Is coffee an inhibitor of PDE5?

While coffee and caffeine may have some indirect effects on vascular health and blood flow, they do not act as strong PDE-5 inhibitors like sildenafil or tadalafil. If you're looking for effective treatment for erectile dysfunction, it's best to use medications specifically designed as PDE5 inhibitors, as they are much more potent and targeted in their action. Some research has suggested that moderate caffeine consumption might have beneficial effects on erectile function due to its ability to enhance blood flow by causing mild vasodilation and improving circulation.
