Working
Sildenafil in Vega 100mg is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitor that inhibits the effect of PDE 5 enzymes abundant in the penile area of a male. This PDE 5 breaks down a substance called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). CGMP is critical in increasing the blood flow in the male genital and reproductive organs. CGMP relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels carrying blood to the penile region. As the blood vessel muscles relax, they dilate (widen) to pump more blood. It causes enhanced blood supply into the erectile tissues (corpus cavernosum) of the male genitalia. Hence, the male gets a robust and sustainable erection and hardness. This process breaks down when PDE 5 degrades and degenerates cGMP, causing cGMP hydrolysis. Vega 100mg prevents PDE 5 and slows down its action on cGMP. As a result, cGMP flourishes in the corpus cavernosum surrounding the male shaft and provides hardness and erection to it, perfectly suitable for penetration and long-duration coitus.

Heart problems
Do not use Vega 100mg if you have severe heart problems like heartbeat disorders (arrhythmia), heart blockage, suffered a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure, or have had heart surgery in the past six months.
Stop the Vega medication and seek medical help if you experience chest pain, dizziness, nausea, or feel sick. Sexual intercourse poses additional pressure on the heart and when your heart is weak because of a stroke, heart attack, heart surgery, or heart failure. Take Vega 100mg only when your doctor says that your heart is healthy enough to manage extra strain from sexual activity.
Priapism
It is a condition where a man experiences an extended and painful erection that does not go away after 4 hours, even when not aroused. Seek medical help immediately because it may damage the penis irreversibly or permanently cause erectile dysfunction (impotence).
Vision loss
Men having eye, vision, or retina issues must avoid the Vega medication because persisting with the medication can cause a sudden decrease or loss in one or both eyes.
