Caverta 100 MG Tablet

Description

Sildenafil is the active ingredient in Caverta 100 MG Tablet. It’s more commonly referred to as the “blue pill.” It is a medication that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Erectile dysfunction is a condition in which a man cannot achieve and maintain a satisfactory erection for sexual activity. This occurs due to reduced blood flow caused by physical injuries and medical diseases, and psychological problems such as anxiety, stress, and depression. Caverta 100 MG Tablet helps relax blood vessels and increase blood flow to the penis. Flushing (redness and warmth), headache, stomach trouble, dizziness, blurred vision, and other side effects of Caverta 100 MG Tablet can occur. These side effects usually go away on their own. If these side effects worsen or last an extended period, talk to your doctor. Caverta 100 MG Tablets can be taken with or without food, depending on your doctor’s recommendations. It’s best to take the medication 30-60 minutes before you have sex. You can, however, take it up to 4 hours before intercourse. Only if you are sexually stimulated can this medicine assist you in obtaining/maintaining an erection. Take no more pills if you want to see benefits quickly. Only men should take Caverta 100 MG Tablet. It is not advised to be used by ladies or children. Caverta 100 MG Tablet is not suggested for persons with heart or renal problems.

Uses of Caverta 100 MG Tablet

What is it prescribed for?

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a condition that affects men.

Erectile dysfunction, often known as impotence, occurs when a man cannot achieve or maintain an adequate hard erection for sexual intercourse. It occurs due to a reduction in blood supply to the penis. Physical issues, such as an accident; diseases, such as benign prostatic hypertrophy (prostate gland enlargement), diabetes, neuropathy (nerve pain), prostate cancer; and psychological issues, such as anxiety, stress, and depression, are also possibilities. Smoking, drinking, and other bad habits can all contribute to ED. Caverta 100 MG tablet increases blood flow to the penis to help maintain an erection. While it is critical to address the underlying cause of ED, it is also crucial to seek counseling and make lifestyle changes and take this medication to gain the best results.

When not to use?

Allergy

Don’t take it if you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to Caverta tablet. If you detect any symptoms such as a skin rash, itching/swelling (particularly of the face/tongue/throat), extreme dizziness, difficulty breathing, etc., seek medical help.

Nitrate containing medicines

Caverta 100 MG Tablet should not be taken if you have been prescribed any nitrate-containing prescription, such as Nitroglycerin or Isosorbide. It reduces blood pressure and causes cardiovascular collapse (a dangerous drop in blood pressure that can be fatal). Dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, headache, flushing, heart palpitations, and priapism (prolonged and painful erection unrelated to sexual activity) are all possible adverse effects.

Riociguat

Riociguat is a drug used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (PAH; high blood pressure in the vessels that carry blood to the lungs). If you’re using Riociguat, Caverta 100 MG Tablet isn’t recommended because it can drop your blood pressure too much, which can be dangerous. Dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, flushing, headache, and nasal congestion are just a few possible adverse effects.

Cardiac insufficiency

When the heart muscle can’t pump blood as well as it should, it’s called cardiac insufficiency (heart failure). Caverta 100 MG Tablet should not be used by people with severe unstable angina (chest pain) or severe heart failure. Sexual activity is also not advised in these circumstances due to the risk of a heart attack. This prescription also affects the heart’s blood arteries, leading to additional heart problems.
