Active ingredient of Levitra
An erection of a man's penis, in its essence, is a strong congestion of blood to the penis. In order for the blood to reach the penis normally, the smooth muscles need to be relaxed. With sexual dysfunction, the muscles are pinched and blood cannot pass through the vessels.
Vardenafil acts directly on the muscles, provoking their relaxation. As a result, blood rushes to the penis, a strong and long erection is achieved. The effect of the substance will be much more effective if you warm up well with sexual foreplay before intercourse.
It is thanks to this effect that Levitra enhances the response to intimate stimulation.
