Caverta Tablets 20mg

CAVERTA is Ranbaxy's brand of "sildenafil citrate". Sildenafil is the latest oral drug introduced for the treatment of a condition known as "erectile dysfunction" (ED). CAVERTA can help many men who have ED, get and keep an erection when they become sexually stimulated.

CAVERTA enables many men with ED to respond to sexual stimulation. When a man is sexually aroused, the arteries in the penis relax and widen, allowing more blood to flow into the penis. As the arteries in the penis expand and harden, the veins that normally carry blood away from the penis become compressed, restricting the blood flow out of the penis. With more blood flowing in and less flowing out, the penis enlarges, resulting in an erection.

Sildenafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiasterase type 5 (PDE 5). Taken 1 hour before sexual activity, sildenafil works by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation, allowing increased blood flow. This results in better and longer-lasting erection.

Sildenafil (CAVERTA) improves erections in up to 80% of men who take it; regardless of how long they have had ED, what caused it, or how old they are.

Sildenafil has been proven to be an effective treatment in patients with impotence of no known organic cause (psychogenic), with response rates of 65% to 93%. The drug also has a role in patients with erectile dysfunction associated with a definable cause. For example, sildenafil has been shown to be effective in 50% of patients with erectile dysfunction associated with diabetes mellitus. In addition, the drug has shown efficacy in elderly patients and those with a broad range of underlying diseases such as controlled hypertension, spinal cord injury or depression.

Sildenafil also appears to improve the quality of life of both patients and their sexual partners.

For most patients, CAVERTA should not be taken more than once a day. In patients taking certain protease inhibitors e.g. ritonavir, sanquinavir, (for the treatment of HIV), it is recommended not to exceed a maximum single dose of 25 mg of CAVERTA in a 48-hour period.

Sildenafil citrate (CAVERTA) is considered as a breakthrough in the treatment of erectile dysfunction because it is the first effective oral drug for the treatment of ED, regardless of its cause. Other drugs like yohimbine, dopamine and serotonin agonists are not as effective.

Other treatments like penile injections or intra-urethral drugs are associated with many unwanted side effects such as persistent and painful erection (priapism), scarring etc. Mechanical devices are cumbersome and surgical implants may get infected.
