Cenforce 150 is a product name used for sildenafil citrate 150 mg. Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called PDE-5 inhibitors and is used to help treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It can support an erection by improving blood flow to the penis when a person is sexually aroused. It does not usually work without sexual stimulation and it does not increase sexual desire.
How sildenafil works
During sexual stimulation, the body releases signals that relax blood vessels. Sildenafil helps strengthen that natural response by blocking an enzyme (PDE-5), which can make it easier to get and keep an erection for some men with ED.
Important note about strength (150 mg)
Many standard medical references for sildenafil used for ED commonly describe a dose range up to 100 mg once per day depending on the individual. 150 mg is a higher strength than the typical maximum described in many prescribing guides.
Because higher doses can increase the chance of side effects and complications, Cenforce 150 should only be used if a qualified healthcare professional has specifically advised it for you. Do not increase your dose on your own.
General timing guidance (for sildenafil used for ED)
People are often advised to take sildenafil before sexual activity. It may begin working in 30–60 minutes for many users, and effects can last for several hours. Heavy or high-fat meals may delay how quickly it starts working.
Avoid taking more than one dose within 24 hours unless your clinician tells you otherwise.
Who should NOT use sildenafil (major warning)
Do not use sildenafil if you take:
- Nitrate medicines for chest pain/heart conditions (or nitrate-containing “poppers”)
Combining these with sildenafil can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Also get medical advice before use if you have:
- Serious heart disease or were told to avoid sexual activity
- Very low blood pressure
- Severe liver disease
- Severe kidney disease
- Certain serious eye conditions
Drug interactions and caution
Tell your doctor/pharmacist if you take:
- Medicines for chest pain (especially nitrates)
- Medicines for high blood pressure
- Alpha-blockers (often used for prostate symptoms or blood pressure)
- Certain antifungal, antibiotic, or antiviral medicines (some can raise sildenafil levels)
- Other ED medicines or recreational drugs
Mixing sildenafil with certain medicines can increase side effects or cause blood pressure to drop too low.
Possible side effects
Common side effects may include:
- Headache
- Flushing/warmth
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Stuffy nose
- Indigestion/heartburn
- Mild temporary vision changes (such as a blue tint or sensitivity to light)
These are often mild, but higher strengths may make them more likely.
Seek urgent medical help if you notice:
- Chest pain, fainting, or severe dizziness
- Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
- Sudden hearing loss or ringing in the ears
- An erection lasting more than 4 hours (medical emergency)
When to talk to a clinician
Speak with a healthcare professional if:
- You have heart disease, stroke history, or uncontrolled blood pressure
- You take regular medications (especially for heart/BP/prostate)
- Sildenafil doesn’t work after several correctly timed attempts
- Side effects are bothersome or severe
Sometimes ED is linked to conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, stress, low testosterone, smoking, or poor sleep—addressing the root cause can improve results.
