What is Zenegra Red 100

Zenegra Red 100 mg tablet includes Sildenafil, a member of the group of medicines known as Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors. It is used to treat Erectile Dysfunction in men.

It maintains an erection by boosting the blood flow to the penile region, thus increasing intimate gratification. 

Zenegra Red 100 mg tablet is a prescription-only medication purchased from any pharmacy, online pharmacy, or medical supply retailer.

Uses of Zenegra Red 100

Sildenafil is a primary component of Zenegra Red 100 and is used to treat Erectile Dysfunction. 

Erectile Dysfunction (also known as Impotence) is a sexual disorder in which a man cannot maintain a hard erected penis, which is necessary for sexual intercourse.

Sildenafil can also be used to treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension ( PAH ). 

Sildenafil can also be used in combination with Dapoxetine to treat Premature Ejaculation along with Erectile Dysfunction 

How Zenegra Red 100 mg works 

Sildenafil is a primary component of Zenegra Red 100 mg, which belongs to a class of Phosphodiesterase Type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. 

Sildenafil works by inhibiting the function of Phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5), a chemical found in the body. 

This inhibition widens (relaxes) blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. 

The PDE5 enzyme is restricted, prevents the penis from becoming flaccid, and helps sustain an erection.

Sexual excitement is essential for this medicine to work.
