse. This can be either the inability to get a ‘hard-on’, or it is not firm enough to penetrate the partner, perhaps some can manage penetration but lose the erection. ED is very common and occurs in men of all ages.  

To understand the problems of ED it is important to know how an erection occurs. This happens when blood is pumped into the penis making it hard. It normally happens when the man is either thinking about sex, or his penis is being stimulated. The result is that signals are sent down the spinal cord to the genitals which tell the blood vessels to open up and the organ blows up like a balloon.  

If the cause of a man’s erectile dysfunction is not a physical one, Uprima works on the psychological causes. An erection is produced via a complex chain of events. The process is started with sexual stimulation from sight, smell, sound or touch. This causes nerve signals to be sent from the brain to the penis, which in turn cause the blood vessels in the penis to relax and widen. This allows the penis to fill with blood and makes it become erect. Uprima works by enhancing the nerve signals that are sent from the brain to the penis during sexual stimulation.

As Uprima enhances the action of dopamine in producing an erection, it will only work once sexual stimulation has occurred. It does not increase sex-drive or libido and is not an aphrodisiac. The Uprima tablet dissolves under the tongue, where it immediately enters the bloodstream, causing an erection in most sexually stimulated men in about 20 minutes.
