Cenforce 100mg is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains sildenafil citrate, a potent active ingredient that belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Here's how Cenforce 100mg works:
Increased Blood Flow: During sexual arousal, the release of nitric oxide in the penis triggers the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscles of the penile blood vessels. This relaxation allows blood to flow into the penis, resulting in an erection. However, in men with ED, the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) breaks down cGMP too quickly, leading to insufficient blood flow and difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection.
PDE5 Inhibition: Cenforce 100mg works by inhibiting the action of PDE5, thereby allowing cGMP to accumulate and persist in the penis. This prolonged presence of cGMP helps to relax the penile blood vessels, increase blood flow to the erectile tissue, and promote the formation and maintenance of an erection.
