What is Levitra for the treatment of ED?

Levitra is a treatment for ED and was developed by Bayer AG, a German pharmaceutical company.

It was created in 2003 and approved in Japan in April 2004, but sales ended in November 2021, so generic drugs are now widely available.

Levitra is available in two types, 10 mg and 20 mg. 20 mg, which has a higher amount of active ingredient, has a longer duration of effect but also carries a higher risk of side effects, so it is prescribed by doctors after taking into consideration factors such as physical constitution and age.

How Levitra works

When men are sexually stimulated, their bodies release nitric oxide and produce a substance called cGMP (guanosine monophosphate), which has a dilating effect on blood vessels, thereby increasing blood flow in the penis and causing an erection.

The enzyme PDE5, which is secreted when sexual arousal ceases, then breaks down cGMP, which causes the erection to cease.

The active ingredient in Levitra, vardenafil, has the effect of inhibiting the action of PDE5, which breaks down cGMP,Improved erectile strength and persistence by sustaining increased blood flowThis brings us to the following.
