What it is
-
Generic name: Sildenafil citrate
-
Strength: 150 mg per tablet
-
Use: Treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men
-
Class: PDE-5 inhibitor that increases penile blood flow during sexual stimulation
Regulatory note (U.S.): Many “Cenforce” products are not FDA-approved. Use only with a licensed clinician and a state-licensed pharmacy. Avoid unverified online sellers.
How it works
Sildenafil inhibits PDE-5, preserving cGMP in penile smooth muscle. With sexual arousal, this improves arterial inflow and erection quality. It does not cause erections without stimulation.

Onset: ~30–60 minutes (slower with high-fat meals)
-

-
Dosing frequency: Max 1 dose per 24 hours
How to take Cenforce 150 mg

Take 1 tablet with water 30–60 minutes before sexual activity.
-
Do not exceed one dose in 24 hours.
-
With or without food, but avoid heavy/high-fat meals near dosing.
-
Limit alcohol; it reduces response and increases dizziness.
-
New users or those sensitive to side effects should ask a clinician if a lower strength (25–100 mg) is more appropriate.

-
Keep in original packaging.

FAQs
How long does Cenforce 150 last?
Typically 4–6 hours. Sexual stimulation is required.
Can I take it with alcohol?
Light intake may be tolerated, but alcohol reduces efficacy and increases side effects.
What if 150 mg is too strong?
Discuss lower strengths (25/50/100 mg) with your clinician to balance efficacy and tolerability.
Can I use it daily?
No. Maximum once per 24 h. If frequent use is needed, ask about dosing strategy or alternative agents (e.g., daily tadalafil) with your clinician.
Is Cenforce the same as Viagra?
Both contain sildenafil as the active ingredient, but brand, manufacturing standards, and regulatory status differ. In the U.S., use FDA-approved sildenafil products from licensed pharmacies.
