Cenforce is a popular medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains Sildenafil Citrate, the same active ingredient found in Viagra, and works by enhancing blood flow to the penis to help achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity. Cenforce is often considered a more affordable alternative to other branded Sildenafil medications, like Viagra, without compromising on effectiveness.
Key Details About Cenforce:
Uses:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Cenforce is primarily prescribed for the treatment of ED, a condition where a man is unable to achieve or sustain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Cenforce, may also be used off-label to treat PAH, a condition that involves high blood pressure in the lungs, though this is less common.
How It Works:
Cenforce contains Sildenafil Citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor. It works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which normally breaks down cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) in the penis. By inhibiting PDE5, Cenforce helps to increase cGMP levels, leading to relaxation of the blood vessels and enhanced blood flow to the penis. This allows for a firm erection when sexually stimulated.
Dosage:
Cenforce is available in various dosages, including 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg tablets. The most commonly prescribed dosage for most men is Cenforce 100 mg, but the appropriate dosage will depend on individual health factors and doctor recommendations.
It is typically taken about 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity and should not be taken more than once in a 24-hour period.
