Silagra 100 mg (Sildenafil Citrate)

What is Silagra 100?

Silagra 100 is a medical formulation by Cipla, designed for men experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED). Primarily containing 100 mg of Sildenafil Citrate, this prescription medication offers temporary relief from ED symptoms.

Uses of Silagra 100

Physicians often recommend Silagra 100 for erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The medication helps maintain erectile function for 4-5 hours, thereby improving sexual satisfaction. However, the medication is not advised for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or for enhancing libido.

Silagra 100: Mechanism of Action

After administration, Silagra 100 inhibits phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzymes in the bloodstream. Consequently, this leads to an increase in cGMP levels, a vasodilator that relaxes blood vessels. This facilitates improved blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal, leading to stronger erections.
