Brief Answer:

Use vaginal lubricants first.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Losing interest in sex at her age is related to postmenopausal hormonal changes. Vaginal dryness also adds to the problem.

She can use proper vaginal lubricants like vaseline and local estrogen gel vaginally to get relief.

Using Penegra is not indicated if she has any cardiac related problems. She needs a comprehensive cardiac evaluation under the guidance of a cardiologist before starting Penegra.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
