Cenforce is a brand name drug that's approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It's made from the drug sildenafil, which is a type of medicine called a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor (PDE5 inhibitor). PDE5 inhibitors can increase blood flow to your penis, and they can help you get and keep an erection that's firm enough for sex.
Your body's ability to get and maintain an erection is a complex process. It involves your nerves, heart, blood vessels, and hormones. But it also depends on your mood and sexual desires.
Some men don't have any underlying health or psychological problems that can cause ED, but they still struggle with getting and maintaining an erection. In these cases, talking with a counsellor individually or seeing a therapist with your sexual partner may be helpful.
Another reason to talk with your doctor about taking an ED medication like Viagra is if you've been having frequent priapism (a long-lasting, painful erection). It's not common for men to have these episodes, but they can happen. If you experience a priapism episode that lasts longer than four hours, go to an emergency room or call 911 right away.
While there are some mild side effects of taking Viagra, most of them either disappear within a few hours or are easy to relieve. You can reduce them by lying down and resting, avoiding alcohol, and reducing your exposure to bright lights.
Viagra is also available as a generic form, which costs less than $8 per pill and can be purchased without a prescription. You can save money by using Tabsvalley to compare prices at local pharmacies and by participating in patient assistance programs or copy savings cards from the manufacturer.
