Vega-100 contains 100mg of sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in Viagra. This medication facilitates improved blood flow to the penis, assisting men in achieving and maintaining an erection. It’s crucial to consult your doctor before use, as it’s not suitable for everyone.
Understanding Vega-100’s Mechanism
Sildenafil citrate works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), an enzyme that regulates blood flow in the penis. By blocking PDE5, sildenafil increases blood flow, resulting in improved erectile function. This effect is triggered by sexual stimulation; Vega-100 doesn’t cause erections without sexual arousal.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended starting dose is one 100mg tablet taken orally, approximately one hour before anticipated sexual activity. Dosage adjustments might be necessary based on individual responses and your doctor’s recommendations. Never exceed the prescribed dosage. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. More serious, though rare, side effects are possible. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, sudden vision loss, or prolonged erection (priapism). A full list of potential side effects is available in the patient information leaflet.
Drug Interactions
Vega-100 may interact with certain medications, notably nitrates (used to treat angina). Combining these can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, before taking Vega-100.
Contraindications
Men with heart conditions, low blood pressure, severe liver or kidney problems, or a history of stroke or heart attack should avoid Vega-100. It’s also unsuitable for individuals with retinitis pigmentosa. Your physician can assess your suitability for this medication.
Storage
Store Vega-100 tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
