Here’s a breakdown of key information about Cenforce 100 mg:
Active Ingredient
The active ingredient in Cenforce 100 mg is Sildenafil Citrate. This is the same active ingredient found in other well-known ED medications like Viagra.
How it Works
Cenforce 100 mg belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by:
- Relaxing the blood vessels in the penis.
- Increasing blood flow to the penis when sexually stimulated.
- This increased blood flow helps men achieve and maintain an erection.
How to Take
- It should be taken as advised by your doctor.
- The typical recommendation is to take one tablet about 30 minutes to 1 hour before planned sexual activity.
- The effects can last for 4-6 hours.
- Do not take more than once a day.
- It can be taken with or without food, but taking it on an empty stomach may lead to faster absorption.
- It will only help you get an erection if you are sexually stimulated.
