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

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.

Males under 18 and women cannot take Vardenafil.

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.
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.
5 mg | 10 mg | 20 mg |
---|---|---|
Starting dose if you are taking alpha-blockers or have liver/kidney problems. | Starting dose for most men. | Maximum available dose. |
Alternative if 10 mg is too strong. | Can be increased or decreased if needed. | Suitable if the 10 mg isn’t strong enough. |
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.
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.
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.
Maintaining a healthy weight can improve sexual function and make Vardenafil more effective by reducing your risk of developing cardiovascular problems.
Smoking can damage blood vessels, making you around twice as likely to experience erectile dysfunction. Consider quitting to improve sexual function.
Regular physical activity improves cardiovascular health, boosts circulation, and can make Sildenafil more effective. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week if you are able.
Stress can increase cortisol levels, which is responsible for lowering testosterone. Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing if you feel overly stressed.
Always consult with your healthcare provider before making significant lifestyle changes.
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.
Like all prescription medicines, Vardenafil may cause side effects.
