Levitra is a prescription medication. It is also known as Vardenafil. Levitra is the brand name. The drug Levitra is for treating male erectile dysfunction. Vardenafil or Levitra fall into a category of drugs known as PDE5 inhibitors.
Levitra works by allowing additional blood flow to the penis. That can sometimes be a constant or occasional issue for men and this stops them from being able to achieve and maintain erections. The active ingredient works by starting a chain of reactions in the penis. Levitra requires sexual stimulation to be able to work properly. The Corpus Cavernosa (which are two large chambers in the penis) fill with blood during normal penile function. The blood vessels which are located in the penis dilate (expand to allow more blood flow in) and the blood vessels which would normally be there to take blood away from the penis and back into the body contract (become smaller). This allows for blood to stay in the penis and allow for an erection. Nitric Oxide helps trigger this chain of reactions.
Levitra is available in multiple dosage sizes. It is available in 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 milligram tablets. The pills are generally orange and round. The normal starting dosage for Levitra is 10mg. 10mg of Levitra is equivalent to 50mg of Viagra, which is also known as Sildenafil. To allow Levitra to have plenty of time to take effect, you must take Levitra an hour or two before you plan on becoming sexually active. You should not exceed a dosage of 1 pill per day. This could have serious consequences to your health and side effects.
There are some side effects and risks associated with Levitra. Some of these include but are not limited to the following: drop in blood pressure (also known as hypotension), stroke, heart attack, dizziness, fainting, headache, upset stomach, stuffy nose, runny nose, flushing, blue tinge to objects, trouble telling the difference between the colors blue and green, priapism (which is a painful erection that lasts longer than four hours), etc. If you have any of these side effects, you should speak to your doctor. If you have one of the more serious side effects or risks, such as priapism, stroke or heart attack you should get medical assistance immediately. If you take poppers recreationally, you should not take Levitra.
