Cenforce 120 mg is a prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction (aka impotence). It is typically prescribed for moderately severe ED cases, but those experiencing occasional erectile dysfunction may also benefit from it.
It is recommended to take a pill about 30 minutes before intercourse. Its main active ingredient is sildenafil citrate, which works by increasing blood flow to the smooth muscles of the penis and assisting you in achieving an erection. Please keep in mind that Cenforce 120 mg is not a contraceptive and will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea or AIDS.

Sildenafil citrate, its active ingredient, is a cGMP-specific Phosphodiesterase 5 enzyme (PDE-5) inhibitor. That is, its mechanism of action is indirect, as it works by preventing cGMP molecules from being destroyed by the PDE-5 enzyme, thereby increasing their concentration in the penile muscles.
Increased cGMP levels are responsible for the relaxation of penile muscles, which draws more blood and aids in the formation of a firm erection. However, sexual arousal is the only requirement for Cenforce to function because arousal causes nitric oxide release in the corpus cavernosum, which is required for the formation of cGMP molecules in the first place.
