The chief constituent of generic Viagra is Sildenafil Citrate that is found to be responsible for the increase of oxytoxin. A posterior pituitary gland, a small structure directly underneath the brain, releases the oxytoxin after stimulation. Oxytoxin is sometimes called the “cuddle chemical” or “love hormone,” which plays several important roles in social interactions and reproduction, including triggering uterine contractions and lactation. Oxytoxin is also released during orgasm and has been linked to sexual arousal.

Lack of blood flow to the penis is found to be the main reason for the erectile dysfunction. Generic Viagra treats the erectile dysfunction by increasing the blood flow to the sexual organs. Lack of blood flow to the penis can be due to physical factors or lack of sexual desire because of low concentration of sex hormone, oxytoxin. Latest study on generic Viagra has concluded that it increases the production of oxytoxin.

Release of oxytoxin is regulated by phosphodiesterase enzyme. In simple words, if the concentration of the phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme increases then the concentration of the oxytoxin is decreased. Thus, the sexual stimulation is lacking in many men during the sexual intercourse. Generic Viagra is found to be promising drug that inhibits the production of enzyme, phosphodiesterase type 5.

Sildenafil, the main constituent of generic Viagra, plays a vital role by blocking phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme, essentially releasing the brakes.. Generic Viagra relaxes smooth muscle around the blood vessels and increases blood flow, which corrects erectile dysfunction. In the posterior pituitary, the cells become more responsive by the inhibition of phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme. Hence, the production of oxytoxin is increased and men get the sexual stimulation. It is said by the researchers that Viagra will not induce the release of oxytocin on its own, but it will enhance the amount of release you get in response to electrical stimulation.

Although, sildenafil’s effects on oxytoxin-sensitive pathways are still unknown, other researchers work has shown that oxytocin-sensitive cells in the brain play a role in the neural control of erectile responses, suggesting that Viagra and its kin may work through multiple channels. Thus, it was proved that generic Viagra boosts the sex stimulating hormone.
