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).
Do not take this medicine if you have severe heart or liver problems, have recently had a stroke or heart attack or if you have low blood pressure. Let your doctor know if you suffer from these or any other health problems before taking it. You should not drive if this medicine makes you feel dizzy. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it increases the chances of side effects.
