Cenforce 200 mg (Sildenafil Citrate)

Description

Cenforce 200 mg, also known as Black Viagra pills is the highest dose used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. It contains Sildenafil Citrate 200, which works by increasing blood flow to the penis, thus causing an erection. This medicine is usually taken approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before engaging in sexual intercourse. The effects can last for around 4 hours. Cenforce 200 requires sexual stimulation and does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.

How It Works

Cenforce 200mg has Sildenafil Citrate, which inhibits phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5). PDE-5 degrades cGMP in the bloodstream. cGMP is responsible for increasing the flow of blood to specific body organs. The enhanced blood flow due to the increased collection of cGMP by Sildenafil is what causes an erection. The medication only works for ED if the user is sexually stimulated. The best time to take sildenafil is about 1 hour before sexual activity.

Uses

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Cenforce 200mg tablets are prescribed to men who experience difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. It is effective in improving the quality of erections and enhancing sexual performance.
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Sildenafil 200mg is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. It helps to relax the blood vessels in the lungs, reducing the workload on the heart. Thus, improving exercise capacity in people with this condition.

Recommended Dosage

If you are taking Cenforce 2oo mg tablets to treat erectile dysfunction, take it as needed before sexual activity. The best time to take sildenafil is about 1 hour before sexual activity. However, you can take the medication any time from 30 minutes to 4 hours before sexual activity. This medication should not be taken more than once every 24 hours. You can take Cenforce with or without food. However, avoid taking sildenafil with a high-fat meal, as it will take longer for the medication to start to work.

If you are taking Cenforce to treat PAH, you will probably take sildenafil three times a day with or without food. Take it at around the same time every day.
