Cenforce 100mg is a medication commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. The active ingredient in Cenforce is Sildenafil Citrate, which is the same active ingredient found in Viagra. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, allowing men to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused.

- Active Ingredient: Sildenafil Citrate
- Strength: 100mg per tablet
- Dosage Form: Oral tablet

How Cenforce 100mg Works:
Cenforce 100mg works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This allows the blood vessels in the penis to relax, increasing blood flow and facilitating an erection when combined with sexual stimulation. It does not cause an erection without arousal.
