Eriacta 50 mg Tablet

Eriacta 50 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 50 mg of sildenafil citrate in each tablet. It belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class. This medicine is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men by helping improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. The Eriacta 50 mg Tablet is a standard-strength option in the tablet form, supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

How it works: Sildenafil citrate in Eriacta 50 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels in the penis by blocking PDE5, which helps increase blood flow when you are sexually aroused. Because it is a tablet, it is taken by mouth and begins working after it is absorbed into the body.

Eriacta 50 mg Tablet is the lower of the two strengths listed for this brand, with Eriacta 100 mg Tablet being the higher-strength option. A doctor may choose Eriacta 50 mg Tablet when a moderate dose is appropriate, especially if a patient is new to sildenafil or if a lower strength is preferred for tolerability. This strength may be easier to adjust from than the 100 mg tablet, while still providing an effective sildenafil dose for many patients.
