Levitra is an orally dispersible tablet used to treat erectile dysfunction. The PDE-5 inhibitor is created on the basis of vardenafil, which provides a vasodilator and arousal effect.

Levitra is also allowed to be used in the treatment of impotence in men who have undergone surgery to remove the prostate gland. The drug demonstrates a high level of effectiveness in eliminating signs of sexual dysfunction in patients suffering from spinal cord injuries and the consequences of obesity.

Drug release form

A pharmacological drug for the fight against erectile dysfunction is available in the form of pills with high bioavailability. Tablets, intended for absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, are film-coated with an orange hue. Dragee with a slightly rough surface have a designation indicating the dosage of vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate (5, 10 or 20 mg).

Indications for the use of the medication

Urologists prescribe to sexually mature patients a course or a single dose of a tonic drug in the event of:

• decrease in strength or complete loss of sexual desire for women
• deterioration of erectile ability while maintaining a normal level of libido, when a man feels arousal, but the genitals do not respond to sexual stimulation
• defective erection, when the penis is not fully enlarged or cannot reach the required degree of firmness
• no involuntary and intentional erection
• inability to achieve complete satisfaction after intercourse, early ejaculation
• lack of self-confidence and fear of intimacy, psychological discomfort during close communication with the opposite sex

Action of the aphrodisiac

Potency stimulating drug copes with signs of complex sexual pathologies, including signs of psychogenic and organic disorders. Levitra begins to act in half an hour after entering the body. The drug activates the production of an erection mediator. There is an active expansion of the vascular walls, which allow a sufficient amount of blood to pass through to maximize the increase in the cavernous tissue of the penis. After filling the perineal area with blood, the swollen cavities compress the venous ducts and temporarily block the path for the outflow of plasma. As a result, the level of blood pressure in the genitals rises and the penis becomes highly rigid. The man experiences a confident erection, which culminates in controlled ejaculation. After the completion of intercourse and the onset of a bright orgasm, venous outflow is restored, the penis takes on a relaxed appearance. Norepinephrine is released, which helps to increase the tone of arterial vessels.

Instructions for using Levitra

Absorption of vardenafil in the blood occurs within 30-40 minutes. The maximum concentration of the pharmacological drug in the plasma is observed 2 hours after the orange dragee is absorbed. A man with different types of sexual dysfunction can take from 5 to 20 mg of the drug per day. The decision to reduce the drug dosage is taken if the patient suffers from kidney and liver dysfunction. The minimum amount of vardenafil is taken by persons over the age of 65. The total duration of the drug exposure is 10-12 hours.
