Description

Cenforce-200 Sildenafil 200mg Tablets (10 Tabs)

Cenforce-200 contains sildenafil citrate, a medicine belonging to a group of medicines known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors.

Sildenafil is primarily used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis when a man is sexually stimulated, helping to support an erection.

The product shown on the supplied packaging contains 200 mg of sildenafil citrate per film-coated tablet.

Important: For sildenafil products used for erectile dysfunction, UK prescribing information generally recommends a dose range of 25–100 mg, with 100 mg as the maximum recommended dose. A 200 mg dose is associated with a greater incidence of adverse effects and should not be taken unless specifically directed by a qualified healthcare professional.

How Does Sildenafil Work?

Sildenafil inhibits the PDE-5 enzyme. This helps maintain levels of cyclic GMP in the erectile tissue of the penis. When sexual stimulation occurs, this mechanism promotes relaxation of the blood vessels and increased blood flow, supporting an erection.

Sildenafil does not cause an erection without sexual stimulation.

What Is Cenforce-200 Used For?

Sildenafil is used medically to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men.

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity.

Treatment should be based on an assessment by an appropriate healthcare professional.

Important Dosage Information

The strength shown on this product packaging is 200 mg sildenafil.

For erectile dysfunction, UK sildenafil product information states:

• Usual recommended dose: 50 mg
• Dose may be reduced to 25 mg or increased to 100 mg, depending on response and tolerability
• Maximum recommended dose: 100 mg
• Maximum recommended frequency: once daily

Therefore, do not use a 200 mg sildenafil tablet as a routine dose for erectile dysfunction. If this particular strength has been prescribed to you, follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.

Side Effects

Possible side effects of sildenafil include:

• Headache
• Flushing
• Indigestion
• Nasal congestion
• Dizziness
• Changes in vision
• Nausea

Higher doses can increase the likelihood and severity of adverse effects. The UK SmPC specifically reports increased adverse reactions at 200 mg without increased efficacy.

Seek urgent medical attention if

• An erection lasts for more than 4 hours
• You experience sudden loss of vision
• You experience sudden loss of hearing
• You develop severe chest pain or serious breathing difficulties
• You experience a severe allergic reaction

Who Should Not Take Sildenafil?

Sildenafil may not be suitable for everyone. In particular, it must not be taken with nitrate medicines or nitric-oxide donors, because the combination can cause a potentially dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have:

• Heart or cardiovascular problems
• Low blood pressure
• Liver or kidney problems
• A history of stroke or heart attack
• Eye or vision problems
• Any condition for which sexual activity has been advised against
• Other medicines you are currently taking

Sildenafil can interact with a number of medicines, including certain CYP3A4 inhibitors and some medicines used to treat cardiovascular conditions.

Sildenafil and Alcohol

Alcohol can temporarily reduce erectile function and may make it more difficult to achieve an erection. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption when using sildenafil and follow your healthcare professional’s advice.

Sildenafil and Other Medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you take before using sildenafil.

Do not use sildenafil with nitrate medicines or recreational nitrate products (“poppers”). The combination can cause a dangerous reduction in blood pressure.

Particular care is also required with certain alpha-blockers, blood-pressure medicines, and medicines that affect sildenafil metabolism.
