How Does It Work?

Zeagra 100 mg tablet belongs to the group of drugs known as PDE 5 inhibitors. It contains Sildenafil Citrate, which works by blocking the action of the enzyme PDE 5 (Phosphodiesterase Type 5) and enhancing the effects of nitric oxide. Thus, it increases the blood flow to the penis and helps achieve an erection.
The enzyme PDE 5 causes constriction in the arteries and doesn’t let blood flow properly to the penis. When a person is sexually stimulated, nitric oxide is released into the penis. Nitric oxide is vital for cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production. Nitric oxide interacts with the haem group of the enzyme soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) and stimulates cGMP production. cGMP regulates the contraction and dilation of blood vessels. Zeagra stops the enzyme PDE 5 from destroying cGMP and allows the blood to flow properly to the penis. As cGMP is produced, more blood flows to the penis, creating pressure inside it. This leads to an erection.

Uses

This medicine is prescribed for the treatment of the following conditions:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – a condition that makes a man unable to achieve or sustain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It occurs due to improper blood flow to the penis caused by physical and psychological factors.

Dosage

The recommended dose of Zeagra 100 mg is one tablet per day. It should not be taken more than one tablet should be taken in 24 hours. Zeagra can be taken with or without food. For best results, take it on an empty stomach with water one hour before sexual intercourse. The effects kick in within 30 minutes to 60 minutes. However, in some cases, it can take longer depending on a person’s age, metabolism, health conditions, etc. This medicine only works if you’re sexually stimulated. Do not consume the tablet if you don’t have erectile dysfunction.

Missed Dose: This medicine is taken when needed. Therefore, you’re less likely to miss a dose.

Overdose: Overdosing can deteriorate your existing condition and lead to adverse side effects. In case an overdose is suspected, seek medical help immediately.
