The medicine works only during sexual stimulation.
It does not increase sexual desire or libido.

How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
Sildenafil restores the body’s natural erection pathway:
Sexual stimulation triggers nitric oxide release in penile tissue.
Nitric oxide activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase.
This enzyme raises cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels.
cGMP relaxes smooth muscle in the corpus cavernosum.
Relaxed muscle allows penile arteries to widen.
Blood flows in and fills the erectile chambers.
Expanding tissue compresses the veins, trapping blood inside.
This produces and sustains a firm erection.
An enzyme called PDE-5 breaks cGMP down.
Rapid breakdown makes the erection fade too early.
Sildenafil blocks PDE-5, so cGMP stays elevated longer.
Blood flow is therefore maintained during sexual activity.
Why the chewable form may act faster:
The tablet is broken down in the mouth. It does not need to disintegrate in the stomach first. Absorption then follows the same route as a conventional tablet, through the gut.
Why more is not better:
PDE-5 enzymes in the penis become largely saturated at around 100 mg. Higher doses cannot block much more enzyme there.
Why visual side effects occur:
PDE-6 is a related enzyme found in the retina. Sildenafil affects PDE-6 alongside PDE-5. This explains the blue-tinged vision some men notice. It is more likely at 100 mg than at 50 mg.
Key point:
Without sexual stimulation, no nitric oxide is released. The medicine then has nothing to act on.
Are allergic to sildenafil or any tablet excipient.
Have had a heart attack or stroke within 6 months.
Have unstable angina or angina during sexual intercourse.
Have severe heart failure classified as NYHA class IV.
Have severe low blood pressure below 90/50 mmHg.
Have severe uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Have severe liver disease, such as decompensated cirrhosis.
Have retinitis pigmentosa or another inherited retinal disease.
Have previously lost vision from non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
Have been advised to avoid sexual activity for cardiac reasons.
Are a woman, a child, or an adolescent under 18.
Critical:
Nitrates plus sildenafil can cause a fatal drop in blood pressure. Never combine them. Allow at least 24 hours between a dose and any nitrate medicine.

Emergency Warning Signs
Stop the medicine and seek emergency care immediately if you experience:
An erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism).
A painful erection that will not subside.
Chest pain, pressure, or tightness during or after sex.
Pain spreading to the jaw, neck, or left arm.
Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes.
Sudden decrease or loss of hearing.
Ringing in the ears with dizziness.

Severe shortness of breath.
Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Widespread rash with blistering or peeling skin.
A seizure or convulsion.
Signs of stroke: sudden weakness, slurred speech, facial droop.
If a child eats a tablet:
Call emergency services or poison control immediately.
Take the pack and blister with you.
Tell staff it contains sildenafil citrate 100 mg.
Say it is a flavoured medicine, not confectionery.
Do not wait for symptoms to appear.
Tell emergency staff you have taken sildenafil. State the strength as 100 mg. They must not give you nitrate medicines. Untreated priapism can cause permanent erectile damage within hours.
Contains sildenafil citrate, the most established ED molecule.
Sildenafil has been in clinical use since 1998.
No other ED drug has a longer safety record.
Its interaction profile is the best characterised in the class.
Provides an effect window of 4 to 5 hours.
Taken only when needed, not on a daily schedule.
Cenforce is available at several strengths for dose adjustment.
Honest limitations you should know:
“Soft” describes the format, not a better medicine.
The active ingredient is identical to standard Cenforce.
100 mg is the maximum dose, not the starting dose.
A chewable tablet cannot be divided to reduce the dose.
Men needing 25 mg or 50 mg must use conventional tablets.
The flavoured format carries a real household risk with children.
Sweetener content may matter if you have diabetes.
Chewables are more sensitive to moisture than plain tablets.
Consider a standard tablet if:
You have no difficulty swallowing tablets.
You are using sildenafil for the first time.
You need a 25 mg or 50 mg dose.
You have young children in your home.
You have diabetes and monitor sugar intake closely.
You are aged 65 or over.
Bottom line:
The chewable format solves a real problem for men who dislike tablets. It is the same medicine at the same dose, so choose it for convenience rather than expected performance.
