Sextra 50 mg Tablet

Sextra 50 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 50 mg of sildenafil citrate in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Sextra 50 mg Tablet is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men by helping improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexually stimulated.

How it works: Sildenafil citrate in Sextra 50 mg Tablet helps relax blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow during sexual arousal. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed before sexual activity, so it only works when there is stimulation and does not cause an erection on its own.

Sextra 50 mg Tablet is the standard mid-range sildenafil tablet strength and is often chosen when a doctor wants a proven dose that balances effectiveness and tolerability. Because this is the only strength sold in this brand range, it represents the full available dose for Sextra, and your doctor may still adjust whether it is appropriate based on your health, response, and side effects.
