Malegra 25mg (Sildenafil Citrate) – Product Description
Overview: Malegra 25mg is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains Sildenafil Citrate as its active ingredient, which is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. By increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, Malegra 25mg helps achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
Key Benefits
- Effective Treatment for ED: Malegra 25mg is designed to address erectile dysfunction, helping men regain sexual confidence.
- Rapid Onset: Typically begins to work within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion.
- Convenient Dosage: The 25 mg strength is often recommended as a starting dose, allowing for dose adjustments based on individual response and tolerability.
How It Works
Sildenafil Citrate, the active component in Malegra 25mg, works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme. This inhibition increases levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to the relaxation of smooth muscles and dilation of blood vessels in the penis. This process enhances blood flow, facilitating an erection in response to sexual arousal.
Dosage and Administration
Recommended Dosage: One 25 mg tablet taken approximately 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity.
Maximum Dosage: Do not exceed one dose in a 24-hour period.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food; however, a high-fat meal may delay its onset of action.
Alcohol and Grapefruit: Limit alcohol consumption and avoid grapefruit products, as they can increase the risk of side effects.
