Zenegra 100 Mg: Understanding Its Use

Zenegra 100 is a prescription medication containing Sildenafil Citrate (100 mg), primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.

It functions by enhancing blood flow to the penis, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection during sexual stimulation.

Zenegra 100 mg is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains the active ingredient Sildenafil Citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor.

It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve and maintain an erection.

Uses:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Helps men attain and sustain an erection suitable for sexual activity.

• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): May be prescribed to manage high blood pressure in the lungs.

Dosage & Administration:

• Recommended Dosage: Take one tablet (100 mg) approximately 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity.

• Frequency: Do not exceed one dose in 24 hours.

• With or Without Food: Can be taken with or without food; however, a high-fat meal may delay its onset of action.

Precautions:

• Medical Consultation: Inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, or kidney issues, or if you’ve experienced a recent stroke or heart attack.

• Alcohol Consumption: Limit or avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness.

• Driving and Operating Machinery: Avoid activities requiring alertness if you experience dizziness or visual disturbances.

How It Works

It works by inhibiting the action of PDE5, an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP is a molecule that relaxes smooth muscle and increases blood flow to the penis.

By inhibiting PDE5, it increases cGMP levels, increasing blood flow and improving erectile function.
