Vardenafil

Vardenafil is an effective erectile dysfunction medication and the generic version of Levitra.

It was approved for ED treatment in Europe by the EMA in 2003 under the brand name Levitra. However, since 2019, it has become available as a generic.

It helps men who experience ED achieve and sustain an erection by increasing blood flow to the penis. In most cases, it starts to work in 30 minutes and lasts for up to 4-5 hours. Although, everyone will react differently to the same medicine.

It is available in 3 doses: 5, 10 and 20 mg.

What is the difference between Vardenafil and Levitra?

Vardenafil is the generic version of the drug Levitra. Both medicines have the same active ingredient, effect, and mechanism of action, but there are some differences to note.

Firstly, the inactive ingredients can differ between products, which can affect tolerability. Secondly, and most notably, the price of the generic version is substantially cheaper than the branded version.

When deciding on treatment, choose whichever one best suits your needs.

Vardenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis when sexually stimulated. This is because impotence is usually caused by health problems that cause poor blood flow.

Vardenafil is a medicine called a PDE-5 inhibitor. These medicines work by:

• Preventing an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) from breaking down essential molecules produced during an erection.
• These molecules signal the smooth muscles in the penis to relax.
• This causes the blood vessels in the penis to dilate, increasing blood flow.

This mechanism of action makes it easier for men to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity.

There are several benefits of using Vardenafil for impotence treatment:

Benefits of Vardenafil

	Quick treatment It takes as little as 30 minutes to start working, which allows for spontaneity.
	Long-lasting effects The effects of Vardenafil last for up to 4-5 hours which means it allows you to be flexible.
	Flexible dosage It is available in 3 doses so that you can adjust if the effect is not enough or too strong.

These benefits mean Vardenafil is a flexible and easy-to-use treatment for erectile dysfunction.

Vardenafil is an effective way to treat erectile dysfunction.

One study looked at the effectiveness of Vardenafil 20 mg in 573 patients.

They found:

• 81% achieved an erection successfully for the first time for penetrative sex.
• 70% reported successfully maintaining an erection throughout intercourse.
• Vardenafil was successful in treating ED in people with other conditions such as high blood pressure, an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and diabetes.
• patients experienced few adverse effects.

You can be assured that Vardenafil is an effective and safe impotence treatment.

Vardenafil is suitable for most men with erectile dysfunction. However, you should always ask your doctor if you have another medical condition or take any other medication.

Who cannot use Vardenafil?

Do not use Vardenafil if you have:

• an allergy to Vardenafil or any other ingredients found in this medicine
• a systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg
• an inherited degenerative retinal disorder
• had a heart attack
• been told sexual activity or vasodilation is dangerous for you
• a history of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (a condition causing sudden vision loss)
• recently had a stroke
• unstable angina

Males under 18 and women cannot take Vardenafil.

Cautions

Some people may need additional monitoring while using Vardenafil, as they may be at an increased risk of side effects.

Consult your doctor if you:

• currently have peptic ulcers
• are over 65 years of age
• have a penis deformity (e.g. Peyronie’s disease)
• have a bleeding disorder
• have cardiovascular disease
• are at risk of priapism (a prolonged erection)
• are at risk of QT interval prolongation

Our free consultation at euroClinix will allow our doctors to ensure that it is suitable for you to take.

To use Vardenafil correctly, follow the dosage and treatment course our medical team prescribes. This ensures the medication’s effectiveness, increases the chance of success and helps avoid side effects.

What dose do I take?

Vardenafil is available in 3 different doses: 5, 10, and 20 mg.

You should take the starting dose your doctor recommends and then adjust if needed.

Can you take Vardenafil daily?

You should not take Vardenafil every day as it is meant for occasional use. If you find you need to take Vardenafil quite often, you may benefit more from using Cialis Once Daily. It contains a lower dose that helps to improve blood flow daily.

When do I take it?

You should take one tablet 25-60 minutes before sexual activity. You can take it any time of the day. But, you shouldn’t take it after a big meal as this can make Vardenafil less effective.

How do I take it?

Swallow each tablet with a glass of water. Do not break, chew or split tablets as this means the medicine won’t work properly.

Vardenafil works within 30-60 minutes with sexual stimulation. However, one study found men successfully achieve an erection in as little as 10 minutes.

For that reason, it’s recommended you should wait a minimum of 30-60 minutes before sexual intercourse for Vardenafil to work.

Once active, the effects should last for 4-5 hours.

There are some things you can do to get the most out of Vardenafil.

It’s also important to have a healthy lifestyle if you have erectile dysfunction.

This is because the condition is also caused by poor circulation, which can be related to several health conditions. This includes type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.

A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains supports vascular health and may improve erectile function. Foods like spinach, salmon, walnuts, and dark chocolate are particularly beneficial due to their nutrients that boost circulation and nitric oxide levels

Like all prescription medicines, Vardenafil may cause side effects.

Common side effects

These side effects, like headache and flushing, are common because the medicine causes increased blood flow. They should subside as you get used to the medicine.

Uncommon side effects

Rare side effects

For a full list of side effects, please refer to the patient information leaflet.

How to manage side effects

Taking the medicine as instructed is the best way to avoid side effects.

However, for short-term side effects, staying hydrated and taking over-the-counter painkillers if required are good ways to relieve discomfort.

If you find that any side effects don’t go away or get worse, see your doctor as soon as you can.

If you experience severe side effects like priapism or chest pain, you need to seek immediate medical attention.

Vardenafil may interact with other medicines you take.

In particular, do not use Vardenafil with:

• other ED medicines or PDE-5 inhibitors
• nitrates, medicines for angina or nitric oxide donors
• medicines to treat arrhythmias
• medicines for HIV
• ketoconazole or itraconazole (anti-fungal medicines)
• erythromycin or clarithromycin (antibiotic)
• alpha-blockers (for high blood pressure or an enlarged prostate)

If you take any other medicines, ask your doctor before using Vardenafil.
