Caverta Tablets and Strengths

What Caverta Is and Who Makes It

Caverta contains sildenafil citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that helps increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It is used to support erection quality in men with erectile dysfunction, but it does not increase sexual desire and does not work without arousal.

Caverta is manufactured by Ranbaxy Laboratories, now part of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, a well-known pharmaceutical company. As with any prescription medicine, use it only as directed by your prescriber.

How the Caverta Versions Differ

We sell Caverta 25 mg Tablet, Caverta 50 mg Tablet, and Caverta 100 mg Tablet. The main difference between these versions is the amount of sildenafil in each tablet, which can affect how well it works and how likely side effects may be.

Lower strengths may be considered when someone is new to sildenafil, is older, has certain medical conditions, or is taking medicines that may interact. Higher strengths may be prescribed when a lower dose has not given enough benefit, but the best choice depends on your health history and response.

Choosing the Right Strength

For many adults, clinicians often start with a moderate dose and adjust based on effect and tolerability. Caverta 25 mg may be used when a lower starting dose is appropriate, Caverta 50 mg is a common standard option, and Caverta 100 mg may be reserved for people who need a stronger dose and can tolerate it.

Do not choose a strength on your own if you have heart disease, low blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, or if you take nitrates or certain alpha-blockers. Your healthcare professional can help decide which Caverta tablet is safest for you.

Safety and Side Effects

Common side effects of sildenafil include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, dizziness, and changes in vision such as a blue tint or blurred vision. Most side effects are mild, but you should get medical help right away for chest pain, fainting, sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss, or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours.

Caverta should not be taken with nitrates or riociguat, and caution is needed with some blood pressure medicines and certain antifungal, antibiotic, or HIV medicines. Follow the prescribed dose, and avoid alcohol excess and recreational drugs that may increase side effects or lower blood pressure.
