How does Cenforce 200 mg Work
Cenforce 200 mg belongs to a class of drugs known as PDE 5 inhibitors. It contains Sildenafil which blocks the action of the PDE 5 enzyme and allows the blood to flow properly to the penis.
cGMP is responsible for the contraction and dilation of blood vessels. PDE 5 breaks down cGMP and obstructs the flow of blood. Sildenafil present in Cenforce 200 blocks the action of PDE 5 and increases the levels of nitric oxide by inhibiting the breakdown of cGMP. Once cGMP is produced properly, blood flows easily to the penis. As more and more blood flows to the penis, pressure is created. This results in an erection.

I wrote a very negative review when I did not receive my product. Later I did receive the order and determined it was delayed by the mail. Therefore I am now happy with “his blue” and have changed by rating from one star to five stars. They did deliver the promised product. I will reorder with them. Sorry for the original negative rating. Thanks
