What is Cenforce 100

Cenforce 100mg tablet is an effective medicine for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or impotence in men. 

ED is a common sexual dysfunction in men, making it difficult for them to get and keep an erection during sexual intercourse.

Innumerable reasons like stress, Cardiovascular conditions, Diabetese, a sedentary lifestyle, high cholesterol, etc. can lead to ED.

Sildenafil Citrate, a Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, is the active ingredient present in the medicine. 

Sildenafil pill works by enhancing the blood flow in the penile region and hence achieving and keeping an erection.

Centurion Laboratories is a leading pharmaceutical company that manufactures Cenforce 100mg.

Cenforce 100 mg is a prescription-based medicine that is available in a variety of strengths. It is only meant to be used by men.

Uses of Cenforce 100 mg

As mentioned above, Cenforce 100 mg pills treat Erectile Dysfunction (impotence). The active ingredient in this 100 mg pill of Cenforce is Sildenafil Citrate.

ED is a male sexual dysfunction in which men either cannot attain or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity.

Various physical and psychological factors like Low Libido, Depression, etc., can influence the ED condition.

The primary ingredient of this medicine, Sildenafil, is also effective in treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. 

Your doctor might recommend Cenforce D 100+60 mg if you are experiencing ED along with Premature Ejaculation. 

How does Cenforce 100 work?

Cenforce 100 blue pill is a generic equivalent to Viagra. This means that it is equally as effective as Pfizer's Viagra. 

Sildenafil, in Cenforce 100mg, is a Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. 

It inhibits PDE 5 enzymes from breaking down cGMP levels.

As a result, more cGMP is available, thus relaxing (widening) the blood vessels. 

Relaxing of blood vessels boosts the volume of blood circulating through the penile region. 

Increased blood flow helps with attaining and prolonging an erection. 

This process helps men get and retain a firm erection.
