Penegra 50mg

Uses of Penegra 50mg

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Helps men achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
• Improved Sexual Performance: Enhances confidence and performance by addressing ED symptoms.

How Does Penegra 50mg Work?

Penegra 50mg contains Sildenafil Citrate, which inhibits the PDE5 enzyme. This inhibition increases the levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), relaxing the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis. This action improves blood flow, enabling a natural erection when sexually stimulated.

How to Use Penegra 50mg

• 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 may vary between individuals.
• Missed Dose: Penegra 50mg is taken as needed; there is no fixed dosing schedule. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Penegra 50mg include headache, flushing, dizziness, nasal congestion, and upset stomach.
Rare but serious side effects include vision changes or loss, hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), or chest pain.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe or persistent side effects, particularly priapism or symptoms of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing).

Drug Interactions

Penegra 50mg may interact with:

• Nitrates (e.g., Nitroglycerin): Concurrent use can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin): May increase the risk of low blood pressure or dizziness.
• Certain Antifungals and Antibiotics (e.g., Ketoconazole, Erythromycin): May alter Sildenafil levels in the blood.

  Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are using.
