Maxgun 100 mg: Complete Guide to Uses, Dosage, Side Effects & Benefits

🔹 What Is Maxgun 100 mg Used For?

Maxgun 100 mg is used primarily for:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED): A condition where a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse.
• In some cases, it may be used off-label for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) under medical supervision (though this is not its primary indication).

Maxgun 100 mg contains Sildenafil Citrate, the same active ingredient found in Viagra, offering a more affordable generic option for ED treatment.

🔹 How Maxgun 100 mg Works (Mechanism of Action)

Sildenafil Citrate, the active ingredient in Maxgun, works by:

1. Inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which breaks down cGMP (a chemical that relaxes blood vessels).
2. This results in increased blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.
3. The improved blood circulation leads to a firmer and sustained erection.

Important: Sildenafil only works with sexual stimulation—it does not cause an erection on its own.
