Cenforce 100, which contains sildenafil citrate as its active ingredient, is primarily intended to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. However, sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient, is also used in higher doses under different brand names like Revatio to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in both men and women. PAH is a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs.
Here’s how sildenafil citrate (the active ingredient in Cenforce 100) works for these conditions:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Sildenafil citrate in
Cenforce 100 mg works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which regulates blood flow in the penis. By blocking PDE5, sildenafil citrate increases blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping men achieve and maintain erections.
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Under the brand name Revatio, sildenafil citrate is used in higher doses to treat PAH. It works by relaxing and dilating the blood vessels in the lungs, which lowers pulmonary blood pressure and improves exercise capacity in patients with PAH.
While sildenafil citrate is effective for treating both ED and PAH, the dosages and formulations differ depending on the condition being treated. It’s important to use Cenforce 100 or any other sildenafil medication strictly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and for the intended medical condition.
