Penegra

Penegra contains Sildenafil Citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, thereby increasing blood flow when sexually aroused. It is used to help men achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity.

Dosage by Body Weight

The standard recommended dose is 50 mg, taken as needed, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. It may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg based on efficacy and tolerability. Do not take more than once daily. Avoid consuming high-fat meals, alcohol, or grapefruit juice before taking this medicine as they can reduce its effectiveness.
