Caverta 25mg

Caverta 25mg Uses

Caverta 25mg is prescribed to:

• Treat erectile dysfunction by promoting stronger, longer-lasting erections.
• Improve sexual performance and confidence in men with mild to moderate ED.
• Serve as a starting dose for men who are sensitive to higher doses of sildenafil.

How Does Caverta 25mg Work

Caverta 25mg contains sildenafil citrate, which blocks the PDE5 enzyme, a natural chemical that reduces blood flow to the penis. By inhibiting PDE5, Caverta relaxes blood vessels and enhances blood circulation to the penile tissues, allowing an erection to occur in response to sexual stimulation.

How to Use Caverta 25mg

• Take Caverta 25mg as directed by your healthcare provider, typically 30–60 minutes before sexual activity.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Avoid taking more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.
• Sexual stimulation is necessary for the medication to be effective.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Headache
• Flushing (warmth or redness in the face, neck, or chest)
• Nasal congestion
• Indigestion
• Dizziness

Rare but serious side effects include:

• Prolonged or painful erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism)
• Sudden vision loss or changes in vision
• Hearing loss or ringing in the ears
• Severe dizziness, fainting, or chest pain

Drug Interactions

Caverta 25mg may interact with:

• Nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin) used for chest pain, as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Alpha-blockers prescribed for high blood pressure or prostate conditions, which may increase the risk of hypotension.
• Other PDE5 inhibitors or erectile dysfunction treatments.
• Medications like erythromycin or ketoconazole, which can increase sildenafil levels in the blood.

Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Food Interactions

• Avoid consuming large or high-fat meals before taking Caverta, as this may delay its onset of action.
• Limit alcohol intake, as it can increase the risk of side effects like dizziness and low blood pressure.
