Penegra is a pharmaceutical product designed to address male impotence. It works on the tissues and blood vessels, enhancing their elasticity and allowing for increased blood flow. As a result, the size of the penis increases and it becomes firmer. This medication is effective only when there is sexual stimulation. Once the sexual activity ends or arousal subsides, the medication ceases to have an effect.
Women should not use this medication, despite some claims that Penegra can create similar effects by increasing blood flow to the clitoral erectile tissue. Studies conducted on women have not yielded convincing results. While some doctors may suggest Penegra for women with physiological issues, it is strictly contraindicated for those with psychological disorders. It is advisable for women considering Penegra to consult their doctor first.
Penegra is not an aphrodisiac and is not intended for regular use. It is a pill that should be taken orally only when sexual activity is expected. The pill should be consumed an hour prior to the event, and its effects can last for up to four hours. However, these time frames are statistical averages and may vary for individual users based on their absorption rates.
If you are on nitrates, you must avoid taking Penegra, even occasionally, due to the risk of severely lowered blood pressure. If you are unsure about the ingredients in your medication, seek clarification or consult your doctor.
It is also important to avoid alcohol consumption, even in small amounts.
Individuals taking Penegra may experience side effects such as headaches, stomach discomfort, nasal congestion, and facial flushing. High doses could lead to vision issues.
