Levitra

What is it?

Composition

Levitra contains several ingredients, with the most important active ingredient being vardenafil. Each tablet is carefully formulated to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety in use. In addition to the main active substance, Levitra also contains other auxiliary components that contribute to the stability and proper absorption of the drug.

• Vardenafil - The main active ingredient that improves blood flow to the penis.
• Microcrystalline Cellulose - Used as a filler and improves the texture of the tablet.
• Crospovidone - Helps the tablet quickly dissolve after ingestion.
• Magnesium stearate - Serves as a lubricant and ensures a smooth tablet production process.
• Titanium oxide and yellow oxide Ferrous - Used as dyes for distinguishing tablets.

Together, these ingredients form a tablet intended for oral use. The effectiveness of Levitra is the result of a combination of precisely mixed ingredients that ensure a quick and effective effect of the drug after its use.

How to use?

Proper use of Levitra is key to achieving the best results in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Before taking Levitra, it is important to read the package leaflet carefully and follow your doctors instructions. Levitra is taken orally and should only be taken as directed.

1. Dosage: The standard starting dose is usually 10 mg to be taken approximately 25 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity. The dose can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerance, with the maximum recommended dose being 20 mg.
2. Dosage: The tablet is taken orally and can be swallowed whole with a glass of water. The medicine can be taken with or without food, but heavy or fatty meals can delay the effect.
3. Time interval: You should not take Levitra more than once a day. Make sure there is enough time between doses to avoid overdose or side effects.

Avoid alcohol and grapefruit while taking Levitra, as they can affect the effectiveness of the drug. If you have any doubts or questions about the correct use, always consult your doctor or pharmacist.

How does it work?

Levitra works to improve blood flow to the penis, which helps achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation. The main active ingredient, vardenafil, belongs to a group of drugs known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. This mechanism of action blocks the PDE5 enzyme, which normally reduces blood flow to the penis. By inhibiting this enzyme, the level of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) increases, which promotes smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation.

When sexual stimulation occurs, the body naturally releases nitric oxide, which activates cGMP. The increased level of cGMP subsequently leads to the expansion of blood vessels in the penis, which allows for greater blood flow and thus a firmer and longer lasting erection. Levitra therefore does not work without sexual stimulation; arousal is necessary for the medicine to work properly.

One of the main benefits of Levitra is its rapid onset of action, which can start within 25 minutes after taking it. The effect of the drug can last for approximately 4 to 5 hours, which provides enough time to achieve a satisfactory erection and subsequent sexual activity. This medicine is therefore particularly suitable for men who are looking for a quick and reliable solution to erection problems.

Indications

Levitra is indicated for the treatment of men suffering from erectile dysfunction, a condition in which a man cannot achieve or maintain an erection strong enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. This medicine can be recommended in a variety of cases where the causes of erectile dysfunction vary, and is often used for:

• Psychological causes: Such as stress, anxiety or depression, which can affect sexual function.
• Physical causes: Such as blood pressure problems, diabetes, atherosclerosis or hormonal disorders.

>

• Age-related problems: Older men often suffer from reduced blood flow to the penis due to reduced vascular elasticity and other age-related health problems.
• Treatment interventions: For example, after prostate operations or other surgical procedures that can affect sexual function.
• Lifestyle influence: For example, with excessive alcohol consumption, smoking or obesity, which can contribute to erectile dysfunction.

Levitra provides a solution for men who want to improve the quality of their sex life and achieve a satisfactory erection. However, it is important to remember that Levitra does not treat the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction, but rather helps relieve its symptoms. It is always recommended to consult a doctor before starting treatment in order to determine the most suitable procedure for the individual needs of the patient.

Contraindications

Levitra, although effective in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, is not suitable for everyone. There are certain medical conditions and situations in which the use of this drug is contraindicated because it may cause serious health problems or worsen existing conditions.

• Allergy to vardenafil or other ingredients: If you have a known allergy to any ingredient of Levitra, it is not safe to use.
• Concurrent use of nitrates: Patients taking medications containing nitrates (e.g. nitroglycerin) for treatment of angina pectoris or other heart diseases should not take Levitra, because the combination can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Severe cardiovascular problems: Men with severe heart problems such as a recent heart attack, unstable angina or severe arrhythmias should avoid using Levitra.
• Severe liver or kidney disease: Patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function may have a limited ability to safely metabolize and excrete the drug.
• Recent stroke: People who have recently had a stroke should not take Levitra because it may increase the risk of complications.
• Retinitis pigmentosa: It is a rare genetic disease of the retina in which the use of Levitra is contraindicated.
• Penis deformities: Men with anatomical deformities of the penis, such as Peyronies disease, or with a predisposition to priapism should avoid treatment.

Before starting to use Levitra, it is essential to consult a doctor to avoid possible health risks. Your doctor will assess whether Levitra is right for you and recommend alternative treatment options if there are any risk factors.

Side effects

Like all medicines, Levitra can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Most side effects are mild and transient, but some may be more serious and require medical attention. It is important to know the possible side effects and be prepared for a possible reaction.

• Most common side effects: May include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, digestive problems such as heartburn or nausea, and dizziness. These symptoms are usually mild and go away after a short time.
• Uncommon side effects: May include blurred vision, increased sensitivity to light, muscle or back pain, and temporary changes in blood counts. If these symptoms appear, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
• Serious side effects: Although very rare, they may include sudden loss of vision or hearing, chest pain, a significant drop in blood pressure, or priapism (painful and long-term erection lasting more than 4 hours). These conditions require immediate medical attention.

If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately. It is always a good idea to discuss your medical condition and possible risks with your doctor in detail before starting to take Levitra to minimize the risk of side effects.
