Description

Cenforce-150 Sildenafil 150mg Tablets (10 Tabs)

Cenforce-150 contains sildenafil citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor. Sildenafil is used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men.

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. Sildenafil works by helping increase blood flow to the penis when sexual stimulation occurs. It does not produce an erection without sexual stimulation.

The packaging supplied for this product states that each film-coated tablet contains sildenafil citrate equivalent to 150 mg of sildenafil.

Important information about the 150 mg strength

The strength shown on the supplied packaging is 150 mg. However, UK prescribing information for sildenafil used for erectile dysfunction recommends an initial dose of 50 mg, which may be adjusted to 25 mg or 100 mg according to efficacy and tolerability. The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg once per day.

Do not take 150 mg sildenafil unless this strength has been specifically prescribed or recommended for you by a qualified healthcare professional.

What Is Cenforce-150 Used For?

Cenforce-150 contains sildenafil, which is used medically to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men.

ED may involve difficulty:

• Getting an erection
• Maintaining an erection
• Achieving an erection sufficient for sexual activity

If erection problems happen repeatedly, it is advisable to speak with a doctor because ED can sometimes be associated with conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

How Does Sildenafil Work?

Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called PDE-5 inhibitors.

During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide is released in the erectile tissue. This contributes to increased levels of cGMP, which relaxes smooth muscle and allows increased blood flow into the penis.

Sildenafil inhibits PDE-5, helping maintain cGMP levels and supporting an erection when sexual stimulation is present.

Sildenafil does not increase sexual desire and does not cause an erection without sexual stimulation.

How to Take Sildenafil

Sildenafil should be taken only according to the instructions provided by your doctor, prescriber or pharmacist.

For standard sildenafil treatment of erectile dysfunction, UK prescribing information states that the usual recommended dose is 50 mg taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Depending on response and tolerability, the dose may be reduced to 25 mg or increased to 100 mg. The recommended maximum is 100 mg once per day.

Because the product shown contains 150 mg, do not use this strength as a routine dose without specific professional advice.

Taking sildenafil after a heavy meal may delay the time it takes to start working.

Sildenafil 150mg Side Effects

Like all medicines, sildenafil can cause side effects.

Common side effects can include:

• Headache
• Dizziness
• Flushing
• Indigestion
• Nausea
• Stuffy or blocked nose
• Stomach discomfort
• Temporary visual changes

These effects are generally more likely with higher exposure to sildenafil.

Serious side effects

Seek urgent medical attention if you experience:

• An erection lasting more than 4 hours
• Sudden loss of vision
• Sudden loss of hearing
• Severe allergic reaction
• Chest pain
• Fainting or severe dizziness
• Seizures

A painful erection lasting more than four hours requires urgent medical treatment.

Sildenafil and Alcohol

Excessive alcohol consumption can make it more difficult to achieve an erection and may reduce the benefit of sildenafil.

Avoid excessive alcohol while taking sildenafil and follow the advice of your healthcare professional.

Sildenafil and Other Medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines, supplements and recreational substances you use before taking sildenafil.

Nitrates

Do not take sildenafil with nitrate medicines.

This includes medicines used to treat angina/chest pain and nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite (“poppers”). Combining sildenafil with nitrates can cause a potentially dangerous fall in blood pressure.

Sildenafil is also contraindicated with the medicine riociguat, because the combination can cause symptomatic hypotension.

Other medicines that may interact with sildenafil include certain:

• Alpha-blockers
• Blood-pressure medicines
• Antifungal medicines
• Antibiotics
• HIV medicines
• Other PDE-5 inhibitors

Always provide your complete medication history to your healthcare professional.

Who Should Not Take Sildenafil?

Sildenafil may not be suitable for everyone.

Speak to a doctor before using sildenafil if you have:

• Heart or cardiovascular disease
• Low blood pressure
• Uncontrolled high blood pressure
• Liver or kidney problems
• Recently experienced a stroke or heart attack
• Certain eye or vision conditions
• A condition where sexual activity is medically inadvisable

Sildenafil should not be used by people taking nitrates or nitric oxide donors.
