Caverta 50 mg Tablet

Caverta 50 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 50 mg of sildenafil citrate in each tablet. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Caverta 50 mg Tablet helps improve the ability to get and keep an erection when there is sexual stimulation.

How it works: Sildenafil citrate in Caverta 50 mg Tablet relaxes the blood vessels in the penis by blocking PDE5, which allows more blood to flow in during sexual arousal. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system before it starts working.

Caverta 50 mg Tablet is the middle strength in the Caverta range, between Caverta 25 mg Tablet and Caverta 100 mg Tablet. Doctors may choose Caverta 50 mg Tablet for men who need more than the 25 mg strength but do not need, or should not start with, the 100 mg strength. Its effects are similar to the other sildenafil tablet strengths, but the 50 mg dose gives a moderate amount of medicine in one tablet.
