Cenforce 120 mg contains sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient found in Viagra. It is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) by improving blood flow to the penis. However, its effect on libido—especially in men with depression—is more complex.

Cenforce 120 mg does not directly increase sexual desire (libido). Instead, it helps achieve and maintain an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. Libido is influenced by psychological, emotional, and hormonal factors. In men with depression, reduced sexual desire is often linked to changes in brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, low energy levels, and emotional distress. Additionally, some antidepressant medications (such as SSRIs) can further reduce libido or cause erectile difficulties.

By improving erectile function, Cenforce 120 mg may indirectly boost sexual confidence and reduce performance anxiety. This can positively affect overall sexual satisfaction and sometimes improve perceived libido. However, if low desire is primarily caused by depression itself, sildenafil alone may not fully resolve the issue.

For men experiencing both depression and sexual dysfunction, a comprehensive approach is best. This may include adjusting antidepressant therapy, counseling, lifestyle improvements, and consulting a healthcare provider. Treating the underlying depression often leads to better long-term improvement in sexual desire and performance.
