About Malegra 50 Mg

Malegra 50 contains Sildenafil Citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor used to treat:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

It works by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow to the penis, lungs, and prostate as needed for each condition.

How Does Malegra 50 Work?

Sildenafil Citrate inhibits the enzyme PDE5, which degrades cGMP. Higher cGMP levels result in the relaxation of smooth muscles and increased blood flow in targeted areas such as:

• The penis (for ED)
• The lungs (for PAH)
• The prostate and bladder (for BPH)

How to Take Malegra 50

• Take Malegra 50 about 1 hour before sexual activity
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water
• Do not crush or chew the tablet
• Take only one dose in 24 hours
• Always follow your doctor’s prescription

Dosage and Duration

Usual dosage of Sildenafil Citrate ranges from 25 mg to 100 mg, depending on your condition and tolerance. Malegra 50 mg is a moderate starting dose. Only use as advised by a doctor.

This is a “take-as-needed” medication for ED. For other uses like PAH or BPH, consult your doctor about ongoing use.

Missed Dose

Malegra 50 is generally taken before planned sexual activity, so a missed dose is unlikely. However, for regular dosing (e.g., PAH), consult your doctor if you miss a dose.
