How to take Caverta 100 Mg?

Caverta 100 mg may be consumed empty stomach and at least 1 hour before you plan to have sex. The medicine works best when taken 1 hour before the sexual interaction; however, it has been observed that some people tend to consume 2-3 hours in advance. The effect of the medicine may vary from person to person; hence it is strictly advised to consume only after consultation with your doctor and as advised by your doctor.

Half pills may not be as effective as the whole pills, and in most cases, the half drug is not effective at all. Consult your doctor first and follow only the prescribed dosage of the medicine as advised by your doctor. Do not consume half of the pill thinking to minimize the effect to half.

Generally, it is advised to consume only one tablet per day, but the dosage may change as per your doctor’s diagnosis. It is always best to consult your doctor before adjusting the dosage amount as results from an overdose of sildenafil could be very dangerous and fatal.

There are multiple side effects too, which are usually observed in men who consume sildenafil regularly. Still, most of these side effects could easily be avoided by following the proper prescribed dosage and avoiding mixing the medicine with other drugs or alcohol. It is advisable to consume an empty tablet stomach or low-fat meal, and finishing the tablet with alcohol or high-fat meals may not give the expected results or may take longer than expected.

How does Caverta 100 mg work?

Erectile Dysfunction is a common problem among men, and improper blood flow in penis blood vessels leads to this. Caverta 100 Mg contains Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg, a phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitor, and is the main component that helps treat erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil citrate blocks the PDE5 enzyme in the body, which relaxes the muscles in a penis blood vessel, increasing the blood flow to the penis resulting in a longer erection time.
