Suhagra-100mg Tablets

Suhagra 100 mg tablets are a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, in men. The active ingredient is sildenafil citrate, which is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor.

Here's a general description of the drug:

Uses

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED): This is the primary use. Sildenafil works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow when a man is sexually stimulated. This helps to achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. It's important to note that the medication will only work with sexual arousal; it does not cause a spontaneous erection.

• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): In some cases, sildenafil is also used to treat this condition, which is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, which reduces the workload on the heart.

How it works

Sildenafil belongs to a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. By inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, it allows for an increase in a substance called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This increase in cGMP leads to the relaxation of smooth muscles in the blood vessels, particularly in the penis, resulting in improved blood flow and an erection.

Important Information

• Prescription Only: Suhagra 100 mg is a prescription medicine and should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

• Dosage: It is typically taken 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity. The effects can last for up to 4 hours. You should not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.

• Not for everyone: This medication is not for use by women, children, or adolescents under 18 years of age. It's also not recommended for people with certain heart or kidney problems, or for those who have a history of stroke or angina.

• Drug Interactions: It is dangerous to take Suhagra with medicines containing nitrates (often prescribed for chest pain or angina), as the combination can cause a severe and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure.

• Common Side Effects: Side effects can be mild and temporary. They may include headache, flushing (redness of the face), nasal congestion, dizziness, and indigestion.

• Serious Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a painful erection that lasts for more than 4 hours (priapism), sudden vision or hearing loss, or chest pain.
