Penegra is a pharmaceutical product intended for the treatment of male impotence. It works on the tissues and blood vessels, enhancing their elasticity and allowing a greater volume of blood to flow. As a result, the penis enlarges and becomes firmer. The medication is effective only in response to sexual stimulation. Once the sexual activity ends or arousal subsides, the effects of the drug cease.
Women should not use this medication, despite some claims that Penegra may have similar effects, such as increasing blood flow to the clitoral erectile tissue. Tests conducted on females did not yield convincing results. While some physicians may suggest Penegra for women experiencing physiological issues, it should never be used by those with psychological disorders. Women considering Penegra should consult their doctor first.
Penegra is not an aphrodisiac and should not be used as a regular treatment. It is a pill intended for oral administration only when sexual activity is expected. The pill should be taken one hour prior to the event, and its effects can last up to four hours. However, these time frames are not absolute for all men taking the medication, as individual absorption rates can vary.
If you are on nitrate-based medications, you must avoid taking Penegra, even occasionally, due to the risk of a significant drop in blood pressure. If you are unsure about the ingredients in your current medication, seek clarification or consult your doctor.
You should refrain from consuming alcohol, even in small amounts.
Patients using Penegra may experience side effects such as headaches, stomach discomfort, nasal congestion, and flushing of the upper body and face. Higher doses may lead to vision problems.
