Vardenafil is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which work by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection during sexual stimulation.
Vardenafil is sold under the brand name Levitra, and it is available in various strengths, including 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg. The recommended starting dose is typically 10 mg, taken orally about 1 hour before sexual activity. However, the dosage may vary depending on individual response and tolerability. It’s important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the information on the medication label.
