How it works

Zeagra 100 mg contains Sildenafil Citrate as its main active ingredient. It works by increasing the blood flow to the penis and inhibits the PDE-5 enzyme, which results in the secretion of cGMP. cGMP brings nitric oxide into play due to the vasodilation process. The vasodilation process makes the tissue of nerves relaxed, allowing more blood to flow into the penis. With the increased blood flow, the penis gets filled with blood. This results in an erection.
