Actigra 100 mg Tablet

Actigra 100 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains sildenafil citrate 100 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Actigra 100 mg Tablet is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men by helping improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexually aroused. Because this is the 100 mg strength, it is a higher-dose tablet that should be used only when a clinician has determined it is appropriate.

How it works: Sildenafil in Actigra 100 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels in the penis so more blood can flow in during sexual arousal. The tablet form is swallowed whole with water and is designed to work after it is absorbed into the body.

Actigra 100 mg Tablet is the full-strength sildenafil tablet in this product line, so it is not a low-dose starting option. Doctors may choose Actigra 100 mg Tablet for men who need a stronger sildenafil dose after assessing response, side effects, age, other medicines, and heart health. Its effect is not instant and sexual stimulation is still needed for it to work.
