Cenforce 150mg

Cenforce 150mg  Overview

Sildenafil is a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor. It relaxes smooth muscle in the penile blood vessels and increases blood flow during sexual stimulation. As a result, men with ED can achieve and maintain an erection. However, it does not cause an erection without sexual stimulation, and it does not increase sexual desire.

Cenforce 150 mg tablets belong to the Fortune Healthcare range of medicines for erectile dysfunction. Doctors should prescribe them only for adult men after a medical evaluation of their cardiovascular health. Women, children, and anyone who should avoid sexual activity for medical reasons must not use them.

How to Use Cenforce 150mg

Follow your physician’s instructions exactly. Approved sildenafil labeling gives a usual starting dose of 50 mg, taken about 1 hour before sexual activity. You can also take it anywhere between 30 minutes and 4 hours before. Your physician may then adjust the dose to 25 mg or 100 mg, depending on how well it works and how well you tolerate it.

• Never take more than your physician prescribes, and do not take it more than once in 24 hours. Approved sildenafil labeling lists 100 mg as the maximum dose, so only a physician should decide whether a higher-strength tablet suits you.
• Physicians usually advise a lower 25 mg starting dose for patients over 65. They also do so for patients with significant kidney or liver impairment, or for those who take interacting medicines such as ritonavir, ketoconazole, or erythromycin.
• You can take it with or without food. However, a heavy or high-fat meal can delay the onset.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water, and do not crush it. Sexual stimulation is also necessary for the medicine to work.
• Alcohol can increase the risk of dizziness and low blood pressure, so keep your intake moderate. Likewise, avoid large amounts of grapefruit juice, because it can raise sildenafil levels.
• Use it only as your physician directs, and only after a medical evaluation.

Precautions & Warnings

• Prescription-only medicine: Use it only under medical supervision. A doctor should first evaluate your cardiovascular fitness for sexual activity.
• Never use with nitrates or riociguat: Sildenafil can cause a sudden, dangerous drop in blood pressure when combined with any organic nitrate. This includes regular or intermittent nitrates, nitroglycerin, and “poppers”. Riociguat, a medicine for pulmonary hypertension, carries the same risk. Therefore, never combine them.
• Cardiovascular caution: Avoid sildenafil without medical clearance if sexual activity is inadvisable for you. For example, this applies after a recent heart attack or stroke, or with unstable angina, severe heart failure, or severe low blood pressure.
• Chest pain: Stop sexual activity and seek immediate medical help if you develop chest pain, dizziness, or nausea during sex.
• Alpha-blockers and blood pressure medicines: Combining sildenafil with alpha-blockers or antihypertensives may cause symptomatic low blood pressure. Therefore, your doctor may adjust the dose.
• Prolonged erection (priapism): Seek immediate medical attention if an erection lasts more than 4 hours.
• Vision changes: Stop the medicine and seek medical attention if you suddenly lose vision in one or both eyes (possible NAION). Blue-tinged vision or light sensitivity can also occur temporarily. In addition, use caution if you have retinitis pigmentosa.
• Hearing changes: Stop the medicine and seek medical attention if your hearing suddenly decreases or disappears.
• Other conditions: Use caution if you have penile deformities. Also take care with conditions that raise the risk of priapism, such as sickle cell disease, leukemia, or multiple myeloma.
• Who should not use it: Women and individuals under 18 years of age must not use this medicine.
• Drug interactions: Tell your doctor about all your current medications. In particular, mention nitrates, blood pressure medicines, protease inhibitors, and CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Overdose Information

Taking more than the recommended dose does not improve effectiveness. Instead, it increases the likelihood and severity of side effects such as headache, flushing, dizziness, visual disturbances, indigestion, and low blood pressure.

If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor, pharmacist, or local poison control center immediately. This is especially important if chest pain, fainting, vision changes, or a prolonged erection occur. Also bring the medicine packaging if you seek medical attention.

Storage Instructions

• Store the tablets at room temperature, between 20–25°C (68–77°F).
• Protect them from moisture and direct light, and keep them in the original pack.
• Keep them out of reach and sight of children.
• Do not use them after the expiry date on the pack.
