Sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in
Cenforce, works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which can restrict blood flow to the penis. By blocking this enzyme, Cenforce helps relax the blood vessels in the penis, allowing for increased blood flow when a man is sexually stimulated. This makes it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. Cenforce should not be taken with nitrate medications (used for chest pain) or certain other drugs, as this can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure. The usual recommended dose is 50 mg, but the dose may be adjusted depending on individual response and tolerance, up to a maximum of 100 mg. It should be taken with water and on an empty stomach or after a light meal for the best effect.
