Alphagra Tablets (Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg) - Product Information
Sildenafil Citrate belongs to a group of medications called as Phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors.

What is Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets Used For?
Sildenafil 100 mg tablets are mostly used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. On sexual stimulation, Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg tablets increase the blood flow to the penis, which results in development and prolongation of penile erection. Alphagra tablets do not protect against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, and syphilis). You should practice proper and safe methods of contraception such as condoms for these purposes.
Sildenafil 100 mg tablets are also used for the treatment of high blood pressure in patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension.
Sildenafil 100 mg Dosage - How to Take Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets?
You should take Sildenafil 100 mg tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may suggest a dosage depending on your requirement, body weight, other medical conditions, and current medications. Alphagra tablets should be taken on a need-basis.
You can take Alphagra tablets 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. You can choose to take Sildenafil 100 mg tablets with or without food. Note that the effect of Sildenafil 100 mg tablets will take longer to occur if you have eaten a large or high-fat meal before the medication.
Some type of sexual stimulation is required for the occurrence of an erection after taking Sildenafil 100 mg tablets. Sildenafil 100 mg tablets should be consumed only once in a day. Do not take more than one dose of Alphagra tablets within a period of 24 hours.
Alphagra Mechanism of Action – How Does Sildenafil Citrate Work?
Erectile dysfunction in men is the inability to get or maintain a proper erection on sexual stimulation. This condition occurs due to the dilation of the blood vessels in the penis. Constricted blood vessels would mean lesser blood flow to the penis which results in erectile dysfunction.
Sildenafil Citrate present in Alphagra 100 mg tablets prevents the activity of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type-5. This selective inhibition enables Sildenafil to expand the size of the blood vessels in the penis, leading to an increased blood flow. An enhanced blood flow in the penis during sexual stimulation enables a longer and stable erection during sexual activity.
Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets - Missed Dose
Sildenafil 100 mg tablets are consumed on a need-basis before engaging in sexual activity. However, doctors recommend a regular daily dose of Alphagra tablets for certain medical conditions such as pulmonary hypertension.
If you forget to take a dose of Alphagra tablets during the course of a regular schedule, take it as soon as you remember. If the time for the next dose is near, skip the missed dose and continue your normal dosing schedule. Do not administer a double dose in a single day to compensate the missed dose.
