Cenforce is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains sildenafil citrate as its active ingredient. Sildenafil belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
Here's how it works:When a man is sexually stimulated, his body releases nitric oxide into the erectile tissue of the penis. Nitric oxide activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase, which increases levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This leads to relaxation of the smooth muscles in the penis, allowing blood to flow into the erectile tissue and produce an erection.
However, another enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) breaks down cGMP, leading to a decrease in blood flow and the loss of the erection. Sildenafil in
Cenforce 100mg inhibits the action of PDE5, allowing cGMP levels to remain elevated for longer periods. This results in prolonged relaxation of the penile muscles and improved blood flow, enabling men to achieve and maintain erections sufficient for sexual activity.
