Suhagra

Suhagra is a branded generic medication containing Sildenafil Citrate, manufactured by Cipla. It is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing increased blood flow when sexually stimulated, enabling an erection.
