Penegra 25mg (Sildenafil Citrate)

Introduction

Penegra 25mg contains Sildenafil Citrate 25mg, a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class of medicines, which improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping men achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity.

The 25mg strength is often prescribed as a lower starting dose for individuals who may be more sensitive to Sildenafil or who have certain medical conditions that require dose adjustment. Penegra does not increase sexual desire and only works when sexual stimulation occurs.

Product Overview

How Penegra 25mg Works

Penegra 25mg works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, allowing higher levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) to remain active in the erectile tissue. During sexual stimulation, this relaxes the smooth muscles and widens blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow and making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection.

Sexual stimulation is necessary for the medication to be effective.

Medical Uses

Penegra 25mg is prescribed for:

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection due to reduced penile blood flow

In some situations, Sildenafil is also used under medical supervision for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), although dosage and formulations differ from those used for erectile dysfunction.
