Caverta 25 mg Tablet

Caverta 25 mg Tablet is an oral prescription medicine that contains 25 mg of sildenafil citrate in each tablet. It belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men by helping improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Caverta 25 mg Tablet is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Sildenafil citrate in Caverta 25 mg Tablet relaxes smooth muscle and widens blood vessels in the penis when sexual stimulation occurs, which helps increase blood flow and support an erection. Because it is a tablet, the medicine is swallowed and absorbed through the stomach and intestines before it starts working.

Caverta 25 mg Tablet is the lower-strength option in this brand line, compared with Caverta 50 mg Tablet and Caverta 100 mg Tablet. A doctor may choose Caverta 25 mg Tablet for men who need a gentler dose, are more sensitive to sildenafil, or have medical conditions or drug interactions that call for a lower starting dose.
