Description
What is Levitra?
Levitra is an erectile dysfunction medicine containing the active ingredient Vardenafil. Levitra works by increasing blood flow to the penis, allowing the two large chambers to fill up more effectively. The result is a harder, longer lasting erection for a more enjoyable sexual experience.
Levitra will only help to achieve an erection when stimulation occurs. Simply taking a tablet will not lead to an instant or permanent erection.
Why Levitra?
Like other impotence medications, Levitra is designed to improve a man’s ability to gain and maintain an erection during sexual activity. By acting quickly and helping to enhance the hardness of an erection, all erectile dysfunction treatments are intended to improve confidence and leave a man feeling more comfortable and relaxed in their sex life.
Levitra has grown in popularity because it typically enables an erection to be achieved quicker and last longer than with Viagra. Any side effects experienced as a result of taking Levitra are milder than those attributed to Viagra.
Levitra is also a more suitable impotence medication than Viagra for diabetics and those with either high cholesterol or high blood pressure.
It can be used:
- By men of all ages
- No matter how severe erectile dysfunction may be
- By men who have undergone a prostatectomy or have had partial removal of their prostate
Like many of the other impotence medications, Levitra is a PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor. This means that the drug suppress a specific enzyme in the body in order to allow more blood to flow through the blood vessels in the penis. However, the active ingredient in Levitra is Vardenafil as opposed to the active ingredient Sildenafil found in Viagra.
Levitra is a fast-acting erectile dysfunction medication but has a shorter half life than many other alternatives. It can take just 60 minutes to take effect, but has an estimated half life of 4 hours. Overall effectiveness is considered to be limited to 12 hours.
