Cenforce 50

Description

What is Cenforce 50 mg?

Cenforce 50 mg is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It is a generic form of sildenafil citrate, which is also the active ingredient in Viagra. This makesCenforce an affordable alternative for those seeking treatment for ED.

Active Ingredient

The active ingredient in Cenforce 50 is Sildenafil Citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor.

Mode of Action

Sildenafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5), which breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). When PDE-5 is inhibited, cGMP levels increase, leading to the relaxation of the smooth muscles in the penile blood vessels. This relaxation allows for increased blood flow into the penis upon sexual stimulation, facilitating an erection.
