Active Ingredient and Mechanism of Action

Suhagra 100 mg contains Sildenafil Citrate as its active ingredient. This medication works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).

Increased cGMP Levels

By blocking PDE5, Sildenafil Citrate allows cGMP levels to increase. Higher cGMP levels relax the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis, leading to increased blood flow.

Improved Erectile Function

This enhanced blood flow facilitates the achievement and maintenance of an erection in response to sexual stimulation. It’s important to note that Sildenafil Citrate doesn’t directly cause erections; it only improves the body’s natural response to sexual stimulation.

Pharmacokinetic Profile

Sildenafil is absorbed rapidly after oral administration, reaching peak plasma concentrations within 30 to 120 minutes. Its effects typically last for 4-5 hours.
