Levitra for Erectile Dysfunction
Introduction
Levitra is one of the most effective
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) medications offered on the market. The active
ingredient in the medicine is Vardenafil, which is responsible for increasing
the blood flow to a male penis by enlarging the arteries.
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection in order to
have successful sexual intercourse. Nowadays, as there are numerous ED
treatments to address this problem, men do not have to give in the illness or
abandon their sex lives.
How does Levitra work?
Being a PDE5 inhibitor drug, Levitra relaxes the
patient’s arteries, thus enhancing
the blood flow to his penis once sexually aroused. Without sexual
stimulation, the medication itself is not able to achieve an erection.
Therefore, your sexual partner and Levitra will need to to ‘cooperate’ in order
to achieve an erection.
In fact, all ED medications work according to the
same principle. However, unlike the popular Viagra or
Sildenafil, the efficiency of which lasts only up to two hours, Levitra can
provide a rock-hard erection for up to four hours!
