LOVEGRA-100

Description:

Lovegra-100 is a medication manufactured by Ajanta Pharma, containing the active substance Sildenafil. It is available in the form of oral tablets, with each tablet typically containing 100mg of Sildenafil. Lovegra-100 is specifically formulated to address female sexual dysfunction, particularly female sexual arousal disorder and female sexual dysfunction associated with antidepressant use.

Indications:

Lovegra-100 is primarily indicated for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction, including conditions such as female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) and female sexual dysfunction associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant use. It is also sometimes used off-label to enhance sexual satisfaction and pleasure in women.

How It Works:

Sildenafil, the active substance in Lovegra-100, belongs to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5, which regulates blood flow to the genital area. By blocking this enzyme, Sildenafil helps to increase blood flow to the clitoris and vaginal tissues, leading to improved sexual arousal and sensitivity.

Dosage and Administration:

The dosage of Lovegra-100 is typically one tablet (100mg) taken orally as needed, approximately 30-60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. It should be taken with a glass of water, and the effects may last for up to 4-6 hours. The maximum recommended dosage is one tablet per day.

Possible Side Effects:

Common side effects of Lovegra-100 may include:

1. Headache: This is one of the most common side effects reported with Sildenafil use and is usually mild to moderate in severity.
2. Flushing: Some individuals may experience flushing or redness of the face and neck due to increased blood flow.
3. Nasal Congestion: Sildenafil may cause nasal congestion or a stuffy nose in some individuals.
4. Indigestion: Gastrointestinal symptoms such as indigestion, heartburn, or upset stomach may occur.
5. Vision Changes: Some individuals may experience mild and transient changes in vision, such as blurred vision or increased sensitivity to light.
6. Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Sildenafil can cause dizziness or lightheadedness, particularly when standing up from a sitting or lying position.

Warnings and Precautions:

1. Cardiovascular Risk: Sildenafil can lower blood pressure, especially when taken with other medications that lower blood pressure or with alcohol. Patients with cardiovascular disease or those taking nitrate medications should use Lovegra-100 with caution.
2. Hypersensitivity Reactions: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Sildenafil or other PDE5 inhibitors should not use Lovegra-100.
3. Priapism: Rarely, Sildenafil can cause priapism, a painful and prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if this occurs.
4. Drug Interactions: Lovegra-100 may interact with certain medications, including nitrates, alpha-blockers, antifungal medications, and HIV protease inhibitors. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking.

Lovegra-100 is a prescription medication used for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction. Patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage, administration, and monitoring for adverse effects. Any concerns or potential side effects should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
