Vega 100 mg Tablet

How Does Vega 100mg Work?

Vega 100mg tablets work in combination with sexual stimulation. It increases the blood flow to the penis by relaxing the smooth muscles present in the walls of the blood vessels and helps the person get and maintain an erection.

It is a PDE 5 inhibitor, meaning it blocks the action of PDE 5 and enables the production of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate). The production of cGMP allows the blood to flow easily to the penis. 

As more blood flows to the penis, pressure is created in the penis. This helps improve erectile function, making the penis hard enough for sex. This may enhance sexual satisfaction and improve the chances of having an orgasm.
