Levitra

Levitra is most often recommended to patients whose erection problems are caused by diabetes.

Active ingredient: vardenafil. By making an order, you confirm that you are familiar with this active substance and know its correct dosing regimen. It is advised to get a preliminary medical consultation. If any side effects occur, seek medical attention.

Properties

The major difference between Generic Levitra and Generic Viagra or Generic Cialis is that the former starts working in 25 – 40 minutes. Based on the results of a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, some men using Generic Levitra are able to have sexual intercourse within 10 minutes after taking a pill.

Generic Levitra acts by widening the blood vessels that lead to the penis. At the same time, the medication induces the relaxation of the smooth muscles in the penis. Due to this, the inflow of blood to the organ grows to the levels that are enough for achieving a firm erection that will last long enough for sexual activity. Again, sexual stimulation is a must to feel the effect.

Dosage and administration

Generic Levitra is a drug for on-demand intake. The medication is available in 5mg, 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, and 60mg dosage strengths. The recommended starting dose of the drug is 10mg. Men with certain health problems and those who are more than 65 years old are recommended to use a 5mg dose. Depending on the response to the drug and the side effects experienced, the dose may be increased to 20mg or more. Any changes in the dosing regimen should be agreed with your attending doctor.

The tablet should be taken by mouth about 60 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity. Food can delay the onset of Generic Levitra action so it is better to be taken on an empty stomach. The effect of the medication can last up to 5 hours.
