What Is Caverta?
Caverta is a product made by Ranbaxy to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Its main active ingredient is Sildenafil Citrate, the most effective compound in treating male erectile dysfunction.
How Should I Take Caverta?
About one hour before you expect sexual activity, take one Caverta tablet with a glass of water. The maximum dose is one per day, and you should not exceed that amount under any circumstances.
If you have taken more than the recommended amount, call the local emergency room as soon as possible.
As always, do not share Caverta with others.
What Should I Tell My Doctor Before I Take Caverta?
Let your doctor know if you have had:
- Problems with your kidneys
- Problems with your liver
- Problems with your eyes
- Problems with your heart
- A previous stroke

What Should I Watch For While Taking Caverta?
Call your doctor immediately if your vision changes while you are taking Caverta.
If your erection lasts abnormally long (more than 4 hours) or if it starts to cause pain, call your doctor right away. This may turn into a long-term health problem if it is not treated as soon as possible.
If you get nauseous, dizzy, or start to experience chest or arm pain when engaging in sexual activity, stop and call a doctor as soon as you can.
Caverta does not protect against STD's, especially HIV or AIDS.
