Uses of Sildenafil Citrate in Malegra 50 Mg

• Treats erectile dysfunction (ED).
• Addresses symptoms of an enlarged prostate in men.
• Helps reduce elevated blood pressure in the lungs.
• May be prescribed for additional reasons; consult your doctor.
• Erectile Dysfunction: This condition involves difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, leading to challenges in sexual performance. Malegra 50 aids in relaxing blood vessels in the penis, promoting effective erections and enhancing sexual satisfaction.
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: This condition is characterized by high blood pressure in the lungs. Malegra 50 helps relax blood vessels in the lungs, lowering blood pressure.
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Involves enlargement of the prostate gland. Malegra 50 improves blood flow to the prostate and relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder, alleviating urinary symptoms. Higher doses are often utilized for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension than for ED or BPH.

Mechanism of Action

Malegra 50, containing Sildenafil citrate, works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5), preventing the breakdown of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate). This results in relaxation of the blood vessels in the penis, facilitating erections when sexual stimulation occurs. It also relaxes smooth muscle in the pulmonary blood vessels, aiding in lowering lung pressure.
