Introduction to Penegra 100mg Tablet
Penegra 100mg Tablet is a medication used primarily for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The active ingredient in Penegra is sildenafil citrate, which is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. This medication works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.
Penegra is taken orally, usually about 30 minutes to an hour before sexual activity. It is designed to enhance the natural response to sexual stimulation by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis and allowing for increased blood flow. This mechanism helps men who have difficulty achieving or sustaining an erection due to various factors, including underlying health conditions or psychological issues.
This medicine is not intended for use by women and men should avoid using any other medicines to treat impotence without talking to a doctor first. It can be dangerous to take it along with medicines called nitrates (often given for chest pain or angina).

How Does Penegra 100 Tablet Works?
Penegra 100mg improves penile erection (make penis firm) during sexual intercourse, where sildenafil acts by improving the blood supply to the penis. It works by blocking the effects of certain enzymes (PDE5) which limits blood flow to the penis. As a result, it relaxes the blood vessels supplying the penis, improves penile function and makes it stay erected throughout the process of sexual intercourse.

Warning & Precautions
Penegra 100mg Tablet contains Sildenafil Citrate, which is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and, in some cases, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, there are important warnings and precautions to consider when using Penegra 100mg:
1. Cardiovascular Conditions:
- Penegra should be used with caution in individuals with heart disease, heart failure, or a history of heart attack or stroke. Sexual activity can put additional strain on the heart, and Penegra may interact with certain cardiovascular conditions and medications.
2. Nitrate Medications:
- Do not take Penegra with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin), which are commonly prescribed for chest pain or heart problems. Combining these can cause a severe drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness, fainting, or other serious complications.
3. Low Blood Pressure:
- If you have hypotension (low blood pressure), use Penegra cautiously, as it can cause further reduction in blood pressure, potentially leading to dizziness, fainting, or other related issues.
4. Liver and Kidney Problems:
- Penegra may need dosage adjustments if you have liver or kidney problems, as these conditions can affect the medication’s clearance from the body.
5. Age Considerations:
- Older individuals, particularly those over 65 years of age, may be more sensitive to Penegra and may require a lower dose.
6. Alcohol and Grapefruit:
- Limit alcohol intake and avoid grapefruit juice while using Penegra, as they can interact with the drug, increasing the risk of side effects such as dizziness and lowering blood pressure.
7. Not for Women or Children:
- Penegra is not recommended for women or children. It is only intended for use in adult men with ED.
8. Use with Caution in Dehydration:
- Penegra may lower blood pressure, especially in individuals who are dehydrated, so it should be used with caution in these cases.
