Introduction to Pulmopres Tablet

Erectile dysfunction is an inability to keep an erection firm enough for sexual activity. BPH is a condition characterized by men's prostate gland enlargement. This medication is not used in women and individuals under 18. This medication can enhance sexual performance and improve overall sexual satisfaction. By facilitating the ability to achieve and maintain an erection, it can increase confidence and reduce anxiety related to sexual activity.

Pulmopres Tablet is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It increases blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, facilitating the ability to achieve and maintain an erection. This improves sexual function, enhances sexual satisfaction, and increases confidence.
