What Is Cenforce 120?

Cenforce 120 mg is a high-strength oral medication prescribed for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It contains 120 mg of Sildenafil Citrate, a potent PDE5 inhibitor that enhances blood flow to the penis, helping a man achieve and maintain a firm erection when sexually stimulated.

• Active Ingredient: Sildenafil Citrate 120 mg

These excipients help the drug dissolve efficiently and maintain its stability.
