What is Vardenafil 10mg-60mg Tablets Vilitra or Levitra used for?
Vardenafil tablets 10mg-60mg are used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity, due to insufficient blood flow into the penis. Vardenafil tablets 10mg-60mg relax the blood vessels in the penis increasing blood flow and causing an erection, which is the natural response to sexual stimulation. However, Vardenafil tablets 10mg-60mg will only work if you are sexually aroused.
Vardenafil, also known by the brand name Levitra, is an Rx medication that treats male erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is when a man is unable to get or sustain an erection. It usually happens because the arteries that carry the blood to the penis are too narrow. Vardenafil increases blood flow to the penis. Its action is similar to that of sildenafil, or Viagra, but Viagra lasts between 2 and 4 hours, while Levitra lasts 4 hours.
Brand names: Avitra, Verdanafil, Verdenafil, Levitra, Staxyn, Vivanza.
How do Vardenafil tablets 10mg-60mg Vilitra / Levitra generic work?
During a penile erection, the penis fills with blood. The blood vessels that supply the penis with blood expand, or dilate, and the vessels that take blood away from the penis contract. The two large chambers in the penis, known as the corpus cavernosa, fill with blood. As the blood accumulates in the penis, an erection results. Vardenafil belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. A PDE5 inhibitor stops PDE5 from constricting the arteries. By relaxing the arteries, vardenafil enhances blood flow when a man is sexually aroused. The active ingredient works on the chain of reactions within the penis during arousal. When a male is sexually aroused, nitric oxide is released into his penis, and this triggers a chain of reactions.
This causes an enzyme, guanylate cyclase, to produce cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP regulates the contraction and dilation, or expansion, of blood vessels that carry blood to and from the penis. The chemical reaction causes the vessels that supply the penis to dilate, while those removing blood from the penis contract. Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), another enzyme breaks down or destroys cGMP. When cGMP is destroyed, the blood vessels return to their normal size, effectively ending the erection. Vardenafil stops PDE5 from destroying cGMP. In this way, it allows cGMP to work for longer. As a result, it helps prolong an erection.
Vilitra tablets which contain Vardenafil 10mg-60mg acts on the erectile tissue of the penis to increase blood flow which causes an erection. During sexual stimulation nitric oxide is released in the erectile tissue of the penis which activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase. This enzyme increases levels of a chemical called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which relaxes the blood vessels in the penis and allows blood to fill the spongy erectile tissues to cause an erection. Another enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) breaks down cGMP preventing blood flow into the penis, which causes loss of an erection. Vilitra Vardenafil tablets 10mg-60mg inhibit the action of PDE5 which resolves erectile dysfunction by allowing the natural process of sexual stimulation to activate the cGMP mechanism for achieving and maintaining an erection.

A 10-mg dose of vardenafil is approximately equivalent to 50 mg of sildenafil, or Viagra. This is because the chemical composition of vardenafil is different from that of sildenafil.
Vardenafil is taken 25 to 60 minutes before sex. The effect lasts for up to 5 hours. A maximum of one tablet can be used every 24 hours. The drug will not work unless the man is sexually aroused, so foreplay will normally be necessary. Vardenafil can be taken with or without food, but drinking alcohol is not advised, as it reduces the chance of getting an erection. Alcohol can also increase the risk of adverse effects.
