Levitra Information

What is Levitra?
This medication is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men age 18 years or older. It increases the body's ability to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.

Vardenafil does not directly cause an erection of the penis, but it alters the body’s response to sexual stimulation by enhancing the effect of the nitric oxide, a chemical that is normally released during stimulation. Nitric oxide causes relaxation of the muscles in the penis, which allows for better blood flow to the penile area. This medication does not cure impotency, increase a man’s sexual desire, protect from sexually transmitted diseases, or serve as birth control. It only helps maintain an erection when a man is sexually excited.

In the first study, men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who were taking the oral investigational drug Levitra reported consistently improved erectile function the first time they took the drug and subsequently thereafter. For the three months of the study involving more than 800 ED patients, Levitra was reported to consistently improve rates of successful penetration, intercourse success and overall satisfaction during the first and subsequent attempts.
