Uses of Penegra 50 mg and 100 mg Tablets:
Penegra (Generic Sildenafil Citrate Tablets) is an oral treatment for
adult men suffering from erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a
condition where the penis does not harden and expand when a man
is sexually excited, or when he cannot keep an erection.
When a man is sexually stimulated, his body's normal response is to
increase blood flow to his penis to produce an erection. By controlling
the enzyme, Sildenafil Citrate helps to maintain an erection after the
penis is stroked.
Without physical action to the penis, such as that occurring during
sexual intercourse, Penegra will not work to cause an erection.

Uses of Penegra 50 mg and 100 mg Tablets:
Sildenafil restores impaired erectile function by increasing blood flow
to the penis, resulting in a natural response to sexual stimulation.
Penegra Tablets (Sildenafil Citrate) for erectile dysfunction can be
taken by men aged 18 and over. It's not indicated for women or
children.
Sildenafil is also used in both men and women to treat the symptoms
of pulmonary arterial hypertension. This is a type of high blood
pressure that occurs between the heart and the lungs. When
hypertension occurs in the lungs, the heart must work harder to pump
enough blood through the lungs. Sildenafil works on the PDE5 enzyme
in the lungs to relax the blood vessels. This will increase the supply of
blood to the lungs and reduce the workload of the heart.

Penegra Tablets Overdosage
Overdose information of Sildenafil Citrate (Penegra Tablets) is limited.
In studies with healthy volunteers, of single doses up to 800mg,
adverse effects were similar to those seen at lower doses but
incidence rates and severities were increased. Survival is reported in
a 42-year-old female following an overdose with 2,000mg Sildenafil.
In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be
adopted as required. Sildenafil blood levels are not clinically
useful.
Monitor ECG and blood pressure in symptomatic patients. Renal
dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as Sildenafil is highly
bound to plasma protein and not eliminated in the urine.
