BENEFITS:
- Used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men, enhancing the ability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
- It helps improve sexual performance and confidence by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.
- The medication can lead to a more satisfying and prolonged sexual experience.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Sildenafil citrate is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing increased blood flow when sexually aroused.
- This action helps achieve and sustain an erection during sexual activity, but it only works in the presence of sexual stimulation.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
- Take one VEGAFIL*-100 tablet about 30-60 minutes before planned sexual activity.
- Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
- The maximum recommended dose is one tablet per day.
- Avoid taking the tablet with a high-fat meal, as this can delay its effectiveness.
