What is ED?
Erectile dysfunction (
ED ) is defined as inability of the male to attain and maintain erection of the
penis sufficient to permit satisfactory sexual intercourse.
How many men have
ED?
About 30 million men in
the United States suffer from some degree of ED, including about half of all men
aged 40To 70 years.
Are erection difficulties,
such as erectile dysfunction (ED), really a problem that’s just in your head?
Studies have shown that
most ED is caused by physical health problems. These problems are most commonly
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. ED can also be associated
with smoking, drinking too much, or stress. ZWAGRA® can help with ED caused by
these problems. ZWAGRA® treats the physical problem of ED by increasing blood
flow where you need it.
What do I do if feel
funny
talking to my doctor about ED?
ED is a health problem.
Doctors want to know about it to help make your health and your life better.
I don’t have erectile
dysfunction (ED) because the problem doesn’t happen often. Does this mean that
ZWAGRA® isn’t for me?
Even if it happens once in
a while, its still ED. Most men with ED have it just some of the time. ZWAGRA®
has helped about 16 million men around the world with their ED. And ZWAGRA®
helps treat ED where it happens often or only once in a while.
What is ZWAGRA®?
ZWAGRA® (sildenafil
citrate) is a breakthrough treatment for male erectile dysfunction or ED, often
called impotence. It is a convenient pill you take only when you want to have
sex. ZWAGRA® helps men with ED get and keep an erection when they become
sexually stimulated, either physically or visually. So with ZWAGRA®, a touch or
a glance from your partner can again lead to something more.
How does ZWAGRA®
work?
ZWAGRA® enables many men
with ED to respond to sexual stimulation. When a man is sexually excited, the
arteries in the penis relax and widen. This allows more blood to flow into the
penis. The increased blood flow causes the penis to become hard and erect. The
veins that normally carry blood away from the penis then become compressed. This
restricts the blood flow out of the penis. With more blood flowing in and less
flowing in and less flowing out, the penis enlarges, resulting in an erection.
Sometimes the nerves or
blood vessels that are part of this process don’t work properly. If this
happens, a man may not be able to get an erection. ZWAGRA® increase blood flow
to the penis, so that when a man is sexually excited, he can get and keep an
erection. When the sexual encounter is over, the erection goes away.
How well does ZWAGRA®
work?
ZWAGRA® (sildenafil
citrate) improves erections in up to 4 of 5 men compared with 1 out of 4 who
took sugar pills.
Will ZWAGRA® work as
soon as I take it?
ZWAGRA® is ready to work
in your body in as quickly as 30 minutes. And it lasts fir about 4 hours.
Is ZWAGRA® only for men
with
severe ED?
No. ZWAGRA® works for men
how have ED no matter how mild or severe their ED is. If you are taking ZWAGRA®,
it doesn’t mean you have severe ED. Even men who have ED once in a while can
benefit from taking ZWAGRA®.
What strengths of
ZWAGRA® are available?
ZWAGRA® comes in different
doses (25 mg, and 100 mg). Like many medicines, your doctor may have to adjust
your starting ZWAGRA® dose if it doesn’t produce the desired results or you’re
bothered by side effects. Do not take more ZWAGRA® than your doctor prescribes.

inhibitors (such as for the treatment of HIV), it is recommended cot to exceed a
maximum single dose of 25 mg of ZWAGRA® on a 48- hour period.
Can I cut my pills in
half?
ZWAGRA® (sildenafil
citrate) pills are not made to be cut in half. Cutting pills in half is not
recommended. No studies have been done to determine if half a pill is effective.
Who should not take
ZWAGRA®?
ZWAGRA® is only for
patients with ED. ZWAGRA® is not approved for newborns, children, or women. Do
not let anyone else take your ZWAGRA®. ZWAGRA® must be used only under a
healthcare provider's supervision.
Before you start treatment
with ZWAGRA®, be sure to ask your healthcare provider if your heart is healthy
enough for sexual activity. If you’re a man who uses nitrate drugs, like
nitroglycerine, never take ZWAGRA®. The combination of ZWAGRA® and nitrates can
make your blood pressure suddenly drop to an unsafe or life threatening level.
You could get dizzy, faint, or even have a heart attack or stroke. Nitrates are
found in many prescription medicines that are used to treat angina (chest pain
due to heart disease) such as:
-
nitroglycerin (sprays,
ointments, skin patches or pastes, and tablets that are swallowed or
dissolved in the mouth)
-
isosorbide mononitrate
and isosorbide dinitrate (tablets that are swallowed, chewed, or dissolved
in the mouth)
nitrates are also found in
recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite (“poppers”). If you are not
sure if any of your medicines contain nitrates, if you are not sure if any pf
your medicines contain nitrates, you do not understand what nitrates are, ask
your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Can I take ZWAGRA®
after
eating?
Yes, ZWAGRA® can be taken
with or without food.

effects of
ZWAGRA® (sildenafil citrate)?

few hours. Some of these side effects are more likely to occur with higher doses
of ZWAGRA®. With ZWAGRA®, the most common side effects are headache, facial
flushing, and upset stomach. ZWAGRA® may also briefly cause bluish or blurred
vision or sensitivity to light. If you experience chest pain, nausea, or any
other discomfort during sex, or an erection that lasts longer than 4 hours, seek
immediate medical help.

ZWAGRA® are
available?

the desired results or if you’re bothered by side effects. Do not take more

a day as needed.
