Penegra Tablet is a medication used to manage a condition called erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It helps improve blood flow to the penis, allowing men to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity.

This medicine is commonly prescribed by doctors to alleviate the symptoms associated with ED and enhance sexual performance and satisfaction. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions for proper usage of the Penegra Tablet. Remember, it is crucial not to exceed the recommended dosage of one tablet per day. If you experience any discomfort or have persistent side effects, consult your doctor immediately.

Penegra Tablet can be used to manage the following health issues:

Erectile dysfunction (ED)
Sexual performance issues
Poor sexual satisfaction
Erectile function problems

To use Penegra Tablet:

Consult a doctor for personalized advice and guidance.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage of one tablet per day.
Follow the doctor's instructions regarding timing and frequency of use.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible unless it is close to the time for your next dose; in that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Penegra Tablet is taken orally, which means it is consumed by mouth. It is not meant to be used topically or through any other route.

Taking the Penegra Tablet may cause some side effects. Here are a few common ones:

Flushing
Headache
Dizziness
Blurred vision
Muscle pain

Managing the Side Effects:

Here are some natural ways to manage the side effects:

To reduce flushing, try staying cool and avoiding hot drinks or spicy foods.
For headaches, rest in a quiet, dark room and apply a cold compress to your forehead.
If you feel dizzy, sit or lie down slowly to avoid falls.
To alleviate blurred vision, avoid activities that require sharp focus until it improves.
For muscle pain, try gentle stretching exercises and apply a warm compress to the affected area.

The active ingredient in Penegra Tablet is sildenafil.

Sildenafil works as a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor which prevents the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). By inhibiting PDE-5, sildenafil allows cGMP levels to increase, promoting smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation in the penile blood vessels. This relaxation and improved blood flow enable men with erectile dysfunction to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused.

It's important to note that sildenafil does not increase sexual desire or protect against sexually transmitted diseases. It should be taken as directed by your doctor and only when needed.

Pregnancy

During pregnancy, it is important to discuss the use of Penegra Tablet with your doctor. They will weigh the potential benefits against any possible risks.
