Spegra 100 mg Tablet

Spegra 100 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 100 mg of sildenafil citrate in each tablet. It belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is used to help treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. This tablet is taken before sexual activity to improve the ability to get and keep an erection when there is sexual stimulation. It is not an aphrodisiac and does not increase sexual desire.

How it works: Sildenafil citrate in Spegra 100 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels in the penis by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which helps increase blood flow during sexual stimulation. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed into the body before it can work on erection-related blood flow.

Spegra 100 mg Tablet is a higher-strength sildenafil tablet, so it is usually chosen only after a clinician has assessed that a lower dose may not be enough or when a patient has previously tolerated sildenafil. Because it is the full 100 mg tablet, the effect may be stronger than with lower-dose sildenafil tablets, and side effects may also be more noticeable in some people. A doctor may choose this strength based on response, tolerance, age, and other health conditions.

• Erectile dysfunction

• Swallow the Spegra 100 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity, or as directed by your doctor.

Each Spegra 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of sildenafil citrate. This strength may be taken only once in 24 hours if prescribed, but the exact dose and timing depend on your doctor’s instructions and your response to treatment. Do not take more than the prescribed amount, since the 100 mg strength is a higher dose and may increase the chance of side effects.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
