Cenforce 150 mg is a high-strength formulation of Sildenafil Citrate, a potent PDE5 inhibitor used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It is typically prescribed for patients who do not respond adequately to lower doses such as 50 mg or 100 mg, offering enhanced therapeutic effect and longer-lasting results.
Approved Indications
-
Management of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult males
-
Especially suited for moderate to severe cases of ED or where lower doses are ineffective
Mechanism of Action
Sildenafil Citrate selectively inhibits the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme, enhancing the effects of nitric oxide (NO) released during sexual stimulation. This increases cyclic GMP (cGMP) levels, relaxing smooth muscles in the corpus cavernosum and promoting enhanced blood flow to the penis, resulting in a firm and sustained erection.

High-dose option for men with significant or resistant ED
-
Onset of action: 30–60 minutes
-
Effective duration: 4 to 6 hours

Frequently chosen by those who did not achieve desired results with lower-dose PDE5 inhibitors
Dosage Guidance
-
Take one tablet (150 mg) approximately 1 hour before sexual activity
