Cenforce (Sildenafil 50 MG)

Cenforce 50 mg Tablet is a prescription-only medication containing Sildenafil Citrate 50 mg, produced by Centurion Laboratories Pvt. Ltd., India. Supplied in strips of 10 blue, film-coated tablets, it is designed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men, offering a moderate-dose option for effective symptom relief. As a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, it enhances blood flow to the penis to support erections during sexual stimulation. It may also be used off-label for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) under medical supervision.

Uses

• Treats erectile dysfunction (ED), aiding men in achieving and maintaining an erection
• Off-label: Manages pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by relaxing lung blood vessels

Side Effects

• Common: Headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, dizziness, mild vision changes
• Rare: Priapism (painful erection >4 hours), sudden vision/hearing loss, severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty), chest pain Seek emergency medical help for priapism, sensory loss, or severe allergic reactions. Consult your doctor if side effects persist or worsen.

How to Use Cenforce 50 mg Tablet

• Dosage: Take 1 tablet (50 mg) 30–60 minutes before sexual activity, with a maximum of 1 dose per 24 hours. A doctor may adjust to 25–100 mg 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 immediate help for severe dizziness, fainting, priapism, or chest pain.

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 begin within 30–60 minutes and last 4–6 hours, requiring sexual arousal for ED treatment.
