Main features of the medicine

This medicine is intended to treat erectile dysfunction in men. This pathology is the lack of erection and inability to conduct intercourse by a man. The active substance of Levitra is vardenafil.

Medicine composition, therapeutic doses of the active ingredient

Levitra is available in tablet form. One tablet contains from 5 to 20 mg of the active ingredient vardenafil. The tablet is protected by a blister made of foil. The package contains one blister with tablets.

Mechanism of Levitra action on man's organism

The drug resolves problems with erectile function and enables a man to hold sexual intercourse. Erection is achieved by filling of the cavernous bodies of the penis by blood. Normally this is possible by relaxing the smooth muscles and active inflow of arterial blood. Active ingredient Levitra blocks the enzyme that reduces the concentration of cGMP in cavernous bodies. This process is possible in the presence of nitric oxide. The whole process was studied in detail by a group of scientists, and they held clinical test series in which experimental animals (rabbits and a control group of rats) and male volunteers participated.

Pharmacokinetics

The active ingredient enters the bloodstream by absorption through the stomach mucous. This process takes only 15 minutes. After oral administration the total duration of Levitra action reaches 5-6 hours. The peak activity of the drug occurs within an hour after taking. Fatty food influences the time of activation of therapeutic action. Properties of the active ingredient are not reduced.

Levitra 10 mg

In order for a stable erection to occur, a certain kind of enzymes are needed, where the main role is played by cGMP. Under their influence, the genital arterioles relax, which are located in the muscles of the muscles of the cavernous bodies of the penis. This is a healthy mechanism for the male organ to take an erect state. In order to form cGMP, sexual arousal and an essential nitric oxide component are necessary. The drug acts precisely to block the splitting of the cGMP enzyme, which guarantees a long-lasting quality erection.

Levitra 20 mg

Vardenafil 20 mg allows you to achieve a long erection. Thanks to the active component, blood flow to the cavernous bodies of the penis is selectively enhanced, which is why a high-quality erection occurs. It is worth noting that the drug is not hormonal and does not affect the psyche. Levitra 20 mg is not intended for arousal, its reception only guarantees a quality erection if there is a strong sexual desire.

Levitra 40 mg

Vardenafil is prescribed only after consulting a cardiologist and andrologist, taking into account the peculiarities of the circulatory system and the accompanying illnesses.
