Levitra

What is it?

Composition

The composition of Levitra includes the active substance vardenafil and auxiliary components that support its effectiveness and stability of form. Vardenafil is responsible for the main effect of the drug - improving erection by increasing blood flow to the penis. The remaining components, although they do not directly affect potency, contribute to the convenience of taking and increasing the digestibility of the drug.

Levitra tablets contain components that help vardenafil to be quickly absorbed and evenly distributed throughout the body. Elements are also added that stabilize the dosage form and improve its safety. As a result, the drug retains its properties for a long time, and its use is comfortable and does not cause discomfort.

Main components:

• Vardenafil is an active substance that has a vasodilatory effect;
• Microcrystalline cellulose - helps vardenafil to be absorbed;
• Magnesium stearate - a stabilizer of the dosage form;
• Crospovidone - an auxiliary element that improves the dissolution of the tablet;
• Silicon dioxide - used as an anti-caking agent;
• Film coating - facilitates administration and protects the substance from premature disintegration.

How to use?

To use Levitra correctly, it is important to follow simple recommendations to achieve maximum effect and avoid unwanted reactions. First of all, the drug is taken orally approximately 30-60 minutes before the expected sexual intercourse. This is the optimal time for the active substance, vardenafil, to be absorbed into the bloodstream and begin to act, providing a stable erection in response to sexual stimulation.

The drug is taken once a day, and the recommended dosage should not be exceeded to avoid unwanted effects. The tablet can be washed down with a small amount of water, and for the best effect it should be taken on an empty stomach, since heavy food can slow down the absorption of vardenafil. The dosage of Levitra is selected individually, based on the mans health, so it is better to consult a doctor to determine it.

Directions for use:

1. Take the tablet approximately 30-60 minutes before planned sexual intercourse.
2. Wash down the drug with water and try to avoid heavy meals.
3. Use only one tablet per day to avoid side effects.
4. Consult your doctor to determine the optimal dosage.

How does it work?

Levitra works due to the action of vardenafil, which helps to relax the smooth muscles of the vessels in the penis and increase blood flow to this area. With sexual stimulation, the drug allows the blood vessels to expand, which ensures blood flow and leads to a stable and long-lasting erection. Thus, Levitra acts only in the presence of sexual arousal, which makes it convenient and natural to use.

The active substance blocks the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5, which interferes with the normal blood supply to the tissues of the penis. As a result of its blocking, the level of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the body increases, which is responsible for relaxing blood vessels and increasing blood flow. This biochemical action helps men with erectile dysfunction get the necessary erection for full sexual intercourse. It is important to note that the effect of taking it lasts for several hours, making it possible to act naturally and without unnecessary tension.
