SILAGRA-100
- Overview:
- SILAGRA-100 is a medication manufactured by Cipla containing Sildenafil Citrate as its active ingredient. It is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men, a condition characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity.
- Active Substance:
- Sildenafil Citrate is the active substance in SILAGRA-100. It belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, which helps men with ED to achieve and maintain an erection.
- Medical Uses:
- SILAGRA-100 is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. It is effective in helping men with ED achieve and sustain erections suitable for sexual intercourse.
- Mode of Action:
- Sildenafil Citrate works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. Inhibition of PDE5 leads to increased levels of cGMP, which relaxes smooth muscles and dilates blood vessels in the penis, resulting in improved blood flow and erection.
- Dosage and Administration:
- The recommended dose of SILAGRA-100 is 100 mg, taken orally approximately 30 to 60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.
- The medication should be taken with a full glass of water, with or without food.
