Description
What is Cenforce 100 mg?
Cenforce 100 mg is a pharmaceutical option for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Formulated with Sildenafil Citrate as its active component, the medication facilitates blood circulation to the genital area, enabling men to achieve and sustain an erection. Classified as a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitor, the drug was initially researched for potential treatments for hypertension and angina before its efficacy in treating ED was discovered.
How to Take Cenforce 100 mg?
This medication can be consumed with or without food, as advised by a healthcare provider. Typically, it should be ingested around one hour prior to engaging in sexual activities. While the time it takes to work can differ among individuals, the drug generally becomes effective within 30 minutes to an hour. The medication is functional only when there is sexual arousal; it won’t produce an erection in the absence of stimulation. For those new to ED medication, it’s advisable to start with a lower dosage, such as 25 mg or 50 mg, before progressing to 100 mg of Cenforce.
Who Should Avoid Cenforce 100 mg?
Cenforce 100 mg is not intended for use by women. Additionally, individuals who are on nitrate medications for conditions like chest pain or angina should steer clear of this drug. Those with significant cardiac or liver conditions, a recent history of heart attack or stroke, or those suffering from low blood pressure should also avoid using this medication. The medication can induce dizziness, so refrain from driving after consumption. Alcohol intake is not advised while using this drug, as it can heighten the risk of adverse effects.
Mechanism of Action
Cenforce 100 mg acts by obstructing PDE 5 enzymes, which cause the penis to return to a flaccid state after erection. The blockage relaxes the blood vessels and enhances blood flow to the genital area, thereby aiding in the attainment and retention of an erection.
Dosage Guidelines
The dosage of Cenforce 100 mg should be tailored to the individual patient’s needs, based on a healthcare provider’s recommendations. General guidelines suggest:
-
Adults under 65: Take once a day, about an hour prior to sexual activity. Timing can range from 30 minutes to 4 hours before sexual activities. Dosage alterations, if needed, will be made by the healthcare provider.
-
Adults over 65: A reduced dose is generally advised, taken once a day about an hour before sexual involvement. The timing and dosage can be adjusted by a healthcare provider based on the individual’s health status.
This medication is not recommended for minors or adolescents.
If you believe you might require a stronger dosage of Cenforce, consult your healthcare provider for an appropriate dosage adjustment.
