How to Use Cenforce 150 mg Tablet

• Dosage: Take 1 tablet (150 mg) 30–60 minutes before sexual activity, with a maximum of 1 dose per 24 hours. Dose may be adjusted (50–200 mg) by a doctor based on response and tolerability.
• Swallow whole with water, with or without food. Avoid high-fat meals or grapefruit juice, as they may delay absorption. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
• Overdose: Seek emergency help for severe dizziness, fainting, priapism, or cardiovascular issues.

How Tablet Works

Sildenafil Citrate inhibits the PDE5 enzyme, increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels, which relaxes penile smooth muscles and dilates blood vessels to improve blood flow for an erection with sexual stimulation. For PAH, it reduces lung blood vessel pressure. Effects start within 30–60 minutes and last 4–6 hours. Sexual arousal activates ED treatment.
