Introduction
Cenforce is a popular generic medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It contains sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient found in brand-name Viagra. By inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, Cenforce helps to increase blood flow to the penis, facilitating erections.
How Does Cenforce Work?
They are not aphrodisiacs and do not increase sexual desire. For them to be effective, you need sexual stimulation (foreplay) as well, as they will not give you an erection spontaneously (taking a tablet and waiting for something to happen just doesn’t work).
There is no point in a man without impotence taking a tablet if he can get an erection anyway. It is unnecessary and makes no difference.
The drugs work by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow into it, causing an erection. They also make other blood vessels dilate and you may get a flush or a headache. These are usually not bad and are temporary. They shouldn’t stop you continuing to have sex.
You can also get a stuffy nose or indigestion, which usually goes with regular dosing over time or if the dose is lessened.
Dosage and Administration
Cenforce is in three strengths – 25, 50 and 100 mgs. Many doctors start treatment by prescribing the maximum dose, although some may start on a lower dose. The drugs usually work in a minimum of 30 minutes but many men find it better to wait longer to have sex if possible.
Don’t forget that you need sexual stimulation – foreplay – as well as sexual desire to get an erection.
Once you have taken one of the tablets (don’t go above the maximum recommended dose – you simply increase the side effects and not the efficacy), Cenforce will continue to have an effect for four–six hours (although many men claim also to have a good erection the next morning). Don’t have more than one a day.
With too much alcohol or a heavy meal can interfere with getting an erection, so if you want success, cut down on alcohol and don’t have a big meal before sex. If you don’t get much of a result after taking the highest dose on six different occasions, ask to try one of the others, as sometimes this works.
