How does Penegra 100 mg work?
Penegra consists of Sildenafil citrate. Sildenafil works by inhibiting the enzyme Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which leads to increased levels of cyclic GMP. This helps in relaxation of smooth muscles and increases the blood flow to the penis due to dilation of blood vessels which leads to an erection in response to sexual stimulation.
