Cenforce 100 mg contains sildenafil citrate, a medicine used for erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. ED is when a man has trouble getting an erection or keeping it firm enough for sexual activity. It can happen for many reasons, including stress, poor sleep, alcohol use, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart conditions, and some prescription medicines.
Sildenafil supports blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It does not increase sexual desire, cause an automatic erection, or work without arousal. This is why it is important to understand that sildenafil supports one part of the erection process but does not treat every cause of ED.
The correct dose depends on individual health needs. A 100 mg tablet may be suitable for some people, but it is not necessarily the right strength for everyone. A doctor or pharmacist should consider medical history, current medicines, kidney or liver function, and previous response to treatment before advising on a dose.
Sildenafil is commonly taken before planned sexual activity as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. A heavy or high-fat meal may delay how quickly it starts working. Alcohol can increase dizziness and may also make erection problems worse.
Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, nausea, dizziness, and temporary changes in vision. Seek medical advice if side effects are persistent or concerning.
Do not use sildenafil with nitrate medicines for chest pain or heart problems. This combination can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure. It should also not be combined with riociguat or another ED medicine unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
Urgent medical help is needed for chest pain, fainting, sudden vision or hearing changes, a serious allergic reaction, or an erection lasting more than four hours. Always use sildenafil with professional medical guidance.
