The effects of Penegra 50 mg, which contains sildenafil citrate, typically last 4 to 6 hours after taking the medication. However, the duration of its effectiveness can vary depending on several factors, including:
Individual Response: Some individuals may experience the effects for a shorter or longer period, depending on their body's response to the drug.
Sexual Stimulation: Penegra, like other PDE5 inhibitors, requires sexual arousal to be effective. Without stimulation, the medication may not work as expected.
Dosage: Higher doses of sildenafil, such as Penegra 100 mg, may have a longer duration of action, while lower doses, like 50 mg, may have a slightly shorter effect.
Food and Alcohol: Taking Penegra 50mg with a heavy meal or excessive alcohol may slow down the absorption and reduce the medication's effectiveness.
While the effects typically last a few hours, you should not take more than one dose within a 24-hour period. If you feel the effects are too short or not lasting long enough, it’s a good idea to discuss the issue with your healthcare provider, who can suggest an appropriate course of action.
