How It Works
Sildenafil citrate, the active component in Suhagra 100mg, works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which is responsible for the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Increased levels of cGMP lead to the relaxation of smooth muscles and dilation of blood vessels in the penis, enhancing blood flow and enabling an erection in response to sexual stimulation.
