What is Cenforce 150

Cenforce 150 mg is a medicine to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED).

Erectile Dysfunction or impotence is a condition in which males face difficulty in attaining and keeping an erection due to insufficient blood flow to the penis.

Cenforce contains Sildenafil Citrate as an active ingredient.

This ingredient boosts blood flow to the penile region, which in turn helps a man get an erection.

The manufacturer of Cenforce is Centurion Laboratories.

Uses of Cenforce 150mg

Cenforce is used in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.

As mentioned, ED is an inability in males to get and hold an erection.

It can be caused due to several factors. These factors include physical and psychological aspects, such as Diabetes, vascular diseases, obesity, Depression, Anxiety, and stress.

All of these factors directly or indirectly lead to insufficient blood circulation to the penis.

Sildenafil in Cenforce increases this blood circulation. As a result, it helps an individual to attain a firm erection.

Sildenafil in other medications is also used in treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

How does Cenforce work

Cenforce contain Sildenafil Citrate as an active component.

Sildenafil belongs to the Phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors group.

The inhibition of PDE5 increases cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP), which in turn dilates blood vessels.

The dilation of blood vessels allows more blood to flow through the penile area.

This improved blood circulation helps a man get an erection after sexual stimulation occurs.
