What is Cenforce 100

Uses of Cenforce 100
Cenforce 100 is used for treating Erectile Dysfunction in men.
Commonly referred to as Impotence, ED is an inability to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual intercourse.
Cenforce 100mg relaxes the penile muscles and facilitates an erection.
Sildenafil, present in this medicine, is also used in treating Pulmonary Hypertension when prescribed by the doctor.
Pulmonary Hypertension arises when the blood pressure within the pulmonary arteries rises above normal.
How Cenforce works
A firm erection requires proper blood flow to the penis.
Cenforce 100 mg increases blood flow to the penis by relaxing the muscles in the penile blood vessels.
It suppresses the action of the Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme in the penis.
PDE5 turns the penis flaccid, making it difficult to get an erection.
Cenforce 100 inhibits this action and helps in treating impotence.
