Silagra (Sildenafil Citrate) Used to Treat Erectile Dysfunction ED
Silagra Tablet contains Sildenafil Citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It helps improve blood flow to penile tissues during sexual stimulation, supporting the ability to achieve and maintain a firm erection.
Product Overview
Silagra Tablet contains Sildenafil Citrate, a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to manage erectile dysfunction. It works by supporting the natural erection mechanism through improved blood circulation in the penile region. During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide is released in penile tissues, which increases the levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This causes relaxation of smooth muscles in blood vessels, allowing increased blood flow needed for an erection. Sildenafil prevents the breakdown of cGMP, helping maintain the erection response.
