Caverta 100 mg

What is Caverta 100 mg?

Caverta 100 mg is a prescription medication used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED). It helps men achieve and maintain an erection by increasing blood flow to the penis.

The active ingredient in Caverta is Sildenafil Citrate, which belongs to the class of medicines known as Phosphodiesterase Type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Caverta 100 mg is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

How Does Caverta 100 mg Work?

Caverta 100 mg contains Sildenafil, which blocks the PDE5 enzyme. By inhibiting PDE5, it allows cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) to accumulate in the penis.

This process:

• Restores cGMP levels
• Relaxes and widens blood vessels
• Enhances blood flow to the penile region
• Helps improve erection during sexual stimulation

It works only when sexual arousal occurs.
