Zenegra 50 mg is a medication used to treat
erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains
Sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient as in the popular brand Viagra. This medication works by improving blood flow to the penis, which helps men achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. Zenegra 50 mg is often prescribed for individuals who require a lower dose of Sildenafil, depending on their specific health needs.
How Does Zenegra 50 Mg Work?
Zenegra 50 mg works by inhibiting the enzyme
phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for reducing blood flow to the penis. During sexual arousal, nitric oxide is released in the penis, triggering the production of
cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate), which helps to dilate the blood vessels and increase blood flow. However, PDE5 naturally breaks down cGMP, reducing blood flow and inhibiting an erection.
By blocking PDE5, Zenegra allows cGMP to accumulate, resulting in enhanced blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. This makes it easier to achieve and sustain an erection, improving sexual performance.
How to Take Zenegra 50 Mg
- Dosage: The standard dose for Zenegra is 50 mg. However, the dosage can be adjusted by your doctor based on your individual needs and tolerance. It can be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg depending on the response and side effects.
- Administration: Zenegra 50 mg is taken orally, typically about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Taking it with or without food is fine, though a high-fat meal may slow down its absorption and effectiveness.
- Frequency: You should only take one dose per day. Never take more than one tablet within a 24-hour period. If you feel that the medication is not effective, consult your doctor rather than increasing the dose yourself.
