Uses of Penegra 100mg
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Helps men achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
- Improved Sexual Performance: Enhances sexual confidence and performance by addressing ED symptoms.
How Does Penegra 100mg Work?
Penegra 100mg contains Sildenafil Citrate, which works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme. This inhibition increases the levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), relaxing the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis. The result is improved blood flow, which facilitates a natural erection when sexually stimulated.
How to Use Penegra 100mg
- Dosage: Take one tablet as directed by your healthcare provider, approximately 30–60 minutes before sexual activity.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
- Timing: The effects typically last up to 4–6 hours, but this varies between individuals.
- Missed Dose: Penegra 100mg is taken as needed; there is no fixed dosing schedule. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours.
