A type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitor, made with the addition of vardenafil, can be used for one-time stimulation of sexual potency or during a long course of treatment. Before starting the course use of a pharmacological agent, the patient must undergo a comprehensive diagnosis to make sure that there are no contraindications for the use of the drug. Also, the test results will help the attending physician determine the optimal dosage of the tonic and establish the most effective regimen for taking the pills.
Peculiarities of using vardenafil
Orally dispersible tablets dissolve quickly on the tongue and enter the digestive tract. After processing in the gastrointestinal tract, the active substances are transferred into the blood. The maximum plasma concentration of tonic components is observed in the patient's plasma 1.5-2 hours after taking the pill. A phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor has a local stimulating effect on the organs of the reproductive system for 8-10 hours.
How to take pills
To ensure the maximum drug effect, patients should drink orange-coated tablets whole. This means that you cannot bite into or break the pills into pieces. When the capsule is deformed, most of the active ingredients will be lost before they are absorbed into the blood. As a result, a patient with impaired potency will feel a reduced medicinal effect after taking Levitra. You can drink pills at any time of the day. Meals do not change the rate of absorption of the active ingredients.
Select dosage
One of the most important aspects of the course of treatment is the choice of the correct dosage of the drug. Sufficient qualifications to establish the optimal amount of vardenafil are possessed only by experienced doctors who have extensive practice in the treatment of erectile dysfunctions in patients of different ages. The manufacturers indicate that the maximum daily dose of vardenafil is 20 mg. However, this does not mean that all patients should take the maximum amount of the substance daily. If the patient does not take into account the individual characteristics of his body (metabolic rate, level of sensitivity to drugs), then he risks suffering from the side effects of the drug. A physician specializing in treating patients with reduced libido will be able to make the most likely diagnosis and choose corrective treatment in accordance with the patient's history. As a rule, urologists recommend starting stimulation of erectile function with the use of 5 mg tablets. Using a small amount of vardenafil will help determine the body's sensitivity to the stimulant drug and make the necessary dose adjustments in the future.
Indications for Levitra course administration
The passage of a long course of treatment, including the use of vardenafil, is indicated only for those patients who have serious pathologies:
- psychogenic in nature, caused by stress at work and conflicts with family members, unreasonable fears, phobias or depression
- areas of the central and peripheral nervous system
- arteriogenic and venogenic types, associated with insufficient or excessive circulatory activity of the blood
- organs of the hormonal system resulting from dysfunction of the endocrine glands
Also, a tonic is prescribed for the elderly, patients with obesity and diabetes mellitus. The use of an erection stimulator is allowed after surgery to remove the prostate gland. An exciting substance is often prescribed to stabilize sexual function during rehabilitation after getting rid of alcohol, drug or nicotine addiction. Taking Levitra is indicated for men who have a decrease in libido due to the use of certain medications (drugs for prostate cancer, antidepressants, sedatives and muscle relaxants).
Contraindications
Doctors refuse to prescribe a course of vardenafil if the patient needs treatment with nitrates, HIV protease inhibitors, or is already taking other sexual stimulants. Also, the use of tonic medication is prohibited for men suffering from:
