Adegra Tablet 50 mg contains Sildenafil Citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Sildenafil works by enhancing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, enabling the achievement and maintenance of a firm erection.
Adegra is an effective and well-tolerated option for men with ED caused by vascular, neurological, or psychological factors. It provides rapid onset of action, typically within 30–60 minutes, and supports normal sexual function without causing spontaneous erections without stimulation.
