Intagra 50 mg Tablet

Intagra 50 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 50 mg of sildenafil citrate in each tablet. It belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men by helping improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Intagra 50 mg Tablet is manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Sildenafil citrate in Intagra 50 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels in the penis so more blood can flow in during sexual arousal. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract before it starts working.

Intagra 50 mg Tablet is the 50 mg strength, which is the standard tablet strength used when a doctor wants a moderate dose of sildenafil citrate. Compared with Intagra 100 mg Tablet, the 50 mg tablet may be preferred when a lower or more cautious dose is appropriate, especially if the doctor wants to assess response and tolerability before using a higher strength.
