Penegra 50 mg commonly contains sildenafil citrate 50 mg, a PDE5 inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping achieve and maintain an erection. It does not increase sexual desire and does not cause an erection without sexual stimulation. A 50 mg dose is commonly used as an as-needed dose, although the appropriate dose varies according to age, health conditions, other medicines, and individual response. It should be taken only as directed by a healthcare professional, and it should not be taken more than once in 24 hours unless specifically instructed.
