What is Suhagra 100mg

Suhagra 100 mg is a prescription-based medicine used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains Sildenafil Citrate as an active ingredient.  

Suhagra 100 mg is manufactured by Cipla Limited. 

What are the benefits of Suhagra 100mg

Suhagra helps men achieve a strong erection by increasing blood flow to the penile region. Sildenafil Citrate, the active ingredient, inhibits the break down of Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) by the Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme. As a result, cGMP levels are restored in the body.

This inhibition helps relax the blood vessels in the penile region, resulting in better erection during sexual activity. Hence, this medication enhances sexual experience by maintaining an erection.
